Chris' Fallout Project

[Westfalia Chris]

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...

Hint: These are the Pegasus Hobbies 1/48 cows from their Farm Animals box. Excellent set, that one. Apart from six cows (apparently that very rare and elusive single-headed Brahmin mutation!), you also get sheep, chicken, pigs, two sheepdogs... swell stuff, and only 9,50€ for 30 animals at my model store. The figures are cast in a "hard soft plastic", ie akin to Revell 1/72nd scale figures, but easily cut, glued with CA glue and painted with acrylics.

These guy might make nice Brotherhood Paladins:-



Got miniguns anyway.

I agree
Great set for adding a little extra to your table

Painted Brahmin!



Ghoul and... well, some Pardulon figures I´ll use for unholy abominations. Suggestions welcome from seasoned players of the Fallout games what those could represent.

Man´s best friend!



Cheers!

the two ghoulish things could be used as glowing ones, they have the same,,, "argh the pain"-look as they do

might need to give them a slight reapaint, if you had some fluorescent paint they would look fantastic i think

The Brahmin look excellent.

Very frothy!

The Blue Towel, of course! 

Great Work!

Very nice, I like the brahmin. Though the pink does seem a little outta place.

I take it then 1/48 is a good size for 28mm? The brahmin look great by the way!

Haaaah! Here we go again... Seriously, this is one of the famous "it depends" areas. I think these farm animals work rather well, because they are delicately-sculpted and therefore do not look as "huge" as "gaming style" figures with the same measurements would look (although I would have liked to have huge, bloated mutant cattle as well).

In this case it works out fine. Additionally, I´ve used 1970´s vintage Bandai 1/48 scale plastic figures to make vehicle crewmen for my 1/48th German vehicles. With such, it becomes very difficult and a thing of "Mix and match" - for example, I really think 1/48th scale Sherman tanks look excellent next to modern 28mm WW2 figures (BAM, BTD), but a Tiger Tank is far too huge.

Now that there´s a huge range of 1/56th scale vehicles from a number of manufacturers, I will henceforth only use those. Looks far better with most figure ranges.

Enclave powered armour!



I ordered the range of Kryomek Nexus SWAT figures, each figure once, and they make great APAs. In addition, there were some figures that didn´t work as faceless minions of the fascist regime, due to bare heads, so I chose to slightly convert the helmets in a different way (the above got antennae/horns from plasticard and putty) and will paint them as Brotherhood of Steel paladins. I think the armours will work far better than the previous attempts.

I´ve alread converted another figure to carry a minigun (Enclave faction) and will probably do another wielding a Fatman launcher.

  at first glance, those are even better than the ones from warzone, i don't have time to compare properly  now... work work..

Mutant spiders:



Games Workshop figures, "Mirkwood Spiders" (some Lord of the Rings stuff, I assume), which were 50% discounted at my FLGS. Six more are currently painted for Fallout, and the remaining six as Space Spiders for Retro SF games, based differently.
