As many of you know, I began a crazy thread of my Fallout models and terrain some time back. Rather than resurrect an old thread, I am going to start a new one, and just reference the old one here:
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=16800.0
Any way, I am working on new terrain and models, so here are a couple of new (old?) Marx Cars of the Future to wet your whistle.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/7/1352_12_01_11_4_36_31.jpg)
I feel pretty good about my weathering - it isn't spectacular, but it looks good on the table. I also have a barricade using some cars, a blown up engine car, and a police car in the works. Unfortunately, I am now out of Marx cars. I bought 16 of them before that particular ebay store ran out, but they are gone now. I have also found that the Battlefield in a Box Gothic Ruins work really well - and of course, they are now out of production. Bleargh.
I have also scratchbuilt a brahmin for my merchant, and I'll post him when the paint is done.
-
Yes! more ideas to steal! lol
-
The long awaited return to the wasteland ;)
I am looking forward to seeing more of your stuff :D
-
Nice work on the wrecks, I think they look better than your previous versions 8)
-
Well, here are a few more additions to the terrain.
Some fences...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/7/1352_13_01_11_7_54_37_0.jpg)
A police car as well as one whose engine has blown up.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/7/1352_13_01_11_7_54_37_1.jpg)
And an Enclave position. I knew the EE was good for something. Their imperial walls are almost perfect.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/7/1352_13_01_11_7_54_37_2.jpg)
More to come...I am working on a Behemoth Cage, a barricade with a few cars as part of it, and painting a Brahmin for my Merchant.
-
I really like the police car and the blown up one, might have to borrow that for my fallout table ;) :D
-
Awesome! Love the cars and the enclave encampment is a fantastic idea. Will surely steal this one. Excellent as the Enclave random encounter in the Fallout rules eh ;)
-
this looks promising

Superb, keep it coming.

Great stuff. I love the cars. I look forward to seeing more!

Great, these look exactly like what I´m looking for flying cars from 5th element!
-
I continue to be awed by your terrain work. Its great.
-
Lovely as ever, but a shame you split the thread. Worth doing a quick few pics recap of your previous lovely work so it's all linked?
Cheers

He's added a useful link to the past stuff, so that was really helpful. Still I don't get tired of looking at the pics, so the thought of having a thread with all of it together has its appeals. :)

I have always felt that once a thread got over 10-12 pages, it became cumbersome to find items in, so I decided long ago that I wouldn't do that to other people. Don't worry too much, as I am running a game on this terrain in a week or so, and I'll post that here. Besides, I linked to the old one in the first post, so it isn't like I am hiding my madness, y'know? You can always check my gallery on LAF as well - they're all there.
-
And some more stuff that I finished yesterday - won't get much done today, as I have a Napoleonics game to go play.
A small barricade made of cars and such.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/7/1352_16_01_11_5_30_58_0.jpg)
A cage for my not-yet-finished behemoth. Make this a goal for the SuperMutants I will. Amazing what use you can find for an old GI Joe backpack.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/7/1352_16_01_11_5_30_58_1.jpg)
Eww, dead brahmin. Actually, it is the left overs from when I made a brahmin - waste not, want not.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/7/1352_16_01_11_5_30_58_2.jpg)
And, finally, a bridge over these troubled waters. I left it in a lot better repair than most, but I really didn't feel like spending a lot of time doing battle damage, and so I'll divert any complaints by claiming the townsfolk keep it in reasonable repair. They don't like to swim.

Pretty simple construction - just some foam core, a bit of balsa, and some credit card tape tubes from work. All coated in my patented concrete /asphalt mix, and quick painted.

It really looks great! 8) 8)

Looks great! :-* What rules will you be using? I'm thinking of starting a Fallout project and for some reason I find myself drawn to Atomic 1957. Sort of a best of both worlds kinda thing.
-
I must say I am envious of your board, and the amount of nice fallout terrain you have made.
-
Looks great! :-* What rules will you be using? I'm thinking of starting a Fallout project and for some reason I find myself drawn to Atomic 1957. Sort of a best of both worlds kinda thing.
I am using a Fallout Skirmish ruleset that was made by our very own Malebolgia - I used to use Necromunda, but the rules just did not hold up the Fallout feel long term. Besides, the other one is free at the moment, and it feels like I am playtesting it, which is not a bad thing. If I make suggestions, he might even listen.

With the vault terrain you are making? You feel envy? Are you kidding me?

PM him. He'll probably send you a link.

I love the Fallout feel of your stuff.
-

No not at all, I have just started making mine and it will be finished, hopefully in time for summer. I still need to make a liot of outdoors stuff as well. I also probably wont have room for a solid gameboard with resin features etc. The vault I will be able to breakdown into individual pieces and put int to the basement for storage etc. As it is I don't have a nice board to play on yet. So yes I am envious of your board and all the nice clutter items and ruins that give it a great fallout feel.
-
Well, played out the first big version of the Fallout Skirmish rules, and they worked pretty well. I didn't get any good photos of the thing - too busy trying desperately to ride herd on the cats playing, but I am waiting for one of the gentleman playing to send me all of the photos he took, and I'll post those.
Had 6 different factions playing, each with a primary and a secondary goal, and it went pretty well. The Vault Dwellers did the best, escorting the merchant off the board while rescuing 7 poor captives who were due to become supermutants.
Of course, I am already looking at parts of the rules I am not as fond of, and adding clauses and rewrites. Sorry Malebolgia -- no ruleset shall ever escape my wrath. I'll send you what I think may be good as a change, and see what you think.
-
Awesome to hear man! Can't wait to see the photos. And you can send in all rewrites you've got...nothing better than rewrites based on gaming experiences 8)
Will work on the group lists today, so hopefully a new version today or tomorrow.
-
And a BIG HUGE update.
Well, he is damned big, anyway.
Here is my Supermutant Behemoth with scratchbuilt shopping cart cage on his back.

And a couple new scorpions to add to the mix.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/8/1352_02_02_11_4_25_56_3.jpg)
Enjoy! Now, I am off to finish some captives, Enclave, and BoS.

And does anyone else have the urge to build a post-apoc big box store, and call it HoloCostco?
I'll get my hat...

Thumbs up. Snorted my coffee.

And I realized, looking at the photos, that there is no comparison shot, so, here you are.

'E's a big 'un.
And we have the first of a group I am painting in pairs - one hostage/captive, and one not. It took some work, but I found enough models that were 'close enough' to use for it.

oh thats just cool.

Is that super-mutant a hasbro marvel superhero squad abomination?

Is that super-mutant a hasbro marvel superhero squad abomination?
I actually got 3 of this model from my godchildren, who decided Hulk wasn't cool anymore, and they had a bunch of these from their Happy Meals, as well as the smaller one who throws dumpsters. I, of course, used the dumpsters as well for Fallout terrain - they are the orange ones that pop up in my terrain shots.
-

Just up the road from Bomb Marché, isn't it?
No, it Asda be said, that goes a Lidl too far ...

Crom! Mitra! Set! :o :-* ;D
He is rather intimidating. :)
Fantastic gaming table.
Where are you getting your Marx cars?
-
I had purchased several sets when they were available from an ebay seller when I first started doing Fallout. The whole lot seems to be gone now - I couldn't find them when I started looking again. God thing I bought 4 sets of 4 when I did.
-
And a few more of my captive/freed pairs.

And I made some new tokens for people to try and take. I found a printable set of caps that I could glue onto pop caps.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/8/1352_07_02_11_4_51_33_4.jpg)

Your Fallout stuff has been a true inspiration. I think I got my Marx cars from the guy you did on ebay. I got 16 as well. alas he seems to be gone now.

