Excellent build.   Do you by chance have a picture of the interior with a model or two inside.  I'm just wondering if it would work for the Eden board I'm planning.

Cheers

That's brilliant and a lovely walk-through, I've a similar kit to build myself so I'll be studying that very carefully. Many thanks!

Struggling to find my figure painting foo (I used to do it for a living a thousand years ago, killed that part of the hobby for me :-/ ) so I'm a bit thin on the ground for figures. I've got some frostgrave ones I've thrown paint at, but nothing fallout painted yet :(

any tips on how you got that amazing weathering.

Thanks :) tbh, all the hard work is done by the properties on the oil paints - it *wants* to smear. How much it smears depends on the surface though. The interior walls are satin (slightly glossy) and the exterior walls are matt. It slides more over the satin/gloss surface (and it's easier to clean off if you mess up). The matt surface clings to the oils and you have a much shorter working time.

I use an wide brush with odourless thinners and drag top to bottom (for the interior) - the exterior was more random - and had rough oil stain washes to break up the concrete. The interiors got a faint green wash from the floor up (hold the piece upside down and let the wash flow where it wants).

You gotta get your brush dirty and try it. It practically paints itself once you get a feel for the paint.

Doesn't have to be painted or even fallout related. Just after an idea of scale.

Superb job. I think I may have try try that oils technique. The results are spectacular.

Damn, I hate using thinners as they just seem to upset my system. All that sort of stuff does. My loss as that method is the ducks guts.

I use Sansodor odourless thinners. It's a lot better than getting a headache :-)
