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.

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!

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?

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.

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.

Sinewgrab · « **Reply #159 on:** April 17, 2015, 11:20:54 PM »

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!

SerialMoM · « **Reply #161 on:** May 13, 2015, 09:09:00 PM »

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...

This one broke up when I was waterlining them, so it gets to tilt as a wreck.

And a scale shot for y'all.

And another building, that I may need to post in my VSF thread as well, but it would work in New Vegas...

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.
