I hate to resurrect this thread, but it seemed to be the logical spot for such a post. I have been busy creating stuff for my local Fallout RPG and created some brain bots that I thought I would share here.
First the parts
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-X21IzgMJcmw/TlVAmYV0m-I/AAAAAAAABN8/8HhS4_Vy_r0/s400/01-Parts.JPG)
So the parts list is the Star Wars Assassin droid from which we are getting the treads and then from beneath its chin, that element is used behind the head of the droid (see painted figure to see where this goes). -Purchased from Ebay
The body and arms come from Rattrap Productions Robot Type II
And the brain case comes from a Craftstore that sells Carbochon (half-dome) beads. I got mine from the local Michaels.
Then after prep - notice all the pinning (body to track, arms to body) and scoring of the materials (arms to body and bead to head).

Then after assembly

Then prepainting

Cool. Excellent job.

nice
too bad the thread died in the first place.

So some buddies wanted me to pull out all my Fallout Terrain for a quick show and tell (they are just now getting to playing Fallout 3) and one of them is a really good photographer and wanted to test his Macro Lens.
So long story short, here are some pictures of some of the terrain and figures I have for my Fallout collection.

Oh man, that's just fantastic! I'm so jealous :-*

Interesting. That's a vault-load you got running around in their jumpers.
-
Nice stuff. I had the same ideas for cars. Love the Red Rocket!

Any chance of close ups of the vault dwellers?

I don't have the really good macro lens but here is what I can give you with my camera.
The men are from the KKBB line of guards. Good weapon selection and they look like they are in jump suits.

One complaint from one of my friends was that I was missing the Pulowski Preservation Systems fallout shelter. So after spending some quality time at the one in Grayditch, I came up with the following:
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-H0szDGofUPA/TlVCnjX6SzI/AAAAAAAABOQ/UW5Q_tevtnc/s800/sheltercombo.jpg)
While it is a little off in scale (the top part is about twice the size it should be), I was being a bit lazy and didn't feel like cutting it down. Instead, I took it directly as I found it in the local hardware store and in doing so, I was able to paint all that text on there.
Now one note, I first found the cold water PVC in our store and the caps were like domes. It took a little bit of searching to find the Hot and Cold water PVC which have the flat top.
So I hope this has inspired some more Fallout Terrain discussions. I am really looking for ideas on how to make the sewers and train tunnels that were so prevalent in Fallout 3 and still make them usable for miniature games.

No way on the terrain man, i wanna see better pics of the mutant off to the right.
Ok fine, i like the terrain as well. :-)
But seriously, what makes the terrain out of scale? It is terrain and non-descipt terrain at that. Who is to say how big that piece would be IRL to then convert to 28mmish? Just an observation. :-)

Love your Pulowski! It's great seeing my favorite landmarks (so many books in them!) as scenery.
For the grates and pipes, you could use Evil Mushroom's grate exit as a guideline:

I really like all this stuff but I fear I am on the of a group trying to understand the conversation
Pulowski ?
Sort of get the gist of the game but all these specifics o_o

@dodge:

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Pulowski_Preservation_Shelters
So basically a one-man nuke shelter. Total nonsense and utter hilarious of course :D. In the game you can find these things in a lot of places and if you open them you often find skeletons with lots of nice items, weapons and ammo.

i have been looking for a thread on a forum like this since i discovered fallout warfare (roughly when fallout 3 was announced on NMA)
Anyway, to my point.
i keep buying figures that suit the feel of the fallout setting, but i cant find any decent "Robbie the robot" style figures in the right scale.
any one have any ideas where i could get my hands on some (prefferably within europe/uk)?
also, i hit up on a brilliant idea just after i started hoarding minis for my own fallout warbands project.
using bottlecaps for the bases of the standard size mini's. it really adds to the feel and theme of the game (i use the ones from the glass bottles of coke, but i also have a few beer ones i have painted up as nuka cola caps before using as bases)

A very cool retro robot. It's appeared in all sorts of TV shows and films.
"Google" Robbie the Robot, there's loads of stuff.

