The prison would need a LOT of mesh..I don't have that much. It'll have to wait..or be modular in nature.
ATM I'm finally painting my Brotherhood of Steel minis.

If you did do the prison it may have to not be to scale as he main feild is so large and theres not really that many places that you always see througout the sirse. You could do the cell block and other room where they keep the food/old eating area with ease. Possably the cafteria, you could do both the feild and the other space which leads to the main building (the one that they fall back to in episode 9 or 10). That part could have the main gate house and the destoryed building. Mind you there would be a lot to grass tufts to be purchased! And then the wire mesh could be costly too!
I agree Vik, very cool Here they are (just realized I forgot to paint the ammo belts)

I agree, I always referred it as my "Papasha shotgun"

Although I've found a BAR in the New Vegas DLC that uses the .308 sniper ammo that is quite effective at removing faces as well

They also have the M-Garand,,,aka Battle-rifle, it even "pings" when empty. Also, the zion download allows access to .45 cal pistols, and tommy guns

I'm only now going through the NV DLC, lots of story left to go with all the DLC I haven't really used yet, and yeah..then there is the mod world..console players don't know what all they are missing/
Automatically Appended Next Post: I've also been thinking about Fallout miniatures, and I've realized the most common type of armor in FO:3 and vanilla New Vegas is the Combat Armor
Whether it;s Reilly's Ranger's ...
Those Talon Co. clones
It's a pretty adaptable armor color scheme-wise too, hence the plethora of recolor mods out there
Stylish too
So I have determined I must convert something similar
also..I NEED this mini....NEED
Any ideas for that?

hmm... for the standard combat armor i would start with cadian bitz... a bit of PC for more articulated shoulderpads...
as for that other gear... maybe start with those heretics of the new 40k starter kit... the leader of the humans... and then add a suitable head?... i think RW made a good commissar conversion of this one that might hint some clues as to what to do...head looks mre russian to me... so maybe some gasmasked heads there?
Vik..I was thinking Cadian too..but I'll be damned if I can find any ..somewhere around here I swear..
I've got some Pig-iron (I think) heads
with almost suitable helmets, except that ridge would need clipped/filed off...maybe?
Without shoulderpads here, of course

i think the heads are perfect... you are no 100% guy with your conversions... so a bit of indiviuality is fine!
and well... thought you were a bit more sorted
also... i expect you could even use cadian heads... add some rebreathers of the old command set?... if you have any? ...these could work if you sand down some of the more typical cadian details of those helmets...
hardest part is as always the long coat......or maybe you have some medival or witchhunter minis? or western looking ones?... they could work too...
Well.I'm thinking maybe GS? It should be simple in theory right? Wrap a flat peice from the armpits down, then wrap a collar, then layer on the shoulder leather? or am I just wishing?

well if it was me we were talking about... i would call that wishing... you...decide for yourself ... maybe there are some tuts out there for that line of work? ...hhhmmmm...
I couldn't bring myself to hack up those old sculpts myself, the collector in me would freak out too much
