Five Parsecs From Home - first painted character
The Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder 2 set (described previously) has a majority of rifle arms (with a standard laser rifle) and some slightly odd pistols.
For one of the Five Parsecs From Home crew, I wanted something more hi-tech, so had a look at the Stargrave Crew II set for usable arms. It turns out that unlike the Cannon Fodder set, the arms fit easily on the torsos. I have not tried a two handed weapon yet, so I am not certain how they would fare.
In Five Parsecs From Home, you roll randomly for the crew's equipment (based on their background) and combine the equipment into a pool that you can then dish out to meet their need.I did wonder about painting a hard edged splinter pattern, but decided that could be too effective, so went with a more blobby pattern.

Sarissa Precision Lantern
The Sarissa Precision Lantern and Ruler set contains parts to build four Japanese Lanterns and two nine inch rulers in the shape of a Katana.
These function as street lights in thermal world, and will provide cover in war-games.The lanterns are fairly easy to build, but do take care with the bottom of the corners. There is a tendency for them to move out of alignment due to the narrowness of the connection at the top.
They were sprayed with Plasticote Rust effect, followed by Halfords Grey Primer. They were then brush painted with Army Painter Stone Golem (inside and out).
