Awesome stuff! All of it!

Where did you find such large pieces of corrugated card?

Where did you find such large pieces of corrugated card?

I bought a new bed from IKEA - it had LOADS of the small detailed cardboard!

Where did you find such large pieces of corrugated card?

Here in Germany, you can buy corrugated cardboard from crafts stores (Idee Creativmarkt, in my case). It´s only covered on one side, and there´s a huge variety of patterns, most in straights of various strengths, others wavy, etc. (although the latter are less useful to replicate corrugated metal, obviously). A 50x70cm sheet costs ~€1,95 (I already used the part of the card where the price sticker was, it may be a bit cheaper, but certainly not above 2 Euros). I´m afraid the closest Idee to Groningen is in Bremen, but I´m sure that you´ve got crafts stores in the Netherlands as well - I mean, you´ve got all kinds of nifty stores, so there must be some.

I saw this on sweetwater, but always forgot to comment. Absolutely stunning. Not just the miniatures and the painting, but also your creativity and, dare I say, vision! You have captured the feel of Fallout to the last radioactive bit! Amazing!

More piccies!

Raider Gang:



And a Vault Dweller:



All from EM-4. Sterling service again, except (a very minor "except") for the Vault Dweller, which was a mispacked figure - but I got the number of figures I paid for, I could really use this one as well, and the missing figure wasn´t all that much required, anyway, so no problem afterall.

[Col.Stone]

i sense a order from EM-4 is coming on real soon.. top job on the figures

[Pil]

Very nice, though the pictures (of the raiders) could be a bit larger with less white if you ask me

I like the different styles on the raiders (Punks in neon colours, and more primal voodoo people, etc.) and also a very nice job on the vault dweller (great model too ).

Ooh, Vault 13. Old-skool Fallout!

I'm more of a Vault 101 type of girl (or at least, my character is, though she has souvenir jumpsuits from several vaults).

So bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no no no no...

[Westfalia Chris]

You´re perfectly right, of course, so I went back and tried to get the pictures a little bit better and bigger, and the background less bright.

Ooh, Vault 13. Old-skool Fallout!

Harumph. Never knew what was supposed to be wrong with isometric graphics!

Anyway, I already painted a ghoul from Vault 12, but that is looking so ghastly (being an old Alternative Armies figure) that I still ponder whether to show it or not. Requires a base in any case.

Still the upside is homemade penguin and pineapple sausages so its not all bad.

Errr..... yum? 

[Predatorpt]

... a young African-American girl with a shaved head and wearing a pink nightie and Abraham Lincoln's hat, while toting a rather tatty-looking hunting rifle ...

Plynkes, I know pictures of that girl!
Ever since I have read Your post, I have been asking myself if she has appeared in a comic drawn by Dave Gibbons(?) I cannot remember the title or the story, though.
I know that I liked it very much! But for the love of you know who I cannot remember the title of that comic. Do You?

You must have been thinking about Martha Washington:

I have all those comics and they are great

Errr..... yum? 

Its the fact penguin meat has a high proportion of fat in it, That means you can avoid mixing the pirmary meat with pork neck in order to get the 30% fat ratio a good sausage needs. Pure cute endangered species flavour with the tangy kick of pineapple to set it off. 

Errr... did I leave some weapons-grade uranium lying around in this thread?!? 

Quick update: Just finished converting three Brahmin mutant cattle. Painting to ensue tomorrow!

[Dewbakuk]

Awesome. Are we alowed to tip them over? Vitally important part of the game that! I must admit to doing it many times in Megaton.

Unfortunately, the 40mm bases (EM-4) guarantee for increased stability!

Currently base-coated in earth brown.

I hate to say it but you've completely outsmarted my own take on this idea!

I bow for you! 

And now I'm off to find some PLASTIC cows instead of these metal ones...
