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.

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







Salute 2026

 So, it is that time of year again, the great pilgrimage to the Excel centre for Salute.

Entry was was well organised, utilising a second hall to take the queue (so as not to upset the other attendees at the centre).

Not sure why, but the Titan Owners Club holds a special fascination. Some of them had very garish light shows. It was the only photograph from the show that came out in focus.

So what did I buy?

Some Death Robots for Scrap Jacks.

A lander for invading East London.
A Five Parsecs From Home variant for gaming colonising other planets.
A Solo roleplaying game based on Fallout (more later).
And a Five X from Y variant: Paranoia: SixFive Clones From Alpha Complex.
I also bought the Fallout Hollywood Heroes set and the Brotherhood of Steel starter set.

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.