It sure is an inspiration. despite the amounts of metal still in need of paint, I'm finding it hard to control the urge to make something similar. o_o
I too ordered 16 Marx cars on ebay some month ago. Unfortunatly they didn't show up yet. :?
I did find 2 BMW Iszetta's in a toy store though at 1/43 (€5/piece) from the brand cararama.
you can find it on their site : www.hongwell.com
products => 1/43 => 251
also have a look at 148. features a nice caravan for powder gangers :)
-
YES !!! I've got 'em. ;D
apparently paypal (or me) Fu.... up and got the package sent to an old delivery address.
Customs managed to charge me €10 too, but hey, I ain't complaining.
I noticed he still has 2 sets of 4. :D
If your interested, check out oldtoystoreusa on ebay.
-
love the caps man!
-
Majorsmith - thanks, I think they are fun, and they are going to be my encounter chips - will they be loot, or a Deathclaw?
And here is our latest group - a Raider named Mad Dog, and his herd of hounds...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/8/1352_10_02_11_6_21_52.jpg)
I couldn't figure out why they came out shiny, and then I realized I had used my satin spray, not the matte. Oh well - that can be fixed.
Onward to more townsfolk and few mercs!
-
You didn't think I had stopped working on this project, I hope?
We present, General Atomics Robobrain!
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/8/1352_07_03_11_6_09_22_0.jpg)
He was made up of some old jewelry, a tube, and spare treads off some lead tank I had...
And for the well armored Vault Dwellers, we have something a bit more durable than mere security armor. This is to represent a group of Vault Dwellers who had access to a bit more in the way of materials. We call it combat armor with radiation suit qualities - but some of you will probably call it first generation Rogue Trader Eldar Pirates.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/8/1352_07_03_11_6_09_22_2.jpg)
And I felt I needed some pools of gunk, and maybe a bit of water. I used a textured vinyl laminate on plasticard to give me a backing, and than spread inks on the surface. I worked very well, actually.

And more yet to come - I am almost done with my Hasslefree 'Reilly's Rangers', and a few more Raiders, some Brotherhood, and a few Enclave. Busy busy busy!

Looking great!

I even converted one of the ladies to carry a minigun - I am working on those right now, so it won't be long before I have photos up.

The toxic ponds look great! I gotta try that textured vinyl technique.

Congratulations to Sinewgrab on his presentation of the Fallout game at the NHMGS Enfilade game convention at Olympia, Washington, a week and a half ago on May 28. He ran the game for seven players, and it got a very favorable response. A lot of people who didn't play in the game gave positive comments on how good the game looked.
-
Brill thread 8)
Where did you get car wrecks? Need such thing on my game table - any chance to see pic of models standing next to the car?
Is it the same scale?
-
IT'S ALIVE!!!!
Yeah, I'm back, to start the new year with some more Fallout stuff. I move to other projects and inevitably circle back to this. Maybe I should just start selling everything not Fallout...nah.
While stuck at home for New Year's Eve as my wife went to a party (she really wanted to go, and I can't stand some of the people that I knew she would be hanging out with, so I stayed home rather than be the wet blanket) I finished up a herd of Brahmin. Found some great little o-scale cattle to use - soft plastic, so a little green stuff and they were ready for paint.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/9/1352_01_01_12_7_57_28_1.jpg)
And a scale photo...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/9/1352_01_01_12_7_57_28_2.jpg)
And I also decided to scratchbuild a picnic table - how goofy is that? Sorry for the quality of the photo.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/9/1352_01_01_12_7_57_27_0.jpg)
And a response to Demi Morgana - sorry I didn't see that you had asked a question - better late than never, eh? With new table just behind them too.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/9/1352_01_01_12_8_03_11.jpg)

More nice stuff. :-*
-
Beautifull and frustrating ...
frustrating because here in Europe it's impossible to find O-scale train supplies.
HO, N and Z as much as you like, but no O-scale :-(
I've been looking at some US webstores, but the P&P is a dealbreaker. :'(
-
zizi, here are some O gauge suppliers in the UK:

-
Thanks for those links,
but £16 for 3 cow models... that's rather expensive. I think I'll pass.
-
The bag I picked up off this ebay seller was Herefords rather than Holsteins, but here's where I found them here in the US.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ertl-1-64-Holstein-Cattle-Cows-Calves-Bag-25-new-/200687684240?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item2eb9eb0a90
I have to say though, as I have found to my chagrin (losing my pants on a few trades) that the shipping to England from the US is ridiculously expensive. You'd think they were on an island or something...oh, right.
-
You'd think they were on an island or something...oh, right.
lol
-
Fantastic stuff once again. It's always inspiring to see and gets back that Fallout-table-itch in the good place 8)
-
So how did you make the Brahmin?
Cut off both heads and center them up? or does just adding an extra head on the side work?
-
I would not care for a steak cut from those o_o but they do look great! I have some cheap toy cows that are the same scale though for only a few bucks-check those toy isles!
-
I've been scrounging the toystores in the neighborhood and I did find lots of 1/32 livestock, but till this day nothing that scales up with 28mm :(
-
So how did you make the Brahmin?
Cut off both heads and center them up? or does just adding an extra head on the side work?
All of them are looking partially to one side, so just attaching the heads to the side worked fine.
-
And a bit more stuff.
A water purifier and barrels.

And finally, my Yao Guai. I used the Moor Hounds from Reaper.

-
And I am just a busy busy little boy this week. I think I feel inspired.
This piece of terrain was spawned by a find in a Goodwill store - I knew I had to do something with it. It's an ancient Tonka motor home I bought for a buck. It is a bit large, but who cares? It came out cool, and cool overrules scale every time for me.

Great truck! :-* The Water purifier is great too. Inspiring stuff.

Things like trucks/campervan you can get away with post apoc wise as you can make them look cobbled together and hence bigger.
Very nice ;)

Looking great!"Hasslefree 'Reilly's Rangers"
Damn you beat me to it :D
I'm still waiting to see these as well. :D

Nag nag nag...
Well, today's update is a little 'fort' made from the remains of an earth mover toy.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/9/1352_14_01_12_6_36_39_2.jpg)
And hey! Who is that in there?
Yes, I finally finished them off, so here are the Hasslefree marines done in Reilly's Ranger style. I have a few others to add in, but they are not on my hot list right now. I tried to do the little clover symbols, but I just could not get them to look good, so I painted them over.
Group shot

Other shot of the convertered marine please, from the mingun side.
-
Oh, alright. I knew somebody would ask for that - because when I was 3/4 finished painting it I found I had missed some major mould lines I usually smooth out.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/9/1352_14_01_12_7_54_16.jpg)
-
Like your heavy weapons trooper. :)
-
And the latest little cottage. Sometimes I feel like a slacker, especially when looking at things like Elysium's STALKER project, but I am still just more interested in making terrain background, and not have it steal the show from the game mechanics and the models themselves. Detailed interiors look great but in my experience always lead to issues of spacing and movement inside.

And just fresh off the painting table tonight, a couple of flavor additions for the table.
The focal point of the townsfolk - the BBQ spit.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/9/1352_17_01_12_7_20_37_0.jpg)
And I don't want to know what this guy had for dinner, that would leave that color...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/9/1352_17_01_12_7_20_37_1.jpg)
-
Four nice new terrain pieces in three days. This must be some strange new definition of the word "slacker" that I have not previously encountered.
-
Great, like the latest additions, some very nice ideas to steal :)
-
LOL some great ideas and you've done them beautifully :-*
-
No, they are not Fallout proper, but I painted them to go with my terrain, because I think they belong in a post-apocalyptic world. Acheson Designs' Sand worms...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/9/1352_23_01_12_4_50_46.jpg)
Beautiful models.
-
Those do look great.
Nice color scheme.
Maybe not "Fallout proper" but they theme up very well. :)
Are the barrels, tires and other junk in the background from the same company?
-
Some of them. There are actually 3 companies worth there, plus a couple of scratchbuilt. Acheson, Stonehouse, and Armorcast as well bits and bobs from who knows where.
-
Thanks,
I'm going to need to buy some barrels and other stuff soon.
Great thread as well. :-* You have helped inspired me to start my own Post Apoc project.
I'm actually waiting for stuff from EM-4 now.
-
Heh. Glad to be of service. ;)
-
And a small addition to the terrain. My own version of the Megaton bomb.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/9/1352_25_01_12_6_44_17.jpg)
I am a little irritated with the water effects I used, as they cracked in places unexpectedly. Live and learn, I suppose.
-
Great looking stuff.
Will we be seeing it in a game soon? ;)
-
Well, there are not a whole lot of them, but I have a few pictures from a battle today. A couple of groups of raiders allied with mutants and ghoul mercs to attack a small town and their Ranger allies.

The herd of Brahmin ran in circles when they were accidentally stampeded by the Raiders.

Albino scorpions are mean.

The mini nuke is not a small template.

It is all about saving the kids - who were a random encounter. They found them hiding in an ant nest.

