I have recently come across the Norsth Star Miniture Stargrave figures and what a delight they are! There is an integrated range of Spaceshop Crew, Mercenaries, Troopers and Scavengers, all in male & female versions.
Each box has a multiture of various heads 0- human and alien and all sets have interchangeable arms and equipment, they also fit in very well with the Wargames Atlantic 'Cannon Fodder' range, to enable even more variations.
I have just completed 5 figures each of the Female Spaceship Crew and eth Male Mercenaries, which I presnt below. Painting is by my usual methods and I have based them in an urban setting to fit in wit hthe club's Dr Who / Sci-Fi vibe that is goin on at the present.
First off a couple of Scavengers, I have 3 more still on the workbench. I have built these guys with a distintly alien look, heads supplied on eth parts fram and done the skin tones in a deep purple / pink to make them stand out.

| Two scavengers, more to come. |

| Close-up, this guy carries a sighted AK-47 like blaster |
 |
| This second scavenger, carries a machette and a blaster |
Next up are the Mercenaries, I envisage these as local groundside security personnel, lightly armed and not particularly highly motivated.
 |
Figures come five to a frame, they are stationed on an
Earthlike world in a Galaxy far, far away! |

Rank & File member of the team. This guy is an alien - Vagr
(for those who remember the Classic Traveller game) |
 |
Another Rank & File member,
armed with a 'Blooper' Grenade Launcher |
 |
| Final guy in the squad, carring spare ammo or whatever! |
Last but not least the Spaceship Crew, all female on this frame, but in my opinion that's refreshing to see such equality in the distant future!

| Again five figures on the frame |
