Title: Fallout New Vegas at Cold Wars 2011
Post by: Sterling Moose on March 14, 2011, 11:48:23 PM

Similar to the Fallout game from Fall In a year or two ago, this one portrays the familiar landscape of New Vegas.  Awesome job, great terrain and a fun looking game.

Beautiful! Where are the non-marx car vehicles from? I am drooling at the thought of this table. Where did you do this?

Is that gas station scratchbuilt?  If it's a kit I'd like to know the maker.  The table is just gorgeous. Nice touch adding the casino dice in "New Vegas" games.

I've seen better.  :)  To answer some questions, the non-Marx cars are just 1/43 1950's cars I got from Diecast Direct.  The gas station and most of the terrain on the table was scratch-built by me.   The gas station took quite a bit of time I assure you.  I would like to point all that while I built almost everything, the fine folks at Sabol Studios did most of the painting on the buildings and cars, they also built the one wrecked model between the utility poles.  I added the posters and little touches after getting them back.  So it was a great collaboration really.  One downside was the I converted some lovely Legionnaires that were not received by me in time due to a big fail on the part of Office Depot/UPS.  They would have really added to the whole thing and were wonderfully painted by Adam over at Fineline Studios.  I also did use real casino dice and gave out used card decks as prizes.  I acquired both after visiting many casinos on the Vegas Strip.   After they are used the casinos will mark them and then sell them for a nominal price.  I like authenticity.  Thanks for the kind words.

Joey

P.S.  I forgot to mention the rules used were Ganesha Games Mutants and Death Ray Guns, which work great.

Also, Sterling Moose, thanks for the great pictures.  Did you introduce yourself to me?  I met one other Lead Adventurer there, but I don't think it was you.

Did you introduce yourself to me?

no, not at such, but we did have a conversation along the lines that Fallout 3 was better visually than Fallout New Vegas, and larger in scope.  I love the ruined cityscape of Fallout 3, as opposed to the open wasteland of Nevada (which it is anyway).

There's that bloody Checker Gang.

Very lovely scenery.

I know it's a little silly but I love the fact that you guys were using casino dice to play. Seems fitting for a New Vegas game. Also, I'm neon green with envy >:(...

Yours truly,

Sir Dryden

I had not noticed the dice! Truly nice!

I want to double down on the green thing too! lol :D

This set up looks great.  I particularly like the gas station and the Mark cars.  I ordered a set of the cars for myself just today.

How did you do the road surface? It looks great - I love the cracked asphalt and the crater (which looks like a Pegasus Hobbies one to me, although it's worked into the terrain piece seamlessly) looks fantastic. I'm hoping to do a Car Wars-type game in 28mm at some point in the future, so any info on how you did your roads would be great.
Thanks!

Thanks, Sangenarru!

Actually, my method is fairly similar to the one linkws above, though I used gatorboard so the cracks are really defined.  Hindsight, I would probably use MDF since I didn't realize you can get such good results with carving.  As for the painting, I coated the entire road in Woodland Scenics Asphalt, which is a great black/grey color, and then simply drushbrush khaki.  That's it.  Thanks for all the compliments.

Joey

P.S.  The crater is from GW. I just a cut rough chunk out of the gatorboard to match the shape of the crater, inset it, then covered the holes with compound.

Aha! Thanks, Deathwing. A GW crater, then - but beautifully worked into the road surface. Very convincing - as is the whole board.