The gentleman playing the raiders avoided the nuka-cola caps, which trigger random events, and managed to have the worst dice rolls of the game. I think the gods of chance were telling him something.
Luckily for me, everyone still had fun.
-
I got to play the raiders, little good it did me.
My bad luck played out in spades.
As for the Nuka Cola caps,
I figured my luck was so bad that if one turned up,
I would be toast.
Great fun anyway.
Neal runs an outstanding game.
Thanks for running it.
-
Very nice looking game judging by the pictures. :)
Lots of good looking terrain elements and models.
-
I like it all, but the roads are pretty boss.
-
What a great looking board. It looks like you guys had a really good time.
As I said before, these threads have really inspired me to jump into this genre as well.
I wish I was there. :'(
I'm pretty sure you answered this before, but what rules did you use?
-
I am currently using a modified version of the Weird Krieg ruleset that Malebolgia built. I have shifted a few things, but that is the core. I am going to testing a new set soon for post-apoc stuff, but it isn't truly Fallout, so we'll see how it works.
-
Thanks for the response Sinewgrab.
I remember Malebolgia talking about a Lovecraftian ruleset he had completed, but I don't remember Weird Krieg.
Either way, looks like a good time. You've built up quite a collection.
The mini nuke is bad ass! >:D
-
Sweet stuff. I love the bomb. The mini Nuke template is great.
-
Thanks - I love it when a project comes together.

You can find the Fallout version here :) (it's in the compiled Fallout thread)

@sinewgrab: wow, that AAR looks fantastic! The mini-nuke looks really scary, love the way you implemented it!

Threads like yours are the reason I joined that forum. I do like every little thing, from the cars right down to the bramins.
I suggest you start Rivet-City sometime soon.
-
I probably won't do Rivet City, but I may very well do a HoloCostco... the idea of a post-apocalyptic big box store being turned into a city amuses me greatly.
-
So, yeah, this topic has been quiet a while. I noticed when I went to show someone else some wrecked vehicles that were not Marx cars that I had not actually posted any images of them, so, here we are.

And a boat - a toy I stole from my godson. He didn't mind - he thought the paintjob was neato.

I really love those pick up trucks! All your vehicles are very inspirational.
You wouldn't happen to remember the make/ model of them would you?
-
1955 Chevy Truck, 1/35th scale, but I have no idea of the manufacturer. I bought them from a local grocery store for $4.99 each.
-
Yes you have an excellent project ongoing. I love your car wrecks.
-
Thanks. It is one of those never-ending projects that I keep going back to, as Fallout is one of my first loves in gaming.
-
Update!
I have been trying forever to find an appropriate figure for Geckos, and while the heads are not perfect, these work really well!
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/15/1352_16_11_13_7_38_29.jpg)
Monsterpocalypse Carnidons (sp?) with a simple wash over the factory paint job. And between this and my latest Pulp project, I am finally back to painting.
-
And we had waayyy too much time on our hands over Thanksgiving...
So, Dust has a set of Quonset huts for a reasonable price, and I find that they paint up well.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/15/1352_05_12_13_4_24_48_1.jpg)
And I finally started finishing up some rubble piles I had from over a year ago - possible two. BUT, I also found a cheap way to do cactus.

How you might ask? Simple - steal the beads from your wife's collection ;) and then glue a dab of Autumn flock to the top for flowers, and BAM!
Barrel Cactus!
More to come tonight, but I have to go to work now.. (boo! hiss!)
-
Feck!? Six huts for £16? That's a steal, thanks for posting them.
^^ I use beads all the time on my own terrain, and yet somehow the idea of making cacti out of them never hit me. I think of pumpkins first before those. That's some nice scatter to go along with the rest of your stuff. Eugh, people get ever so messy with their stuff after the apocalypse. Clean up you louts!
Are those 28mm bases on those Geckos? They aren't perfect stand ins, yes, but fluff wise you could just name them something like "Stunted Gecks", not actually related to Geckos as a species, but called so by ignorant wastelanders (like Mirelurks and Kings).
-
Those Q-huts are a steal. I need to paint mine up.
-
Cool pics, looks good painted up!

Yep. They stand just a touch taller than a standard 28mm, which makes them almost perfect scale.
-
And so I decided to finally start on my next pair of terrain boards - a parking lot and then a HoloCostco. I have connections in the sign industry, and was able to get a sheet of 2" thick Gatorfoam that was not sellable, so they let me have it. Think of foamcore, but with a melanine face instead of paper, and a denser foam.
The advantage to this is that it is durable, but can be cut and shaped fairly easily. I started with this...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/15/1352_05_12_13_4_26_14_0.jpg)
I went with my standard 24" x 48" board size, and textured portions of it with Fleckstone spray, along with my patented "Put a Damn CD on it" terrain basing system. I wanted to have cracked asphalt, and so we took a chisel and a small mallet to it.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/15/1352_05_12_13_4_26_14_1.jpg)
And then we proceeded to paint a mix of white glue, black paint, and sand onto the surface of the 'asphalt'. The 'orange' is a RAw Sienna base color I use for everything Fallout.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/15/1352_05_12_13_4_26_14_2.jpg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/15/1352_05_12_13_4_26_14_3.jpg)
And now, after much painting and drybrushing, is this. There will be plenty of room for wrecked cars to hide behind, and all sorts of stuff. I have to build a fence to put on it, but otherwise, I think I am done. Next, the building.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/15/1352_05_12_13_4_26_14_4.jpg)
-
So, as I work on smaller things, I added some bits and bobs to my stuff before I get a few days off for the holidays and dig into the Holocostco build.
I was given an old plastic Bonsai tree that was broken in a couple places, and with a bit hot glue and pinning wire, we got these out of it.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/16/1352_21_12_13_5_35_21_0.jpg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/16/1352_21_12_13_5_35_21_1.jpg)
If you notice a color shift in the ground, it would be because I have started lightening up my Mars terrain from chocolate brown to have more raw sienna in it, and started darkening my Fallout colors from pure raw sienna to have more reds in it, so that I can mix the two more easily visually in preparation for a campaign I may be running for my main gaming group, using FUBAR 5th ed 2 page rules to create armies and battle it out. We were going to do VSF, but some of the guys can't afford to start a new army right now, and they have 40k armies they can convert easily.
And what better place to fight a war than on post-apocalyptic boards?
We also picked up some models from WarGamma Miniatures, and I was very pleased. For $20 shipped, I got these two pieces.
The Burrowing Beast - this guy I think I can use for sooo many things. Post-apoc, Pulp, Fantasy - all of them!
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/16/1352_21_12_13_5_35_22_2.jpg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/16/1352_21_12_13_5_35_22_3.jpg)
And the crashed satellite. This piece actually has some triangular fins on it originally, but I did not like them and trimmed them off. Only flaw in the piece to me. Can also work as an unexploded A-bomb.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/16/1352_21_12_13_5_36_10_0.jpg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/16/1352_21_12_13_5_36_10_1.jpg)
And a couple more random terrain pieces with cacti, because it worked.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/16/1352_21_12_13_5_36_10_2.jpg)
-
Those look fantastic i apsolutely love it!!!! Ive gotta get my hands on some terrain for my fallout themed game, i love your CD basing, i may have to steal that, how do you get such a perfert circle without clue/sand creeping into them.
Also, wheres the Cacti from? They would work great for a fallout new vegas setting.
-
As I said a page earlier, they are beads I stole from my wife painted green with autumn colored flock glued on top.
The perfect circle is from my leaving the CD's on the board with a little 2-sided tape until I get to the painting stage. Texturing the CD's when I spray just means that they are ready to go when I am working on new stuff.
And, in my own carzy way, I have done a few more cars I got on the cheap at local flea markets for terrain.

I feel pretty good about the weathering on these. They are a little large at 1/35 scale, but they'll do.
And I found some bits and bobs that I am not entirely sure where they came from, but look good as possible mutant or alien plot points.

Nada Piper

Raz the Ghoul, sniper.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/1352_12_11_14_1_02_29.JPG)
And Midas, the man with the golden power fist.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/1352_12_11_14_1_02_54.JPG)
And from behind...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/1352_12_11_14_1_06_24.JPG)
-
Sweet and simple. c: Nice figures too, and the golden glove. lol
-
Thanks! The flannel shirt on Nada was a pain - the character is based on Roddy Piper from 'They Live', then someone thought Raz, a ghoul, was an appropriate name. (Batman reference...) I just finished a commission painting 20+ Armorcast buildings from back in the 90's that the fellow forgot he had until he brought me a plastic box that hadn't seen the light of day for almost 20 years, and asked me to put them together and paint them for him, and now I need to get some stuff I like to paint done.
-
Great update, i love the caravan and the combat armored trooper with power-fist !
-
I can't believe i missed this its super amazing!
-
Great work again.
Really like the look of your stuff.
-
And the "I have nothing to do since I was laid off" update! Well, other than searching for a job, but anyway...
And my newest supermutants - both are from a collectible minis game called Dreamblade, with the second guy (that I painted as a nightkin) having Ork hands added, as he normally just has blades.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/1352_21_11_14_3_32_15.JPG)

And the closest I have found to a Lakelurk yet. Pose works for when they are charging at you out of Lake Mead.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/1352_21_11_14_3_33_34.JPG)
And a Brother Vinni Robobrain - I just put a dome on, no brain inside. I just didn't feel that talented this week.

