Scrapjacks crew

 Here are the crew preparing to enter their first  MHU, YardDog in the lead.






Scrapjacks: Torch

 There are plenty of things that need opening up, and the Torch and his wrecking bar (or det-cord) will get them open.

Anvil Industries Bio-hazard body, Astronaut head and Stargrave arms. The wrecking bar is brass rod with Evergreen tube for insulation.






Scrapjacks crew: Patch

 Patch is there to put things back together, mechanical or medical.

Arms, holster and pouches from the Stargrave Crew set.





Scrapjacks crew: YardDog

 The YardDog is the heavy of the crew, armed with a Riot Gun (and stun baton).

Anvil Industries Female Astronaut with the helmet from the G11 armed Male Astronaut set.

The arms and spare shells are from the Stargrave Mercenaries II set.






Scrapjacks crew: Rigger

 So, having actually read the character load outs for the Quick Start ScrapJacks rules, I started to build some.

First up, the Rigger. Armed with a pistol and a knife, the rigger is there to scan and hack stuff

The body and helmet iare from the Anvil Male Astronaut with the H&K G11 set). The arms are from the Stargrave Crew set. The portable computer (for hacking) is also a Stargrave item.

More painted astronauts

 Here are the first two Scrapjacks inspired figures painted.













Some more astronauts using Anvil and Stargrave bodies

 This figure uses the Anvil Industries Biohazard body and arms, an HK416 SOPMOD rifle and the Anvil Industries Spheroidal Helmet



This figure uses the body from the Stargrave Mercenaries II set and arms I think are from the Crew II set. Again an Anvil Spheroidal helmet ties them together. It does look a bit too big really, for the next one I might try drilling the neck hole out a bit.

Again, the air tank is the second one on the Crew sprue, it is smaller but suits the smaller stature of the figure.

Four of the astronauts together.

Another Astronaut

 Following on from the first figure inspired by Scrapjacks, here is a second one.

This is based on one of the Anvil Industries Biohazard figures using the Spheroidal helmets and a pair of arms from the Stargrave Crew set.

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.

Anvil Industries Biohazard Sergeant as an Astronaut

 A while back Anvil Industries released a five man Biohazard Containment Unit and a Biohazard Sergeant.

The default helmet is a Millenium Gasmask, but I bought a set of their Spheroidal Dome Bubble Helmets as a substitute.

I thought they would make good Expanse style Belters.

This is the Sergeant

He is armed with a pistol and a slung HK416 SOPMOD assault rifle.
He is bracing the pistol with the hand holding a torch.
