No, you just must've picked the sweet spot right away, the higher the lockpick skill, the bigger the sweet spot

MOAR hatch door

Wow, it's looking absolutely fantastic. Love the Brother Vinni figs, gotta get some.

Unfortunately for me, I decided to go the 15mm route for my Fallout games. It does have it's benefits, like there's more scenery available, it's cheaper and it's quicker to paint. But, your 28mm version is pretty bad-ass I must say.

Here's my Fallout blog: http://fallout15mm.wordpress.com/

I haven't updated it in quite a while due to family emergencies, but I've got a lot of new stuff and more painted minis I need to post. Man, I really like the soda machines of yours. Can't find quite the same thing in 15mm. They're just not ..Fallouty.

you know dave... concering escapism... you are doing it wrong^^... you are locking yourself up in those cool lookinng steelpadded rooms ... very cool looking pipes...and lol... the outside world again is seen through the keyholes

and maxim... cool looking work you started there... and i see...the most benefit of going down the 15mm road is that you get lots of cool looking cars... i bet regular matchbox sized cars are quite into 15 scale?

Thanks a Lot Maxim! I really appreciate it man! That is a great-looking game though! The telephone poles and tire piles are the awesomesauce on top! And WHOA You paint 15mm that well!?! That is amazing sir!

Yep Vik, Matchbox can work, but those slightly larger ones that Maxim used look better IMHO.

ah... had them mistaken for matchbox ones... i haven´t had the ees at this time of the night to start reading^^ mea culpa^^

well as for eyes... these need some serious shutting^^


cheerio!!

Night Vik! That deep philosophizing has drained Vik's mana, he must recharge!

LOL...

LOL!

Thanks for the link Maxim. Interesting stuff you've been working on. I made the switch to 15mm for everythig sci-fi but 40K and POst-Apoc about two years ago and haven't looked back. I'm even thinking about switching over to 15mm for my fantasy rpg stuff as well now.

Thanks to LDD, the ebay Marx cars arrived today, and guess what? My beloved Corvega is too big

Just turn it into a Nuka Cola truck! (You could even have a missing door )

HAHA, The Nuka Cola Truck will be my eventual masterpiece, or my doom

I use the "Flying Lead" rules for just about any type of skirmish game in 15mm myself. I built a Stalingrad table for Flying Lead, everything is played on a 2x2' board.

Meanwhile..these are becoming easier to build

And this is my stash

Dave, are the walls of your diorama made from those Russian click together sets you got last supply drop? if so, yay for me as i have 3 sets on way!

Yes sir! Those are it. I got 4 sets, and that is all the panels that I have. Like I did with the hatch doors, I am going to need to convert the doorframes from the set into more panels to fill it out like I want.

Awesome! that's good for me then! how big has it enabled you to build the diorama? I plan on making my kits into a hidden imperial xenos dissection lab! :-)

Very nice dude!

You see the last pic there, I'm hoping to complete that one last row of full panels on top, I may have to get creative, but I need those top few inches as a block for the photography.

this will be so amazing when you finish this build!

For once I agree with Vik

and besides, he can't pick faults in it until it's finished can he!

^YOU! beware! *shakes fists*



and only for once???

If Vik didn't point out my faults, I'd think he didn't like me anymore or something

LOL... at least in terms of spelling you are totally secure (wouldn´t know typos if they´d bite me in the behind)

Sorry late to the party once again, great stuff Dave amazing what you can do with a box of bits, also glad you got the cars and 3 sets just like me

The stairways looks great and the Zing doors are tops, really impressed mate

Shame about the car scale but you can now build a smaller one

...

If you are insane, I want your illness. That is incredible. Yeah, so a lot of it is prefab. Whatever. it takes the mind of a master to take all those bitz and put them together into something so well done. Can hardly wait to see how you 'ruin' it up w/ rust and corrosion and pools of toxic goo and scorch marks and impact divots and and and and... look, a squirrel!

Just saw the scene you made with the figures in the building, and couldn't stop thing, "Smashy, smashy!"

LOL, thanks guys!

There is always this option

The major Corvega gate

Ohh, that's cool, don't think I've been there.

Neither have I, though I think I spend most of the time going in circles.

I think it (was) the bumper car ride at the Point Lookout amusement park

Dave, I got another small drop myself today but am yet to open it up! but in it it is another little present for you when i send the tiny machining tools ;-) I got a few thinking I would need them all but it looks like i won't so woo hoo for you my friend! I can pm you a pic if you want to see if it's useful?
