Work in progress terrain item on a work in progress modular baseboard.

I like where you're going with these modular wreckage bits, but the MDF edges on the panels look far too clean in my opinion. It all depends how OCD you get over your toy soldiers, but I'd definitely have to whip the Proxon out and rough up those edges, they seem far too regular as is to sell the idea of wreckage.

I was thinking what to do with the Salvager Family (and robot) from Crooked Dice that I had ordered earlier in the year:
https://crooked-dice.co.uk/product/salvager-family/
https://crooked-dice.co.uk/product/salvager-bot/

There are four humans and one robot, which is nearly a base crew for Five Parsecs From Home.

So I thought I would add another figure, dressed similarly, hence one of the pilots from https://crooked-dice.co.uk/product/pilots/
I had already based and undercoated the pilot.



Character stats will be by picking the options from the tables to match my interpretations of the characters.

A good choice - those are lovely sculpts...I've had my eye on the robot for sometime.

Look forward to seeing them painted up

A small 'bot from the Crooked Dice 'Bot Trader set.


Usable as an objective or a bit of mobile scenery.

Looking good! I need one of those.

So, the first painted crew figure.

The figure uses a Cannon Fodder II body and head and arms from the Stargrave Crew II set.

Unlike the Cannon Fodder I set, the arms (at least the non two handed weapon ones) are compatible - I have not checked the distance across the shoulders yet.



Now to paint the rest of them.

The kitbash looks quite smooth - wouldn’t guess that the parts were from different kits.

Crooked Dice Robots 2 set includes a diminutive humanoid robot, suitable as a companion or tech support.