Being as they were Star Wars collectibles, I was unsurprised by the lack of any facial features, and they almost ended up in the below.
New rubbish bins, in the ever so sexy orange.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/1352_21_11_14_3_35_32.JPG)
And I have about 40 or so more figures I am working on that I already had in the works...going to have to run a game here soon.
-
Woo! I like the robobrain. What did you use for its "lid"?
SW figures look like dead ringers for enclave. Nice work. 8) 8)
Cheers
Matt
-
Great stuff !
I've converted that same dreamblade figure (butcher.)
Damn right silly those 2 meat choppers on his arms.
-
Great stuff!

And we keep throwing new stuff out there!
So, anyone who has gone into Hidden Valley has seen these...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/1352_22_11_14_3_36_24.JPG)
And I have been racking my brain for a good couple of weeks, trying to figure out how to make a minefield based on the way frag mines look in Fallout. I was talking to my wife this morning when I made a comment (that I no longer remember) that provoked a sudden plunge into my bits box. You know those goofy little plastic shield bosses GW used to provide in every blister that had shields?
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/1352_22_11_14_3_37_07.JPG)

-
Hehe, I've got a few of those shield bits around here for mines.
The figures look nice too, nice big chunky mutants.
Maybe I should hurry with my lagoon man >.>
-
The shield boss idea is brilliant! I've only played the PC versions of Fallout so I've never seen these range top thingies before what are they?
-
In Fallout New Vegas, when you go in, you find bunker entrances and these fans sticking up out of the ground, that are both the air for the bunkers and a defense system that when they reverse blows the sand around like a storm, causing the locals to think of it as haunted. I just need to finish the bunker entrances next...

And more Enclave...yes, I know the officer has a mush face - he is one the not-so-good sculpts from the Star Wars range. It is why I did not give him a new gun - why put silk stockings on a pig?
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/1352_26_11_14_6_41_17.JPG)
And I told myself, "Self, you are not allowed to paint any of Vinni's Power Armor until you paint some of those old figures you collected years ago"...so here we are.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/1352_26_11_14_6_43_41.JPG)
I never realized these guys say 'SWAT' on them until I was drybushing and it showed up. :?
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/1352_26_11_14_6_42_15.JPG)
So, of course, once these were done...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/1352_26_11_14_6_43_13.JPG)
These are some very well made figures. The Enclave armors don't fit together as well. I got two of these, and the other one is getting a little conversion work, and will get a worn green paint job so that it looks like the T-51b from the Deathclaw Promontory. I am also working on a set of captives and prisoners from Vinni as well, but I don't know if I will even post them - certainly not here - as they are NSFW, and I am no Michi when it comes to skin tones.
-
Great job again. It should be interesting to see the Brother Vinni Power Armor beside the Reaper one to have an idea of how they fit together... ;)
Maybe SWAT mean super weapon, armor and technologie... :D

The new figures look great.
Can't wait to see them on the table.

They sure are. BTW : what isn't mentioned on his site : you can order individual parts from him like weapons or arms. Very handy for conversions ;)

Fantastic. Love the idea for the stand of the lakelurk! Were does this mini come from ?
Thanks for the comparison. The minis fit well together, enought for me.I think vinni will have my money soon... :D

New terrain!
So, I have started a job where I have access to a CNC router and engraver, and I am, in fact, being encouraged to try some of my own projects on it in order to learn its quirks. I found a big chewed up piece of 1 1/2" thick Gatorfoam ( a sign material of foam with a hard layer of wood pulp on both sides)
and started with a couple of map images of Vault 101, vectored them, moved stuff around to make it fit the piece, added a room here and there, and started routing it.

And because experimentation is the name of the game, I used my brand spanking new airbrush (a gift from an old friend who felt he owed me for years of christmas and birthday gifts I gave him when he could not afford to give me anything - he didn't but he felt that way)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/21/1352_01_03_15_7_33_09_3.jpg)
I wanted to give the feel of the pip-boy map, but still make things visible. I like how it has come out. I also made several vault doors...

I learned that the machine has some limits, but can do wonders if treated right, and using Windex for thinner works well with airbrushing acrylic paints, but air the house out while you work, or you will have the fiercest headache from the fumes. Especially if you are drinking aquavit at the same time. The hangover this morning was murderous.
Next step - add toilets and sinks, maybe a tub or two. I found some that I liked and ordered them, so I'll take care of that when they get here.

:-* :-* :-*
I am agog at how damn cool this is. Well done!

Using a massive computer-controlled router to produce scenery - we really are living in the future, and it is awesome.
The airbrush glow around the walls is also inspired.
Nicely done!
-
That is amazing. Now do another one of a wrecked vault! ;)
-
Oh man, that is something special....
-
That's cool we all need a router like that..sadly :( we are not going to have one.
-
:-* This is so awesome! :-*
-
I'm very impressed with the airbrushed glow effect well done on that. The whole piece is obviously impressive but computer control can give some fantastic results.

:o Amazing!!! :-*

This is actually a quite small CNC, honestly. It can only handle up to 25" x 49" - one of my former workplaces has one that will work on material up to 48" x 120". Now THAT would be a Vault...
That is amazing. Now do another one of a wrecked vault! ;)
I only have so many scrap pieces around, lad. Besides, I am starting to have to balance storage versus desire to make terrain. My assigned portion of the garage is only so large.

Thanks. I learned a lot trying to do this - i had blocked in areas of color with a brush, because the colors I wanted to use were so transparent that it would have taken 15 or 20 coats at airbrush thin to get any color, but it also led to a less blended look. Live and learn.
I also realized afterwards that some of the doors and corridors are so small, that I will not be able to actually place figures in them - I did not think to check all of the room scales in the grid of the program, so I will not be able to put any BIG figures in at all. But hey, everyone is usually their own worst critic, am I right?
-
:o
I am completly speechless! I was casually browsing through this thread thinking this is awesome. And then you sping a complete vault on me! Brilliant!
You have now made me use far more exclamationspoints than I am usually comfortable with!
-
What can I say? Fallout is one of my 3 perpetual hobby addictions.
1) Fallout/Post-Apoc
2) VSF/Steampunk
3) Pirates
Those three genres never get old for me. I am almost at the point that I would add Space Opera, but I have gone on 3-5 year hiatuses from that genre before, even though I am locked into it right now. I just wish I could get a group together to give Victory Decision a try for platoon level battles...
But anyway, I am fairly pleased with how well the Vault turned out. I have another much smaller piece of foam at work that I am considering trying to turn into a second 'level' for this vault, as I am planning on turning the little 'loop' at one end into stairs up and down - I just haven't built that yet to put in. I used enough windex as the thinner for the airbrush and then for the matte sealer that it is still outgassing enough to give me a headache, so I have to take a break while it dries in the garage for a week or so.
-
Yes you are your own worst critic vaults are for normal people not mutants! Ventilation is key don't poison yourself for the love of the hobby. lol
-
That vault is incredible! :-* Could you potentially make a giant table with your river, parking lot, and vault boards back to back to back? I think it's safe to say everyone would love to see a game on that setup. ;)
-
Actually...hmm, yes that could be done. A bit large for a Fallout game proper - I would almost need to be doing a Brotherhood versus Enclave or Legion versus NCR on a table that large.
-
Marvellous thread! :)
-
Bravo, I applaud to the fantastic vault scenery you started on.
-
And with the advent of Fallout 4, we get our mitts back into Fallout terrain. I found some rather nice little toy boats at a local flea market, and they became useful...

It is one of those hard foam buildings so popular in the late 80's, early 90's, that I picked up for a song.

Love the boats, definitely captures the feel of those little tugs grounded on the river in Fallout 3. 8)

ALL ABOARD!!!! Muahahahaha! Ai ai ai!
(Sorry, I'll get my hat.)
Anyway, I am blaming another gentleman on this board for this sudden burst of inspiration - he had a ghoul-led mule train, and I said to myself, "Self, there is no way a wasteland merchant would be caught dead leading mules when there are respectable Brahmin around. So, self, what are we going to do about that?"
Well, this.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/1352_22_06_15_1_34_16_0.JPG)
Each one has a 'function' - I tried to keep groups of items together at least peripherally, to give them whole train a reason to hang together.
For example, this one is 'tools', with chainsaw, oar, rake, shovel...

