Fallout: Vaultventures - A Postapoc Boardgame - (Preview Vault Entrance p.54)

Hi Guys

My Filament eating Assistant works atm. on some stuff and I got the hands free for some experiments. The Plus modell side was very inspireing! I`m hooked by this metalcans but to chintzy to buy the precutted cans for that money!

What happened.... I did it myyyyyyyyy way^^

TUTORIAL 04: Making Metalcans, Cheap and easy

Material: Scissors, Hammer, Riffled object, thin Metalsheat, hole puncher, Round stick, Clue.

Step01: Cut a Metalstripe, round about 4 - 6mm broad.



Step02: Wrap the Metalstripe around a wooden or metal stick. In my Case I use the Handle of my Minifile. For 28mm Standard, the Diameter should be round about 3mm



Step03: Let overlap the metal a bit and cut of the excess Metal, to have a round tubing. Use the riffled Object (In my case an old Aluminumcap) and carv in some riffles in the metaltube all around. The riffles fixing the tube itself really well, so no clue is needed in this step to hold everything together!



Step04: Cut away excess metal, to have a nice crisp tube with leveled Edges.



Step05: Use a hole puncher 3-4mm diameter and punch out 2 Metaldisks from your Metalsheat. They come out bended, flat them on your cutting mat, otherwise their diameter wouldn`t fit the tubing!




Step06: Clue in the two metaldisks in the open Ends of the Tube. Bring everything a bit in shape. If you want make some bumps in the can.



FINISH. All together it took me not longer then 3 min to make this can and costs nothing.

Another great and easy tip. Now, where can I get thin metalstrip from? Tomato ketchup thingies?

Energie Drink Can ;-)

Its Aluminium, Thin and good to cut with the scissors. Remove Bottom and Top and make one Cut through the middle. Out of one Can you can make dozens of tiny cans^^

Thats recycling at its best

Good Morning!

While Zizzi hardly struggle not to touch himself im public to reach his geekgasm   all others can take a look on the first half of the Bushull in 28mm scale. I´ve made a picture of the raw print, to show thats not that piece of cake to print the Gamefiles, because the meshes are still not really printerfriendly at all. A lot of Afterwork will follow to make this thing presentable!

Sweet!

A wreck is a wreck, but aye, you could bring that up to a basic standard easily enough with a bit of textured plasticard, a few added poles and a mess of bits at the cut off end. Did you widen it to allow for models to stand in the inside as well, and would that space be large enough once the benches are added?

[DELTADOG]

Yes its all messured well. Miniatures can stand in the middle, the roof is removeable to have access to the inside and its still space for the benches!

News Bulletin on GNR: BoS Squad makes Joyride in Prewar Bus.




The "tiny" little Tubesmurf has a total length of 28cm and chewed on my nervs.

I´ve to admit I´m really disappointed about the results of the prints. My expactations where much higher and in this state its not more then a base to work on for a complete Surface overhaul.
The tail is much better printed compared to the front and the total amount of work which waits on me is to much to bring it forward as a sideproject atm imo. So it will goes it way in the box of neverended dreams and and has to Wait there till I´ve the time an courage to bring it up to the quality I want to have it.

The second picture shows a direct size and Quality comparision between the Bus and the Truck and I´ve to say, the Truck war really solid in its printresult.

To be honest the Bus and Truck were just Tests to make some experiences with the 3D Models from FO4, to know the weak spots on them for the Vaultrelated objects.
Unfortunatly it will not become that easy I´ve hoped on.

I would be more than happy to jump on the grenade of fixing that up for a table...especially in two halves, because, maybe it is just me, but I have never met a bus or car I wasn't willing to pump ammo into for the pretty boom.

[Anpu]

Hah I must say I agree with you Sinewgrab I would love to fix it up for the table. The truck even more so.

[DELTADOG]

I will NOT make a MOld of that Monster!
For printfiles or Comissioned prints PM me for Details.

[Anpu]

I did not expect you to make a mold but you may get a pm later.
