represent body armor, which I have done. \u00a0We are going to play a science fiction game at the club night tomorrow, so little by little, I have been painting up my recent acquisition from Pig Iron. \u00a0I am very happy with the figures. \u00a0They are a nice mixture of something reasonable with something a little bit Hollywood. \u00a0Other science fiction figures feature ridiculously large weapons.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4777\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4777\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
