OK so to restart my fallout project I've decided to start a new thread with what I have built today.
A WIP of a simple run down shack, patched up with corrugated iron and bits of wood. The green is liquid greenstuff (didn't have any polyfilla at work!). More pics to follow once I've painted and when I get better pics of my Fallout inspired cars (as seen here http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=47407.msg551017#msg551017 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=47407.msg551017#msg551017)).

Fantastic looking hovel! Going to place her on the top of a broken stretch of highway?
Love your thread name and sig! Haha. Classic.
-
lol Cheers. I hadn't thought of any particular place when building it but now you've mentioned it, I think I'm going to have to make my own version of Arefu on a ruined Highway bridge.
-
A nice bit to restart with, lad!
MORE!
;)
-
I have to get hold of supplies and start making my own terrain again... Posts like these are too inspiring to just skip past. D:
-
Sweet looking shack.
I just got some more stuff for my fallout table as well I need to get a new scenario ready for a conventiion in August.
-
Great looking shack. I look forward to seeing it finished.
-
Cheers guys. Painting it up as I type. My order from Brother Vinni arrived yesterday so I have more stuff to keep me motivated. I've got ideas drawn for a few other buildings I wish to do next so watch this space. Hopefully I'll have more to show after the weekend.
-
Sorry for the double post. Here are a couple of WIP shots from tonight's session...

After playing a lot of Fallout: New Vegas recently, finally getting my hands on the collectors edition of the game with all its goodies, and reading the great Fallout threads on this forum; I decided it was about time I continued with my own Fallout project.
I've painted another 4 of the Marx cars of the future. Not great pics (I'll try to get better ones tomorrow) and a close up of Yes Man.

Very nice those cars look very good :D
-
YES man!
I love the cars too. Did you finish your shack?
-
Thanks. I messed the paint job up on the shack so it's been put aside for the moment. I'm gonna see if I can sort it this week.
-
Looking good. That's a great collection of cars you have there.
-
The paintjobs look great on the Marx cars! The humble scavenger abode is ace too! And Yes Man!..very nice!
-
This is a cool project. The cars look fantastic.
Why, oh why did I not buy those when they were widely available? :'(
-
Cheers chaps. Sadly no update, I've been busy putting my model making skills to use with my sister's cake business. Give me foam board and coffee stirrers any day; fondant icing is such a pain to work with.
Why, oh why did I not buy those when they were widely available? :'(
I'm thinking why did I not buy more! They were such a good price I wish I had bought double. I just love painting them.
-
I really love the yellow cars, it looks so damn good! I hate painting yellow!

Cheers. I'm with you there. I hate painting yellow too. The yellow cars are painted two different ways. My original way of painting the rust was to do a reddy brown base coat over the whole car then stipple on the cars paintwork in a couple of layers leaving the edges brown. The first one I used foundry ochre yellow a and b. The open top car with red seats was done using my new way of painting rust; car painted all over with colour I want then stippling the edges with same reddy brown, then a silver. In this case I used GW Citadel yellows from the new range which seemed to cover really nicely. All cars were finished with a wash of Agrax Earthshade wash from GW new range.

Please Stand by...
Well as with all projects I got distracted and for far longer than I'd hoped for this project. Which is weird as Fallout 3 and New Vegas are nearly always being played by me. What with Fallout 4 coming out later this year and far too much playing of Fallout Shelter on my phone and tablet, it felt right to resurrect this stalled project.
I shall have a few pics of stuff painted recently to put up tomorrow but in the meantime, the promised better photos of my Marx cars.

Looking good! That is quite a fleet of vehicles.
-
:-* :-* lovely. You just need the big drive in movie screen now ;)
How good is fallout shelter? I'm loving it!!
Cheers
Matt
-
Cheers chaps.
Fallout Shelter has become an addiction, I love it. I took it off of my phone as I was constantly distracted by it.
As promised, some new things to show: Brahmin for the travelling merchant caravan, a rusty Protectron, an Eyebot and a rebased Yes Man. I'm basing all my fallout stuff up like my Wild West stuff so I can use the same board and some of the Cowboys and some of the buildings. I'll be going with a Mojave wasteland setting.

