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
Yeah Super Weapon Armor Technology that's what it means. The robots are fantastic!

Um, sure, yeah, that can be what it means...  ;D

So I am just blasting through these guys on my impromptu vacation - have to, as I will be going back to work on the 1st!

Finished another fellow I repainted to be a Lakelurk.



And another Brotherhood of Steel from Vinni.  These models are spectacular.



And comparison shots for all of you who are wondering how big they are...




Some scale peeps may get bugged out by the size differences, but I am not one of them. On the table they go!

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  ;)

Bloody right you are. It's not like as if we're all the same heigth.

The BoS came up a treat! It'd make sense that they're bigger anyways. Thick soles and all that...

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)



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...



And I started putting bits and bobs on the walls.







Is this 101?  Let's explore...











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.

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!
