Emergency vacuum equipment

 I blame Patrick Todoroff for this figure. He has been teasing about a new Space dungeon crawl game (Scrapjacks) on his blog and that made me have a look at what I had for vacc suited figures.

Now I have some of Anvil's Biohazard figures (with bowl type space helmets) and their Astronauts but wondered what else I could build.

A number of the Stargrave Crew bodies have rather obvious neck rings that are suitable as seals for a helmet. It makes sense to wear lightweight vacuum proof clothing that you can quickly seal with a helmet if your ship springs a leak.

Here is one crewman ready to defend his ship from boarders.


After I started on this figre, realised there was not really a suitable mounting point for the air supply, other figures might have suitable straps, Just assume there are magnetic/electrostatic mounting points for the backpack.


Now to quote the author:

SCRAPJACKS will be a game about deep space salvagers working the derelict ships, the abandoned stations, and alien ruins on the fringes of colonized space.

So this figure is not really suitable for a player character, but possibly for an opposition figure.

For player charcters, I need to order some of Anvil's Void Salvager figures.
