Title: The Fallout Project - populating the table with wasteland ruins
Post by: dsteingass on 11 October 2012, 06:59:08 PM: I'm giving my growing Raider gang a large mutant Raider from the Dark-Age game, named Mongo, just to have that hedge vs. Super Mutants and Power Armor

It's not canon, but plausible in my mind ;)

It's doesn't appear to be in English, so I'm afraid I don't know much about it, it was something that dzur3000 had in stock in his ebay store, so I grabbed them to save on shipping ;)

Title: Re: The Fallout Project
Post by: dsteingass on 16 October 2012, 11:39:07 AM: Awesome, ok sorry about the thread mixup there..

I've made some progress on the Super Mutants, I'll probably tweak a few things with the paintjobs still, but here you get the general idea.

Behemoth

(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a13/dsteingass/IMG_5907.jpg)
I also have WIP pics of the actual conversion process if anyone is interested

Super Mutant

And now, I am working on a Super Mutant Brute conversion from a Brother Vinni stock

(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a13/dsteingass/IMG_5919.jpg)

I'm not happy with the Minigun, the barrels needs some rework yet, but hopefully, it will resemble the Brute when I'm done

And the PJ's are outstanding.

Title: Re: The Fallout Project
Post by: The Somnambulist on 17 October 2012, 10:56:08 AM: Fantastic work , although I may be tempted to swap the head on the Behemoth.
Title: Re: The Fallout Project
Post by: dsteingass on 17 October 2012, 11:42:11 AM: Thanks for the love guys! I really do appreciate it!

We've actually had this discussion at length on my regular P&M Blog about the head. Many people mention that, but the head is exactly the scale size as the Behemoth, the difference is, he is wearing an armored mantle, which would be covering most of the bulky neck. And then there are the questions of WHAT head to swap it with? and why would the F.E.V. virus mutate each Behemoth identically, when the supposedly more controlled West Coast F.E.V. has shown to produce so much variation in Super Mutants?
Title: Re: The Fallout Project
Post by: stone-cold-lead on 19 October 2012, 09:12:49 AM: Love the conversion work there. Makes me want to put together a Fallout-esque type gang and wish my current laptop was capable of running Fallout 3.
Title: Re: The Fallout Project
Post by: dsteingass on 23 October 2012, 04:29:42 PM: Thanks guys! Apologies on the lack of progress here, I needed a diorama/photography set to properly photograph the different factions I am working on

THis pic is simply to illustrate that there is a slight scale difference between manufacturers, but they work well together

Well, I'm back with some more terrain, this time I'm making a focused effort on populating a table
This is the first ruin in a series of modular sidewalk bases.

I used O scale DPM panels for the walls, 1/8" PVC foam for interior walls, 1/4" for sidewalk, styrene, Hirst molds for cornice and the interior wall decrepitness was created with thin drywall mud.
I've since gone back to the original 2" sidewalks though, it better fits the in-game look IMHO.

You've really captured the feel of the game there, quite incredibly.

Which figures did you use for the Brotherhood?

I love the peeling wallpaper effect you have produced. At gaming level it looks spot on. Up cclise though the black lining looks a little wide, what do you think?

The building, colour scheme and sidewalk are spot on. They will look good when finished. :)

Cheers

Title: Re: The Fallout Project - populating the table with wasteland ruins
Post by: dsteingass on 18 September 2013, 11:22:51 AM: Thanks guys! EmperorPenguin is correct, they are Brother Vinnis from Russia, fantastic figures!

The chipping was actually an accidental effect. I had to paint the interior before joining the back wall section to the building. I then masked off the interior to paint the exterior.

I apparently didn't allow the drywall mud to cure long enough and this happened :o

The chips could use a few scrapes with a drybrush ;)

This one had a lot more trimwork. If you guys aren't interested in the WIPs, I can wait until it's done, but I really do appreciate the C&C. Sometimes, things bug me, and it's a good sign when someone else notices it too (like the re-primering inside the chips)

Title: Re: The Fallout Project - populating the table with wasteland ruins
Post by: dsteingass on 03 October 2013, 05:59:11 PM: Thanks guys! The walls are O scale plastic DPM panels marketed for O scale train hobbyists.
The DPM panels are NOT easy to work with, requiring a belt sander to cut 45 degree angles on the sides where they join to each other.

You REALLY need a belt sander though. I tried just sandpaper and cutting with a knife and it's never really a true 45 degree bevel.

And reference shots, actual construction will most likely vary.
UPDATE: I had to order Slater's Plastikard 5mm plastic letters from the UK ebay, so I won't get the sign built for a couple of weeks.
Title: Re: The Fallout Project - populating the table with wasteland ruins
Post by: rwwin on 14 October 2013, 04:25:06 AM: Those look great. Here are a couple of shots of a OGRR piece I had left over from a project. They are scored on the back so that they can be snapped into single stories. The only thing I really don't like about them are the locating tabs on the back that need to be chiseled off if you want to add an interior.

Title: Re: The Fallout Project - populating the table with wasteland ruins
Post by: dsteingass on 16 October 2013, 02:23:26 PM: Thanks! That's actually one of the easier effects, however, for some reason, the last sheet of 1/4" Plastruct tile I got was a bit thicker than previous purchases, therefore it caused a bit more hand strain with the knife cutting random tiles out of the sheet. The embossed lines make the lineup rather easy though. If you look closely, only the top left floor has the thinner stuff, I tried to add plenty of RR ballast to the floors and edges to hide a possible scalebuster.

You want to look for Bachmann train dealers. Is Sweden on the Euro? If so, does it cost you to get things shipped from the UK?

The other three sides are Nothing special, because they will have other buildings/ruins butted up against them, but they are all done.

And for sure mail is still delivered to and from Alaska. :-)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/96-COCA-COLA-BOTTLES-1-43-O-Scale-/380175860490
Seems like a deceptive picture/description to me

I PM'd my buddy to see if he has any bottles left, if anyone is interested. No promises though.

Yeah, been oogling that listing for a while now. Maybe I'll bite when the time is right (read : when I made way more progress on my Fallout stuff)

Voila.

If you file too close to the centre and open the tube up, smashed bottle!

Was it all by accident or have you found a way to reproduce those effects? Ive got some Pasticville buildings coming in the mail and id LOVE to reproduce that effect.

Keep up the amazing work!