Great choice rebasing! They look good and are more versatile :)
Cheers

Finished this Brotherhood of Steel Paladin in t45d power armour last night. I was worried it would look rather boring with all the silver metal but I'm happier than expected with it.

Well, after months of looking, my local 99p Store finally got the EVA dominoes in so I could start my shanty town inspired by Germy's thread here http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=76459.0
This one was a test, really easy to make and I could easily fill a table with a few boxes (each box makes 7 buildings).

Looking good! I've loved that foam domino shanty concept since Germy originally posted it. :) Question - were you waiting till your local store got them because they're hard/impossible to find online? As a Yank I don't think I have the option of going to the 99p store. lol
-
Thanks. I had seen some online but they weren't as cheap. I found some on Amazon at about £3 a box instead of the 99p I paid. I would have been happy paying this as it's still cheap for making some decent terrain.
-
This project plods on amongst the myriad of other projects I have on the go. Decided I'll be using the This is Not a Test rule set for games. Had a practice game with two bands of raiders facing off and enjoyed them very much.
Started painting my raider biker gang.

-
Nice job on these old Copplestone beauties.
-
That is an amazing transformation from a yellow domino brick to a really great shanty bunker :-* Thanks for bringing the idea forwards
The bikers look great as well, although they could need some dirt. Scary to dirty up such great painting, but they just look a bit to clean for the post apocalypse / fallout feel IMO.
-
Thanks guys. I agree about lack of dirt, I think I'm scared that I'll ruin them after getting a decent finish. I will probably experiment more with dirt with the scavenger gang.
-
I stripped back the left and right biker a few weeks ago (old painting I wasn't happy with). Yours are lovely - I'm nicking that white stippling on the girl's jeans. Really makes her pop.
-
Awesome ! :-*
My biker gang got painted over a decade and a half ago. Not half as good as your beauties.
-
Cheers chaps.

Thanks. Im really happy with how that worked out. I was running with the idea that denim seams tend to wear away to white or if they're cut offs then the white represents the frayed edges.
I managed to finish another before the weekend with another well under way.

-
The rebel flag has also come out well on this one too.
-
Really sharp work. :-*
-
Real nice looking gang of bikers.
-
Just finished this guy. He'll probably end up as part of a Caravaneer gang for TNT. Fun as always to paint, Copplestones sculpts are just great. Hope he gets around to making more Post-apocalyptic minis at some point.
(http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv63/Uzgroth/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_3279_zpssdfklsbf.jpg)
-
Nice work on the figures. I really dig the rebel flag do-rag.
I have almost all the Copplestone/eM-4 figs but I have for some reason never got around to painting them.
-
It's been a LONG time since I did anything on this project. Part of me has struggled with what to actually build for it. With limited space to store stuff and far too many options for scenery and locations. Inspiration finally came whilst walking around the coast near my home. I should set it where I live.
So, I've decided my Fallout Apocalypse project will take place on Portland, Dorset and events that take place after the bombs fall in 2077. Fallout will still very much be the theme.
With the two big industries being stone and fishing there is plenty of inspiration for scenery to build: quarries, mines, docks. One idea I had was to have a community that had been built around the ruins of the lighthouse in beach hut shanties.
Enough rambling. Here are a few bits I have done recently. A Caravaneer and some generic scatter terrain.
The shipping container I made as an experiment to save money on buying resin ones. Made from foam board, coffee stirrers, corrugated card and kebab skewers.

Always good to see Fallout modelling underway!
I had the same setting concern. The place my game is set is somewhere I will likely never visit! I did consider setting it in Britain, but ultimately remained in the US.
Your pics look great. I hope you get some more done soon - your settlement idea sounds great!
-
Fantastic painting and scenery!
-
Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to the challenge of making scenery that matches loosely where I live and still feeling like fallout.