Argonor, the Robbie the Robot reference is due to the fact that despite being set in the future, Fallout has a very 1950s retro vibe to it. The Robots in it are straight from 50s Sci-Fi, and the Protrectron from the game owes more than a little of its look to Robbie:
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/Protectron.jpg)
(That's my character shooting at one, about five minutes ago.)
Robbie the Robot was originally from the movie "Forbidden Planet" and really is the archetype for retro robots.

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Protectron
i love the retro look of it, i was half expecting them to include a "the day the earth stood still" Reference into the fallout games http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_Earth_Stood_Still_(1951_film)
i could do with some lost in space style robots as well to convert into robobrains
http://www.lostinspacerobot.com/
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Robobrain
-
it would probably help if i said the scale im looking for is 28mm or heroic 25mm.
im not sure what that equates to in 1/xxxth scale.
oh, and hydra miniatures do some brilliant fallout tactics style hoverbots
http://shop.hydraminiatures.com/index.php?cPath=2_31
-
For all kinds of retro robots:
Pulp Figures
Rattrap Productions
Brigade Games
Killer B
And, of course, as already stated, Hydra Miniatures.
I don't think I've seen a Robbie-style one - but you may be able to make one by combining parts from different ones?
-
the robots from pulp miniatures, have brilliant legs and arms for it, with the body from "robot type II" from rattrap, then all i need do is find a suitable head and i'm laughing.
it may be a job for green stuff.
Thanks.
EDIT: there is an upcoming VIR 7 Robot from killer b that has the perfect head. and his body would make a fantastic brain bot.
-
Thinking about retro robots, I hadn't realised it before, but the robo-brain/brainbot (whatever you call it) owes much to the robot from 'Lost in Space', albeit a kind of squashed version of the design.
Except the robot from Lost in Space didn't have a brain in its clear casing. Nor that sexy lady voice that Herbert "Daring" Dashwood got all excited about.

yep, and Vault boy (see my avatar) owes much of his design to mr moneybags, the monopoly man.

Further my idea of basing my minis on bottlecaps, this guy is my test mini (sorry for lazy paint job, he is only representing a slaver)

the figure itself is one of the OOP GW imperial guard figures.
-
yep, and Vault boy (see my avatar) owes much of his design to mr moneybags, the monopoly man.
Mostly, him and the Pip Boy owe their existence more so to the standard 50's mascots. Though I can see where you're coming from.
And how are we supposed to spend our bottle caps if there is lead stuck to 'em? Speaking of caps, you prolly don't want to see the collection I started back in the 90's lol .

they do make such good bases though.
is it just a collection for collection sake? or are you hoping to become a post apocalyptic millionaire? :D ;D

A little from column A, a little from column B lol . Usually is a nice addition to a Halloween costume though. Klink-klink and all that. If the world goes to heck, Canada and Australia will be left untouched... Unless a certain country plans to annex.
-
hmmmm, Cap mail shirt.
now there's an idea.
-
Well I was thinking more of a big leather sack that goes clink to accompany the costume (and collect dust in my underground abode).
-
Very nice stuff on this thread. I just started playing fallout about a week ago and I am HOOKED!
I will probably start making some figs for my own fallout games :)
I'm thinking Warzone bauhaus guys from the big bag of minis for some BoS and the rest im not sure yet :)
tempted to use 40k orks as super mutants..I dont know.
-
What was the original Fallout like? I was a huge fan of Baldur's Gate, it came out at just the right time for me; I'd started playing BG and then moved onto D&D. Ahh those where the days :D.
Also is the new Fallout a MMORPG?

The Kinder Surprise stuff is available in Canada, but not in the US, probably to avoid lawsuits from kids eating the eggs whole and choking on the capsules.
You can find these here in the USA. You just have to go to import or specialty stores. I find them out here on the left coast. I had a girlfreind that grew up an army brat in Germany and really likes those things.

