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.

The Woman from the Organisation to Nurture and Consolidate Europe*

 Besuited agent with a FN P90 PDW ready to protect the principle.

Female suited agent with the P90 arms from the Agents set.

* Apologies again to Charles Stross for borrowing his joke (it is better in French and in the novel Halting State).

Vague But Menacing Government Agency

 Another figure from the Wargames Atlantic Agents set.

This is an out of the box figure, reloading his now empty automatic pistol.

Some minor filling is required to smooth in the arm joints.

I have placed the figure in the following two photographs on a second base as the Empress figure has an integral base.

Here you can see the pistol with its slide back, showing it is empty.

Fireforge Warrior Monks

 Fireforge have just released a box set of Warrior Monks.

There are two sprue frame types (A and B) and there are three each of them

There are naginatas, muskets (teppo) and bows (Yumi) for all.

Victrix Greek Hoplites.

 I ordered a pack of Victrix Greek Hoplites in the North Star Boxing Day sale, probably for the forthcoming Warriors of Athena skirmish game.

I will need to read up on the various armour types and helmets used by the Greek city states.

Victrix have dispensed with boxes, the eight identical sprues come in a ziplock bag with an instruction sheet (a nice touch)

First figure assembled.