Not bad for a weekend's work!
-
Nice work :) Are the Brahmin conversions, or can you buy two headed livestock?

Nice work :) Are the Brahmin conversions, or can you buy two headed livestock?
Mine are conversions - I purchased these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ERTL-BLACK-ANGUS-COWS-CALFS-NEW-IN-PACK-1-64-SCALE-/221799221537?
And then made a mold of the head, so that I could cast a second head and attach it, using greenstuff to cover the joins. The first time, I cut half of their heads off, but then I had all these wasted bodies...
-
This is flipping fantastic! A true wastelands caravan.
-
:-* Cracking bunch of brahmin there! Question: could someone climb aboard the one covered in weapons and just start firing like crazy? In the event of an emergency, of course.
-
Not impossible, I am sure. Brahmin may object, though.
-
As the mule-leadin' guilty party I have to say those are just fantastic. Brilliant job.

But thanks. It feels good to get back on the Fallout horse, er, Brahmin.
-
Question: could someone climb aboard the one covered in weapons and just start firing like crazy?
No, that is Bill, the Baddass Bull Brahmin who has reached sentient levels, he is the convoy leader and mercenary. :D His partner Steve on the other hand, is happy to smell the irradiated roses ;D
Seriously great conversions and cows. Works well as individual traders, whole convoys or a little flavour in a town.
Love the Pikachu bag aswell :-* :-*
Cheers

This is epic good.
I don't comment that much on this thread. But that is mostly because I would just repeat what everyone else is saying.

Heh, I wondered how long that would hang before someone noticed. A moment's whimsy...
-
Wow man some seriously epic work! This is my first time seeing the milled vault and I must say it is a beauty. What kind of tool is used to cut it? I have a manual mill and a mini mill I might try this on one day.

A Vision 2550 router/engraver I have at my work. I justified it as a learning project. :)
-
Nice work man, it really looks great. So much detail in the baggage, just lovely. :) I will be doing the same with my Brahmin in the coming months. I bought a pack of those ERTL Brahmin a month ago, originally planning to split them between herd/wild brahmin and pack brahmin. Now that I see how nice they turn out with the stowage, I may just buy another bag for the wild ones. Converting them was a cinch and they look awesome with all the baggage loaded on. :-*
-
I did similar brahmin recently, only two though and without the baggage. So they are fewer and much less awesome. ;)

Wow, a real interesting build there for fallout, but it will turn into some great games I'm sure. :)
Cheers
Matt
-
Love the captain and the boat this new multi-genre idea could catch on.
-
Well, that's how you get to Point Lookout in Fallout 3, and when I was making it, I had a discussion with some gamer friends who pointed out that a lot of boats would survive because of how they are moored away from the major population points, especially on lakes.
And while the two Ghouls are kind of meh, the Captain I was very happy with.
-
I really like the ghouls actually, especially the cowboy one.
-

I like the suit one too. Fallout needs more ghoul accountants.

Heh. Yeah, he is some skull-faced villain from DC or Marvel - I had to shorten the legs, or he would have been ridiculously tall (ah, Heroclix...) and the other Ghoul is Toten-something from Pulp Figures. I can't remember where the Captain came from - maybe Lead Adventure itself.
It has been a busy weekend - speaking of Point Lookout, here is a big fella that just looked too perfect as a mutant hillbilly...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/1352_29_06_15_1_12_20_0.JPG)
Hill Giant Chief from Pathfinder Miniatures...with a quick repaint to bring out some colors.
And I now have the Golden Geckos, though they are a bit large. Good for making people get worried when they show up, I guess.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/1352_29_06_15_1_12_21_1.JPG)
And I finished a couple dogs.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/1352_29_06_15_1_12_22_3.JPG)
And a group shot along with Granny Smith - she is still the apple of my eye!
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/1352_29_06_15_1_12_23_4.JPG)
Oh my! What is that thing in the middle there? Wolf Girl's fault - I had to make a Loc-Nar. Not really Fallout, but it will definitely make it into a game at some point.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/1352_29_06_15_1_13_12.JPG)
-
A boat certainly opens up a lot of new scenarios. Love the ghouls, the cowboy looking one could be Raul during his Vaquero days.
-
Now you need to make a Tarna, to go with the Loc-nar.
-
The hillbilly is Ace! The Golden geckos seen rather huge.
-
I'd say they all look nice, but also oversized (hillbilly as well as geckos)
Ah well, that's the uncertainty of radiation and mutation for you. You never know what you'll end up with ;)
-
Fantastic project!! Love that Loc-Nar! :-* lol lol
-

They are, but I couldn't help it with the hillbilly, and I wanted to use the Monsterpocalypse figures somehow. I am only repainting the 'clear' special character ones - any others I am simply doing my special Fallout Shade wash on (I use it on all of the figures at some stage - it helps tie them all together, and it took me a year or two to get to the ratio I wanted (10 drops raw umber ink, 5 drops burnt sienna, 3 drops yellow ochre, 2 drops black, to 40 drops Magic Wash) and using them straight up. I just call them super-Geckos, and move on until someone gives me a better model option.
And no, I am not making Tarna, or Den, or even the dude with a rotary saw for a hand. Wrong kind of post-apoc for me.
Fun movie, though.
-
And so, with a paid day off and heat too high for us here in the Northwest of the US (it should be mid-80's, and we just extended our record period of days above 90 degrees by yet another day - bleh) I decided to jump on the diner bandwagon, and get it finished. Now, I don't know about all of you, but I found a way to sneak a live mine into Moriarty's pocket in every playthrough, just to help out Gob. He didn't deserve Moriarty's abuse, dammit.
So, I decided that he might get away somehow, and become a cook with a diner in, I dunno, Andale? Offer some new options? Or maybe reopen the one in Greyditch.

Damned right he gets his due.
I only have one real problem - anyone know where I can get a radio the right size and style of the game? Or am I going to have to make one of the bloody things?

Military? Or living room?

Thats ace there needs to be a butchers shack out back :D

Military? Or living room?
Living room - like this:

Although one of the HAM radios would be good as well.
Thats ace there needs to be a butchers shack out back :D
I am working on something like that, actually. As well as an impromptu merchants' tent, so that wandering merchants can set up as they come through for a day or so. You know, rather than stand there looking pretty until you walk up to them.
-
Maybe some doll house radios might work?
Oh I am guessing the diner is a plastic vil one right?
-
lol lol that's fantastic.
The story, the work on the diner, and Gob's smiley face. That's a cracking little set for a game. :-* Though I may stick to the Brahmin pie, and avoid the 'chicken'
Cheers

Well, if nothing else, the heat that keeps me from going out and doing yardwork is giving me plenty of time to make and paint stuff.
Welcome to the market!
First, I built some stalls from sprue and popsicle sticks.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/1352_06_07_15_5_52_56_0.JPG)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/1352_06_07_15_5_52_57_1.JPG)
And I dragged out an unfinished Built-Up Area for DBA that was lost when we quit the campaign, and with a little more work...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/1352_06_07_15_5_52_59_2.JPG)
And then outfitted the stalls.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/1352_06_07_15_5_52_59_3.JPG)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/1352_06_07_15_5_53_00_4.JPG)
And put them all together.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/1352_06_07_15_5_53_42_0.JPG)
And then slapped a bit of paint on it.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/1352_06_07_15_5_53_43_1.JPG)

The stalls can be pulled out - I did not glue them in so that I can use them separately from the compound.
-
You. Did that. In a day? :o
-
Wowzers, thats a cracking little set.
The junk on the tables, the speed of finishing the terrain, the rubbish and tires... FANTASTIC! 8) 8)
The little fence wont keep out the deathclaws though.. but perhaps it will keep the baby dragons in. Looks like the deathclaws have a new park for their babies to feed in. :D
-
Fantastic! Love the use of sprue in he stall construction.
-
Great job, yard work can wait if it helps you make great figures like that.
-
Yard work can wait any day that it is 80 degrees F before 10am. Blech. We have now had more 90 degree plus days already than we normally have in an entire summer - and they have been in a row. Oh, and we are having the driest 3 month stretch on record.
But yeah, a day's work - and I see the poky fence as more of a shoplifting barrier, and brahmin pen. I placed the tires, barrels and sandbags where they would provide instant cover in case of a raider assault. I also built some other pieces up, but they can wait for paint to take pictures of.
-
Well at least your getting stuff done. I set every thing out to get started and then lose motivation. Need to just get stuff done.
-
Wow, great execution on that market! I think it looks great. 8) Also totally stealing your sprue idea...I'm sure I have offcuts of around that size lying around and they look pretty perfectly sized. lol
-
That's great! :-*
-
Looks excellent. Did you just glue the dowel to the sprue or did you drill holes?
-

I drilled through them, so that the bamboo skewers would just slide in, and I could level it out.
Well at least your getting stuff done. I set every thing out to get started and then lose motivation. Need to just get stuff done.
Just pick up the brush and go. I find that playing the Fallout playlist I made helps immensely, as does playing FO3 or FONV for an hour or so before getting started.