im using Ogryns, the 40k ork's just don't have the bulk of super mutants, i have a plastic giant that may become a super mutant behemoth at some point too.
Also is the new Fallout a MMORPG?
Fallout: new Vegas (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Portal:Fallout:_New_Vegas) (the next one) is built on the same engine as FO3 so its likely to be more of the same.
there is Also an mmo project allegedly in the works called Project V13 (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Portal:Project_V13) that is supposedly the MMO, but this is still unannounced officially.
(http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg241/Renfield286/Miniatures/DSCN3551.jpg)
this is the first of my painted vault dwellers, she is a hasslefree "zombie hunter" painted with a jumpsuit.
(http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg241/Renfield286/Miniatures/DSCN3548.jpg)
and some of the group of tribals, waste landers and mercs that will accompany her.
-
Mounted on Bottle Caps?! That is just brilliant sir! I really love that. It is ultimate Fallouty.
For me, one of the best miniatures for Fallout is the Rogue Scavenger from Grenadier/Mirliton/EM4:
(http://www.mirliton.it/images/catalog/CW1519.jpg)
He is perfect as a lone wanderer. He has lots of goodies he carries around, looks like a wasteland survivor and his Assault Rifle makes an excellent Infiltrator/Perforator if you add a silencer.
-
Thank you kindly.
i thought that bottle caps would make nice, appropriate and cheap bases.
im not a huge fan of em4 genrally. but their scavengers are pretty cool, but i would prefer to put them with a couple of pack bhramin and a couple of merc body guards and call them traders.;)
there are some mad scientist type henchmen in boiler suits i found online the other day who i thought would make perfect vault dwellers, and i cant remember who they are by or where i found them.
the atomic cafe 1957 stuff that brigade do make good waste landers.
and there are a couple of the steampunky types i picked up from privateer press that are going to be used as mad scientist types.

What was the original Fallout like?
I got a recently released DVD with Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics. The original games were 2D isometric view type games. The combat system is turn based on a small hex grid using action points to determine how much you can do in a turn. (I guess like x-com, though I never got to play that.) If I remember right the stats and skills were based on Gurps. Everything is based on percentile skills adjusted by your stats and any difficulty like range and such. Though having 100% in skill doesn't guarantee anything as I think skills can go to 300%. :)
The first two (I'm playing through the second now) are pretty brutal as there's a good chance that any random encounter can outmatch you. Especially since alot of enemies use automatic weapons. Though they'll just as often run up and punch you while holding a rocket launcher or something. :)
The first game is very combat oriented and there is such a thing as a perfect build for a character as very few skills actually matter. Being about halfway through the second one, it's almost like the first game is a 10 hour demo for the sequel. Though the first one is very much recommended. There's so much more scope for character building, though the beginning has a combat oriented initiation trial that will kick many character's asses.
There's any number of sidequests and lot's of character interaction. However a lot of dialogue options depend on skill and stat numbers. There's a whole bunch of stuff you might never see without certain stats or skills set up high. Like being able to talk the big bad into killing himself. :)
Though you never have to deal with food, just water and at that very rarely, the games give a good feeling of trying to survive in the badlands and exploring to track down the macguffin of the game. And while there's the aforementioned bottlecaps, I find most of my bartering is done using weapons instead and I have piles of bottlecaps with no real use.
Hope that helps, I'm really enjoying the games so far.
-
Bottlecaps are worthless in Fallout 2, being replaced by NCR dollars and barter items.
Also if you are unlucky enough to live in Europe the European versions of the games cut all content including children, rendering a number of quests broken (the censors didnt like the fact you can gun down kids.)

Hello TheMightyFlip
I too have lived with that problem but I found this site:

Now you have all the goodies that the ones from "over there" have and a lot more :)
-
More wastelandery goodness from fenryll games (http://www.fenryll.com/en/category-16.html).
-
Not a big fan of those. The anatomy seems weird all over the place for a lot of them. It sucks as I still need several Raiders that fit in well with FO3.
-
NOOOOOooooooo!!!! More! More! More!!! >:( >:( >:(
I just found & read through this thread for the first time. I truly did not want to ever reach the end!! :'( :'(
Some FANTASTIC stuff and inspirational stuff in here!!
You guys have gotten me to the point where I actually want to play the game. (Last PA PC game I played was Wasteland. :)

Fallout 3 + 5 expansion packs
these are: Operation ancorage, Broken Steel, The pitt, Point Lookout and Mothership zeta.
if you havent got the game by now, wait a few months when the GoTY edition is out that will have all of the expansion packs with it.

