"Greetings, Traveller!" A little Borderlands diorama

[Modhail]

I had to put off posting this, because it was a Christmas present for a mate of mine. He got the present by now, so I can finally show it off to you lot.... 

He and I play a lot of Borderlands co-op (it's a shooter game on the PC). So this year I decided to surprise him with a homemade gift.
A Borderlands bounty board:


The Claptrap ("helpful robot") is from Black Cat bases, the crate is from Fenris, by way of Hasslefree.
The rest is scratchbuilt from styrene, blister pack and mayo tube ... Oh, and the white metal ribbed cables are from Dragon Forge Designs, I almost forgot.
Lots of fun to build, even more fun to give.

Work in progress shots are here. I didn't take too many, as I was working towards a deadline...

Hope you all had a nice Christmas, and will have a good 2012!

Thanks!
The (wanted) posters are taken from screenshots and online concept/fan art and printed in a smaller size.
I scrunched them up and smoothed them back out again to give them a worn look. After glueing I darkened the paper edges with a wash. Easy but effective.

Very nice, it would fit in well with any kind of post-apocalyptic wargame.

I played through all of Borderlands and all it's DLCs with a Buddy of mine, it was great fun blasting those psycho midgets to hell with an oversized revolver/hand cannon =) We never managed to beat the "secret" boss, though (the giant crab from one of the expansions).

Great work.  Borderlands was a lot of fun and had several interesting characters suitable for gaming.
