Ocean Adventure with divers, vehicles and sea creatures of many types.
In a previous blog post, we had ‘Western Adventure’ (Cowboys and Indians).
Today, from the same BJ Toys supplier, is a set that I purchased several years ago, we have ‘Ocean Adventure’.
So far I have failed to create any game that involves warring scuba divers, produced surely as a 1960s spin off from those James Bond movies with underwater battles.
I was attracted by the copy of the Britain’s two man submarine and in another set, the blue speedboat.

Gaming takes second place to making or convert my own gaming figures from polymer clay (Fimo), home-cast metal figures of many scales or plastic paint conversions. I also collect and game with vintage Peter Laing 15mm metal figures, wishing like many others that I had bought more in the 1980s ...