Some brilliant post apoc miniatures here (http://store.aberrantgames.com/cso.html)
-
Question: where can I find suitable Raiders miniatures?
I have several at home, but I am wondering whether I have missed some. This is what I found:
*EM4/Mirliton
*Mad Puppet (absolutely the best ones)
*GW Goliaths (I like the Juves the most, the rest totally absurd in comparison to other manufacturers)
*Foundry Street Violence (especially Scabies Punks (http://www.miniaturicum.de/product_info.php?products_id=3434))
*Hasslefree's Joe
So am I missing models?
I will be converting these with Fallouty weapons:
TAG M4 x 10 x 10 (Infiltrator (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/The_Infiltrator), add a silencer and remove the stock)
TAG WEA051 M1 Garand Rifle x 10 (Hunting Rifle (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/.32_Hunting_Rifle))
TAG WEA020 AK47 Solid Stock x 10 (Chinese Assault Rifle (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Chinese_Assault_Rifle))
TAG WEA186 PPSH41 x 10 (Combat Shotgun (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Drum-Magazine_Combat_Shotgun))
TAG WEA054 Browning Automatic Rifle x 10 (R91 Assault Rifle (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/R91_Assault_Rifle))
WEA060 M1 Flamethrower x 5 (Flamer (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Flamer#Fallout_3))
10mm Submachine Gun (remove the front handle from the small MP5K and it is perfect) and a .44 Scoped Magnum (add a Street Violence scope to the revolver and presto!). (http://www.wyrd-games.net/shop/product.php?productid=16167&cat=263&page=1)
-
Some of the GW Gorkamorka Digga's may fit the bill with some converting, don't know many else except for the ones you already listed.
Edit: Kallistra's set of near-future gangers also has some suitable models. Me and Braxandur both have a set so you can check them out before ordering:
http://www.kallistra.co.uk/Shop/Sci-Fi%20Shop.html
-
Any chance of close up pics of those? Been looking at them for a while, but a bit put off by the crappy pics.
-
I'll see if I can take some piccies when I get home but for now this model by HRE Joseph III from this thread:
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=12541.0
(http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q132/Kingjoey85/Rogue%20Trader/Crew3.jpg)
(http://www.kallistra.co.uk/Resources/SF1bs.gif)
It's a Kallistra ganger with a weapon swap and an added bionic eye, but otherwise untouched. The set contains 10 models:
3 scavengers based on the same model but with different heads and details, all carry a rather nice looking harpoon gun:
(http://www.kallistra.co.uk/Resources/SF3b.gif)(http://www.kallistra.co.uk/Resources/sf10.gif)(http://www.kallistra.co.uk/Resources/sf6.gif)
One scavenger carries something that looks like a cross between a stereo and a chainsaw:
(http://www.kallistra.co.uk/Resources/SF4b.gif)
There's a girl that works ok as a ganger but the model is far from special:
(http://www.kallistra.co.uk/Resources/SF2bs.gif)
There's a post-apocalyptic pimp sticking out his tongue:
(http://www.kallistra.co.uk/Resources/sf5.gif)
And there are three other decent looking ganger models, the middle one has a very ugly looking shotgun but otherwise the models are ok, only the faces could be a bit nicer, but nothing to really worry about. I will give my models new hair though.

They dont seem that bad considering the price.
-
They're not, I got them as a graduation present and I was happily surprised. Haven't painted any but they are somewhat tempting me ;)
-
Made some crappy piccies yesterday, the grey model is an EM4 savage for comparison:

