The Fallout Project - populating the table with wasteland ruins

[pacarat]

Love the effect you have with the loose & broken tiles scattered about.

[dsteingass]

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.

A really good guy, Taarnak took my rough sketches and some screenshots and drew me some digital templates for the sign




Now I'm just waiting for some 5mm styrene letters to arrive from Europe

Aw, shucks. You'll make me blush.    (I'm Taarnak @ Dakka, btw, for anyone who is confused. Lol )

Dave, I'm real happy to see they worked.  I like how you did the edging too.  Can't wait to see the finished product.

Edit:
Sizing looks good too.  Very happy how it turned out.

[dsteingass]

Sizing is perfect! If you've got the time, I may have some New Vegas signs (Smitty's bar, etc.)  that I'd like done too!

Thanks again man!

[dsteingass]

Ok, work has progressed, everything is glued together finally and sprayed with a diluted coat of black India ink

[Anpu]

That is looking so great!
I wish the resin walls were available around here too.

[dsteingass]

Thanks Anpu!

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.

Great stuff!  Richard

[joekano]

I really like the look of this!

[dsteingass]

Thanks guys!
Added some accessories


Not much useful, unless you've got the perk to turn tin cans into ammo

[zizi666]

Great stuff. Really captures that Fallout vibe.
 
BTW : those tin cans sure look the part. How did you make 'em ?

[Eric the Shed]

This is AWESOME

[dsteingass]

Thanks! I'm glad you asked!
4mm styrene tube and a pipe cutter to score hte lines



Then I used an 1/8" hollow punch on .010 styrene for the lids

What a tops build, and those little cans are flipping fantastic! Great ideas! I may have to borrow them, as my wasteland shelves are a bit empty.

While your in a tip sharing mood, how are the nuka colas constructed?

Cheers