And a few more people to wander about the wasteland.

Yeah, she would be better off in a South-based campaign.
And a girl with her dog. I think they turned away from the mininuke explosion in opposite directions, thus the eyepatches.

Bachmann/plasticville has an O-scale windmill.
Can't seem to copy paste a photo link on my tablet. Will do it when I get home.

What a great piece! Too bad the GW zombie heads are a little too large bu they do have great faces.
-
Yeah, my biggest disappointment was when I realized they were actually larger than the normal heads, but I become less restrictive on what fits with what over the years. Besides, they were tailor made to use for Ghoul conversions. :D

And does anyone know how tall an HO windmill is? I don't really want to do an 18" tall o-scale, but if the HO is just 6" tall, it would look weird...
-
How about this?

If you are just looking to power a fridge...

I am trying to find a good windmill model to add to this, to power the refrigerator. Any suggestions?
There's this one from Daemonscape…

At 10", it isn't too bloody tall, but we'll see when it gets here...

Looks to me like that's a perfect size for 28mm.

Looks good.

So, I continue doing more bits and bobs for my terrain collection.
The GW fancy walls set works remarkably well for an Enclave enclosure.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/1352_26_11_15_9_33_13_1.JPG)
And another CD piece - an OLD Armorcast ruined building. I have been trying to make corner pieces that look like the area may be occupied by scavengers, or as a war zone, so you are stashing things where you can for shelter.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/1352_26_11_15_9_33_17_3.JPG)
And I found an unused GW wall from the 3rd ed set - still some of the better little pieces they ever produced in my opinion.

And an alien plant from Armorcast, that was soooo old its resin had turned a deep mustard yellow...I actually have two pieces together, with some rocks to break it up a bit.

Nothing spectacular, but I just keep plugging along. The tendonitis in my elbow makes these things a lot more difficult than it should - can't paint with shooting pains and numb fingers. :?

Damn, that sounds horrible. :(
-
Yeah, it can be. The physical therapists couldn't do anything, and I have not been able to get in to see the specialist my doc recommended. Years of repetitive labor preceded by years of swinging a sword has taken its toll. Puts a crimp in my favorite hobby at times.
But nevermind, look at the pretty terrain pieces! :D
-
A bit late, but just saw this announcement from 4ground re a windmill :

Huh - I may have to save that link for later when I need another one. Thanks!
-
And, so, we continue with terrain that is probably older than a third of the posters on LAF...
Old Armorcast Venus Mantrap...

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/1352_28_11_15_11_44_50_1.JPG)
And Friday's postman brought me an early Christmas present. I thought that the windmill was going to be a kit, and I was wrong. It comes completely assembled, with no loose parts. Love that!
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/1352_28_11_15_11_44_52_2.JPG)
And it was just not wasteland ready, so...

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/1352_28_11_15_11_46_01_2.JPG)
I added a few bits - radio, lamp, can of fuel, barrel of whoknowswhat, just too keep it visually interesting.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/1352_28_11_15_11_46_02_3.JPG)
And now, back to the Grymn, a few survivors, and other projects as well...
-
Wow, that windmill is looking really nice! 8) Are the desks on those of those corner ruins scratchbuilt?
-
Nah - they are recasts of the desk from the old heroclix indoor adventure set - I made a quick mold of that one so I could get more when I found that Ebay wanted an average of $40 bucks for the set. That would be an old computer bank, a bookshelf, a desk, and a coke machine...for $40 dollars.
So I recast the soda machines and the desks for my use, because, well, reasons.

Then you should send them to me so I can double check that I have the casts right...yeah, that's the ticket.

Oh, and thanks on the windmill. I am happy with it. I might mount it to a base and add a generator, but I am not sure I want it tied to post apoc that thoroughly. As it stands, I could add it to a VSF settlement as well - the radio and gas can would be anachronistic, but not stand out as much as a big power generator.
-
Looking great!
-
And few more figures I just finished last night...
A new Vault Dweller...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/1352_01_12_15_3_51_55_0.JPG)
And a figure I decided to use for that most irritating and outright bloody horrifying of Broken Steel baddies, the Ghoul Reaver. I have no idea what this is, but he was in my figures bin.

And a generator to use with my windmill, or anywhere else for that matter.

-
Awesome additions.
That ghoul reaver is one badass MF. I like him a lot.
-
Yeah, once I threw the shoulder pads and plates on him, I felt he gave the appropriate feel of "RUN!"
I *hate* that add-on. Is any creature more trouble for the gift of, oh, a harmonica or 2 bottle caps?
-
Very cool Additions! The Ghoul Reaver is soooo great. So sad you don`t remember where that miniature is from!
-
Looks great. I think the reaver is a Ghoul King vampire from GW, it is part of the zombie dragon/terrorgeist kit I believe.
-
You are right it is. But unfortunatly there hangs this ugly wyrm at my Ghoul reaver which makes him very expensive :-(
-
Huh, so that where I got him. I built the terrorgheist kit when it came out for my Vampirates, but never put a rider on him.
-
Never mind I shoot the beauty a few minutes ago as single second hand mini on ebay for a few bugs! Great find thx!
-
That windmill looks to be about the same size as the Ertl one. I think I have a few of them kicking around here some where.
-
Awesome stuff, but I have to know, where does the eyepatch vault girl come from?
-
Great stuff!
Where did you get the refrigerator? Looks like it would be a good base for a Fallout 4 Nuka-Cola machine conversion.
-

That's Minerva, from Statuesque Miniatures in the UK:
http://www.statuesqueminiatures.co.uk/p/8930402/pa002-captain-wolf-and-minerva.html
Or from Pulp Alley in the US:

No idea - I've never seen an Ertl one. This is about 10" tall, though.

As was said above, it is from Pulp Alley Miniatures/Statuesque. She seemed Vault-y to me.
Great stuff!

I sculpted it. Both the refrigerator and the oven you see in all my Fallout terrain are casts of sculpts I did (with some moderate success) because I could not find anything even close that was already available. I also sculpted the cash registers I use. If you want some, PM me. I could cast them for reasonable costs.

I would probably be interested. :)
-
I would love them, but I'm assuming US > Old World shipping would cripple any deal :'(
-
Toss me a PM with an address, and I'll look into it. I can't see charging more than maybe a $1 per piece - I am hardly a professional.
-
Give me a few days on the requests - my resin has gone bad. >:(
-
And a girl with her dog. I think they turned away from the mininuke explosion in opposite directions, thus the eyepatches.

Holy friholy! Has it really been a full year since I last posted post-apoc stuff?
Well, because of the orchards you can build in Fallout 4, I made a couple of small pieces.
Gob grows his own mutfruit!

I recently came into a large set of old, beat to hell trees from a local game store that closed, that were an odd scale, and thought I would try to make them into small CD based orchards for interesting terrain.
-
Nice work on the trees! Basing terrain on CDs is certainly something I wouldn't have thought of and now I'll have to have a crack at it.
-
Haha, that's cool! Haven't played Fallout 4 yet (need...a...new...pc...) but it sure fits in with the sillyness of Fallout. Gob is ace too.
-
And I finally found a car I like well enough to use for all the little economy boxes you find around Boston. I wish I could find a 3 wheeler, but these do nicely, and I can use them for something else more futuristic later as well.
I believe they are actually meant for Infinity games, but so what?
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_16_12_16_10_08_33.jpg)
-
Good job. I saw those online the other day while looking for something else and my first thought was they look like the little cars in fallout 4 guess I wasn't the only one :)
-
Nice work on the trees! Basing terrain on CDs is certainly something I wouldn't have thought of and now I'll have to have a crack at it.
CDs are fantastic as bases - it is nigh impossible to make them warp (although I've seen it done with a ton of paper-mache).