Very cool thread... Do you have a rules set picked out that you wanted to use?
-
Do you have a rules set picked out that you wanted to use?
I'd like to hear the answer to this one too.
Are you still going to use Combat Zone?
-
For existing systems Combat Zone is the most suitable I think. It is as scalable as you want. I do think it needs to have some adapted rules to make it more Fallouty:
*Get rid of unit cohesion; Fallout is about single models IMO and not about units.
*Adjust the weapons to Fallout them:
-Machine Pistol -> 10mm Submachine Gun
-Assault Rifle -> Assault Rifle/Chinese Assault Rifle
-Light Pistol -> Chinese Pistol
-Medium Pistol -> 10mm Pistol
-Heavy Pistol -> .44 Scoped Magnum
-Machine Gun -> Minigun
-Missile Launcher -> Missile Launcher
-Recoilles Rifle -> Sniper Rifle
-Flamer -> Flamer
-Shotgun -> Double-barreled shotgun
-Autoshogtun -> Combat Shotgun
-Knife -> Combat Knife/Switchblade/Knife
-Club -> Tire Iron/Baseball Bat/Police Baton/Lead Pipe
-Sword -> Chinese Officer's Sword
Missing Weapons
-Laser Pistol
-Laser Rifle
-Plasma Pistol
-Plasma Rifle
-Gatling Laser?
-Hunting Rifle
Armor:
*Primitive Armor -> All Raider Armor/Roving Trader Outfit/Merc Chamer Outfit/Regulator Duster
*Flak -> Leather Armor/Recon Armor/
*Combat Armor -> Combat Armor/Metal Armor/Talon Combat Armor/Ranger Armor
*Add rules for Power Armor
Other than that I think you don't need to change a lot. Maybe make some 'army lists'
I'm not a big fan of Combat Zone (I don't like 1D6 games, too limited) but I don't have a good alternative.
Received my Kallistra models yesterday! They look great. I can use 5 for my Raiders. Only 1 sculpt is bad (the one with chainsaw), the rest are very cool.
-
I think the chainsaw can be quite easily converted into a machine gun or some other ranged weapon, if you'd want 8)
-
im toying with some adapted rules for fallout warfare (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/65775)
But im also tinkering with my own home brew set of rules that for now i have dubbed "aftermath" that work on a card based system.
-
I tried my hand at making a super mutant out of a GW Plastic Ork body and Catachan parts.
(http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q132/Kingjoey85/Fallout/SuperMutant.jpg)
-
depends what scale your other mini's are.
GW are quite chunky.
but the conversion is looking good though.
-
Really nice conversion and works perfectly for Supermutants. Colorwise I would make him much more yellow. These things are so absurdly yellow in the game.
-
they are only yellow in fallout 3, in fallout 1+2 they look more like this:
(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/9/9b/Harry.jpg) or this:
(http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/c/c0/Marcus.jpg)
actually they look like this (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/5/5f/Mutant1.gif) in game, but you get the idea.

They are cool, Armorcast do some nice post apoc signage and terrain too.

They're great!!
Damn, have they sold? That'll teach me for taking a holiday :(

Thanks for the kind words & encouragement gents
If you are interested I have another batch of Post Apoc terrain on ebay = item no 280397438182

I'll get some better pics up later, but this is my favourite bit
(http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm89/Renko1917/grog.jpg)
I put them on with a fairly optimistic buy it now option - its less than the last lot went for. I was going to split the thing into lots but think it is better together.
I'm a bit snowed under with (real life) work so I really just build terrain to relax. Been playing a lot of Fallout 3 recently so that's been the inspiration when I felt the need to stick things together.
Semi serious question, would people want a colapsed section of highway, and if so how big would it need to be, and what would they be prepared to pay?
Other than that, what else is iconic Fallout terrain?
-
Possibly stuff from the first two games? Vault city, Junk Town, etc. The busted Highway Man in need of some spare parts? Arroyo?
-
Aggghh... want them... but can't... get... on ebay til I get home.... :'(

BTW Pilgrim - I'd definitely be interested in a collapsed highway section. Not really sure on cost though.
Couldn't see the Buy It Now option though. Am I going mad?

Not sure whats wrong w the B I N - but ebay is charging me for it - figures!
The collapsed highway thing should be pretty viable but the problem would be the base of each pillar - you would need a fairly large table footprint to make it stable, and to make any visual sense it needs to be at least a pair I would say. Actual construction I would use 50mm pink foam for the pillars and maybe 25mm for the roadbed.
Posting is a different matter - the thing would be a good 30cm high at least to get the right effect so that would be a damned big box, even if weight was not so much
I'll have to come back from Point Lookout tonight to have a good look at the actual detailing - Girdershade would probably be the best place to look :-)

Nice - that looks like a plasticville building, the garages are nice too.
Ooops - not Plasticville on second glance - scratch built

Not to reveal too many details, but I've just finished my overpass, at least the construction. Since it has to pass over the Capital Beltway, I did two large pieces with attached road and then a smaler central piece to hold the middle. I also did two collapse pieces that rest diagonally against the larger pieces. I used wood dowel for the columns and gatorboard for the roads. It's based on MDF.

Last chance on those scenery bits, one day to go.
If I said I need the money to feed my kitten would that help?
