Weekend Treasure Hunters

Just a fun little thing I tried in the pool over the holidays.

The boat and chest are now 22 years old, from one of my childhood sets.

 

The goggle faces are from the new Arctic sets, I think they work much better than the official method of helmets with a visor.

 

Funny fact, the boat floats fine on its own or with a figure or two in, but with the heavy chest and 2 figs hanging over the side and affecting the centre of gravity, the whole thing tips and sinks.

 

It ultimately took about 10 minutes to assemble the scene, and a further 2 days of planning and building rigs to keep this on the surface for long enough to take a picture.