Sooooo, about 4 months ago I found a seller on Ebay who was doing 3D printed post-apocalyptic terrain and I was unsuccessful in getting any of them, even though they were inevitably going for just over the asked for minimum bid. He put out a new set that was essentially a "town square" set, and I thought it looked okay in the photos, so I bid, and $45 later (with free shipping) I received a 10 complete piece set that I was mildly disappointed in. Granted, at $5 a 'stall', it isn't bad. This is them with a black undercoat and misting of white primer to give a better idea of how the detailing was going to look. There is a fishmonger, blacksmith, weapons dealer, potter, fruit seller, gallows, stocks, well, apothecary's wagon, fortune teller, and a toolshop.

He didn't spend much time on clean up, and the in person detail was less than appealing. For the cost, I am not sore, but I would have hoped for a bit more detail, and less strands. The 3D printes can probably tell me what he was doing, but I don't know, so...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_30_12_16_4_44_16_2.jpg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_30_12_16_4_44_16_3.jpg)
This is compared to a set of Tabletop World pieces I bought at the same time - I had a commission check burning in my bank account.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_30_12_16_4_44_16_4.jpg)
So, while I thought about it, I painted up a bunch of jersey barriers I gotten in another auction. I am 90% certain they were recasts, but they part of a job lot that someone was just trying to ditch.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_30_12_16_4_45_52_0.jpg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_30_12_16_4_45_52_1.jpg)
Whew! Picture heavy - need a new post!
-
And now on to the rest of it.
So, each of those stalls had a roof, that I agonized over, because they all looked the same. This one has a signboard attached, and I wasn't real happy about the look.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_30_12_16_4_45_52_2.jpg)
So I painted another Cape Cod cottage.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_30_12_16_4_45_52_3.jpg)
From here on out, all pictures will have a Leia figure for scale. For obvious reasons. Damned 2016 - not enough to take my Prince, and my Goblin King, but now my Princess as well?
So, after much thought, I went crazy. Did green stuff casts of some of the Tabletop pieces for fruit and fish, dremeled out the not-so-great details, because the stalls themselves looked fine, and POOF! Magic happened.
The Gallows is still a touch short, but (shrug).
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_30_12_16_4_45_52_4.jpg)
The stocks are a touch large, on the other hand, but I left it removable, because I do have a few 'witch' and slave figures in stocks or on posts that I can set up there.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_30_12_16_4_46_39_0.jpg)

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_30_12_16_4_46_39_2.jpg)
Here is a dumpster and stack of crates I also threw in - was with the joblot with the barriers.

And just to draw out the suspense, I painted those Tabletop World pieces. These I was overjoyed with. Detailed, clean casts, beautiful stuff.

The well...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_30_12_16_4_49_47_3.jpg)
And the final, everything but the house and barriers group shot. That's how I spend a Christmas weekend when my wife tells me there is no 'honey-do' list because it is Christmas, and I helped get everything together for the family dinner without being asked to...after 20+ years, I figured out how to game the system. :D
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_30_12_16_4_49_47_4.jpg)
All in all, I was mildly disappointed in the product, but I think my end version works well. The cloth covers 'cover' up a lot of ills on the roofs, and once I added beads, castings of fish and other stuff, I won't be embarrassed to put this on the table. I am considering using all of this with my Holocostco to make a trading hub for a Pulp Alley game Should look really good.
-
Impressive variety, looks like a thriving economy!
-
It certainly seems so - once I combine this with what I had made for the caravan stop and my Holocostco, I think I am going to try and run a feral ghoul invasion, or a maybe a Reaver, um, Raider attack on a settlement.
-
Your new stuff looks good Neil.
On the table with all your other things,
they will blend right in.
-
Nice work all round buddy :-*
Though I am really envious of the amount of hobby time you've managed to get in over the festive period. I've barely managed to paint 5 minis since Christmas day, and I'm a fast painter :'(
Keep up the good and super productive work, I look forward to seeing more of your stuff

So, a few things I finished up while I was waiting eagerly for the legal start to the Build Something contest...
First, a "scrap heap" model from armorcast, with a few added bobs. I got it used, and I am pretty sure that there are pieces broekn off or filled in with sand on here, but what the hell...so I added a poorly cast motorcycle, and lots of rust pigment powder.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_08_01_17_5_16_02_1.jpg)
And a couple more cars from the Antenociti's Infinity stuff. I don't like these nearly as well, but they were part of a deal.

So, my wife was at Michael's Crafts, and she sent me a photo of a trailer she saw, that she thought might work for terrain (best wife ever). So, out of curiosity, I wandered down there with a figure in my pocket, and found this. Ran about $13, has a light in it (which I promptly removed for another project) and I suspect I may get a few more with the ubiquitous 40% off coupons Michael's hands out.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_12_01_17_11_11_09_1.jpg)
So, for the first one, all I did was use my standard weathering/shading wash for Fallout stuff, and it looks like this.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_12_01_17_11_11_09_2.jpg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_12_01_17_11_11_09_3.jpg)
I could weather it a bit more, easily enough, or repaint it, but for a simple almost ready piece, it is worth the money. It is part of their new line of stuff meant for indoor 'faerie gardens' and such. I found it across from the flower section.
-
This isn't really a post-apo kind of vehicle, but since I can't seem to find a Vertibird model, or make one that I don't smash in frustration, I picked up a "Planes" heli that was on sale for $10 bones at a local store, and gave it a quick repaint.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_13_01_17_1_40_20_0.jpg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/26/1352_13_01_17_1_40_20_1.jpg)
It is just a touch small, but I think it works well enough as a plot point or such. Especially if I decide on some zombie action at some point.
-
This is a fantastic thread! :o I'm very glad to have come across it just as I started getting back into Post-apoc.
-
Don't forget to look at my first thread, noted at the beginning of this one, just to toot my own trumpet...
-
Lovin' that trailer. Great find. And as I'm catching up, the finished market is superb.
-
Just seen this thread...love it! :-*
-
Neat stuff all around! Your pictures as a guide the 3D prints didn't look too bad. They definitely looked as though they were intended for a fantasy setting rather than the PA repurpose you pulled off. Nice result; I think they will grow on you.

I hope so - I think I need to do a big ass trading post game soon, with all of my various 'shops' and 'carts'.
And my latest build - I guess I am too into the settlement system in FO4, cause now I am building things I do there as a regular occurrence.
Who doesn't love orchards?

So, I used some HO scale fruit trees, and then some "grass" off a mat I found in the bargain bin at Michael's. I tend to plant a lot of razorgrain as well as mutfruit, for its use as brahmin bait. I have a few left, and may just create another smaller orchard as well. I wanted to make it look like the settlers were watering the trees regularly, so I added ink to darken those areas.

Fantastic. Your tabletop has to look pretty damn impressive, with this all laid out!

I will say that I am not embarrassed to put a game on it.
And my latest addition - I found a cheezy little motorcycle in the $1 section of the local mart, and found that the orc legs I had in my bitz box worked great, and then the body, and a crypt ghoul head, and now I have Fratelli, the traveling Ghoul tinker, on his prized touring bike.

He may not be pretty, but no-one turns away his technical expertise when they realize he has kept that bike running for 200 years...

Sort of like Rudolph the Reindeer, ridicule him until you realize he can provide something you need ;)
I like him, cool concept and seems to go together with the bike quite well.

Now, I will admit, I use the ad-hoc wear what you can find attitude of the post-apoc world as an excuse to paint all kinds of figures, base them the same, and multipurpose the hell out of them. These guys can go into BoB, post-apoc, Pulp, WWW2...Mostly Pulp Figures, but I have no idea where I got the Captain from.
And thus, the crew of the Carp, my riverboat.

Your repaint of the trailer took it from questionable to fantastic! Weathering looks great and now it doesn't look like a dwelling for happy go lucky garden gnomes :) . The riverboat crew is looking good as well..Are they stuck ashore or is there a riverboat in their future :) ?

Got this for them...built it the same way - to use for multiple periods. Boats just don't change that much when they aren't military...
It was in use in my just-posted AAR...check the far right of the photo.

So, recently I combined an order with a pal of mine, for whom I paint terrain in exchange for monetary compensation, for a lot of Sarissa Precision buildings. I owe him about 8 hours of painting at the moment, as between Bolt Action and Fallout, I have a need of ruined bombed out buildings.
But first, I did a couple of their North American cabins.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/27/1352_07_02_17_5_12_19_0.jpg)

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/27/1352_07_02_17_5_12_19_3.jpg)
I learned some major things here - one, these are REALLY easy to build. I built the 13 houses I had ordered in less than an afternoon. Well planned by Sarissa.
I also had to modify my usual painting style to use for these. The detail is not as deep as plasticville or gw plastics, so you have to modify your drybrushing and washes to work.
And most irritatingly, there is nothing that is helpful on the net (that I could find) that tells me what colors might have been used on homes like this in the trun of the century. I wanted to paint them in such a way that they could be used for VSF, Western, Pulp, WW2, or Fallout. Is there anything on what colors might be used in America at the turn of the century? F*** no. You're on your own, maggots.
Grumble.

The US Library of Congress has some photo collections on-line. There may be some help in this one - although it is 1939-44, so the period might be a little late :?

Fascinating photographs.
Nice buildings, Sarissa do seem to know what they are doing.

The choice of colors varies widely from one area of the country to another. In some areas the still painted building in the kind of bright colors used in the Victorian period, others were more into a more modern & subdued. In some areas anything other than a good whitewash was thought to be over the top.
-
Nice work, interesting to hear how well the Sarissa buildings go together. Food for thought once I've got my Knights of Dice stuff finished.
-
Sinewgrab, I've got good results with mdf buildings by scoring and carving the boards with a modelling knife in order to get a more textured effect - time consuming but nice.
This picture is of a historically-accurate 1:43 diorama of Nenana Town, Alaska, at the mid 20s; as you can see, most sand coloured and light woods colours on the buildings:

The guys at the Pioneer Park Museum are professionals with access to lots of old photographs and actual buildings; I like to think that they must know what they're doing! :)

So I picked up some more of those adorable little cars from Infinity, and threw a bit more colors on them.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/27/1352_06_03_17_5_57_05_0.jpg)
And I added more crew to the Carp.

So, I have been taking my 40% off coupons to the local Michael's, and that has allowed me to get a few more trailers. Thye nromally run $13, but I feel that is a bit steep. $8 though - I can live with that...
So, this started happening...

But I got distracted, and went away from this project for a few days (painting GIs for a WW2 game, actually, but I came back to it. Unfortunately, I completely forgot to take any more progress photos...

I also finished up another little piece of terrain that I had half-done - a bunch of eggpods that I had glued down but not painted. Who knows what they might be?

Been a good weekend for getting things painted and done.. With these two and the other one I already had, I got me a little trailer park going on...
-
Inspiring scenery!
-
Very nice.
Where did you get the chairs?
-
I got them in an Ebay buy that I kind of regretted when it came in, because I am 90% certain that all of the stuff was recasts - all of it was the same grey resin, fair amount of bubbles, etc. It was a large lot buy of primered pieces that are from, as far as I can tell, at least three companies. Armorcast, Ainsty, Pardulon, and some I could not ID. I found them later, but I don't remember exactly where the chair and sofa came from.
I may have recast some things I have gotten over the years for large projects and personal use as it was more affordable in the long run versus paying shipping costs, but selling them on Ebay doesn't sit well with me.
-
Very nice.
Where did you get the chairs?
I think the sofas and chairs are definitely Pardulon. Just had them cast, so I'll have some at Salute and then they'll be in the webstore from 01 May.
-
The last pictures looks like a Reaper Arms Locker. Just got mine back from a painter friend.
-
Love that trailer, well done.
-

I will add them to my list (volume six...).
-
Lovely trailer! :-*
Would be awesome with the old Plasticville Trailer Park Set! ;)
-
And two more! They were on sale for buy one, get one 50% off...and the clerk let me use my 40% off coupon on the one that was full price. :D

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/28/1352_18_04_17_5_30_44_1.jpg)
I didn't base these, so that I can put them between the ones I did base, and tried to just reinforce one side, the way I imagine someone would who was really trying to keep the 'enemy' out.
-
Circle the wagons! 8) :-*
-
Exactly, sir.
;)
-
Just love these trailers - they are wonderful.
-
And, so, I needed a small hangar for another project, and since that would be a cool place to have for various reasons, I built one. I felt the Plasticville/Bachman ones were too small, and didn't feel like they were large enough...
I am definitively planning on building an interior later, but for now I just have the outer shell done.

-
Very nice. What did you make it from?
-
1/2" gatorfoam, a piece of pink insulation I sanded down to match the curve for the top, and various pieces left from a large number of MDF buildings I have been making.
-
Love it Neil.
How big is it?
-
About 12" x 12" x 6" tall - not huge, but bigger than the Plasticville.
-
And another flavor piece - trying to make a nice eating area to have near one of the food 'carts'.

I liked the way it came out, and I even left a little room for figures to stand. I got a couple of orders of ultra cheap O scale furniture from a Chinese ebay seller, and it goes well with the lead tables and chairs from a Western set I picked up at a Bring&Buy.
-
Very good.
-
Holy cow! I haven't posted anything post-apo for this long?
Well, these little beauties will also be used for crossover with Bolt Action, just like all of my Sarissa buildings. Destroyed European buildings look a little bit like Boston...curious that.
So, what I was frustrated with was interiors. Who doesn't love an interior, but gets frustrated with the fact that it is the same damned one every time, and that might keep you from say, transplanting that building into another game? So, my solution was - make little add-ins, you can pull and change. I made a bunch of irregular shape baes, and started adding stuff. Some of these have a little paint on them already.

I think they are coming along nicely. I am going to do a few for outside as well, as evidenced by the barrels set.
-
Those 'drop-in' interiors are great.
Wonderful idea really well realised!
-
OH, that is a clever idea. Added to the bag'o'tricks! :-*
-
Ohh.. That is very clever. I am going to instantly steal that.

Crikey. The Princess has gone down market.
That's a really good idea, well executed.

Really like that insert idea, might have to steal it... ;) lol
-
Yep, me too. Consider that a great idea firmly stolen.
-
Considering how often I have "borrowed" ideas from LAF, I feel honored that so many of you feel that way.
And I am planning on using that model in any fashion I can devise for the entire year, for, well, reasons.
She led my Bolt Action Partisans the other day - who I have started painting overwhelmingly in the blue, dark blue and tan color scheme from the first film...

Wow, I had no idea I hadn't posted in this long.
Well, a couple of new items here...
A lasercut building - 3mm material, rather than the 2mm Sarissa uses. Bit beefier, new company here in the States called Lasercraft (I think) - local game store gets his stuff.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/31/1352-240218173358-314851735.jpeg)
Nothing special, but worth getting. He needs to work on his price point though - I pointed out that it is about 15% higher price than Sarissa or TT Combat for a similar size building, so he will lose out as soon as someone gets to the level of free shipping online.
And a sorta crosspost here - an Ainsty river launch. Love this model.

So, the last week has been pretty busy. I am getting ready for a convention in May (Enfilade!) and am running three games of Pulp Alley as a serial all day Saturday. These are figures I am planning on using.
Mr Handy - I used a gear for the saw blade, and an old 40K hand flamer.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/31/1352-250218003636-31489505.jpeg)
I also added a flame to him, and a Mr Gutsy I had painted earlier. It is a torch flame from either Lego or MegaBloks - not sure which, but I have a bunch of them, and they work really well to cover up the post holding the figure up.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/31/1352-250218003637-314901607.jpeg)

Been a busy little boy lately. Almost ready - but building 7 leagues to use is no small amount of work.

Stunning paint and very cool miniatures. If I wasn’t here studying all of everyone’s master works I might get some of my lead pile painted.... ha!
-
Nice set of figures.
-
Stunning seems a bit strong - I am no Capt Blood, Benbow, or Michi, but I am not disappointed in how they came.
No matter what else I have going though, all roads lead back to Post-apoc or Pirates somehow. :)

And you shouldn´t be disappointed indeed! They are very well painted - you shaded them and even did eyes and all. Nothing to hide at all! I admit that I have three of your latest too... ;)

Seeing those BV figures makes me regret not ordering from his nuclear sandlot range before the hammer dropped. The vibrant blues of the reaper vault dweller came out fantastic.

Lovely additions. Really like the LA Tintin in Vault colours suits him.

And the last models I needed to finish for my Enfilade Fallout Alley game finally came from BV (4 months! Gahh!), so I have been a-painting.
A quick piece I got from a random Ebay seller (who I suspect makes these himself).

Well, if they do come to a show near you, when they visited Impact recently they had a miscast box of parts at 1 euro per part. Could be useful?

I might send him an email, and see if I can get a selection...

I just read through your whole thread and it might be just what I need to motivate me to get back to painting and modeling.
Thanks for the great work.....I can feel my 15mm PA and Scifi calling.
