interesting... I'll keep this in mind for certain things then

O Gague RR stuff is almost perfect too

Sounds good

Sorry for slow reply guys D=

RW: Sure do now, took some new pics now ground is finished, with mini's in for scale =)

Merlin: Cheers glad it looks sorta like the game version

Scarper: Thanks man, for the walls I had a base coat of brown, similar to scorched brown. (For the whole thing I used mixed acrylic paints, a I would be using a lot of paint and didn't want to buy 28 GW paints)
Then I dry-brushed a light creamy yellow over each of the planks, going with the planks and focusing on the middle of the planks, leaving a subtler dry-brush on the top and bottom edges of the planks and the sides. I did this a few times getting lighter and lighter each time, up to almost white.
To dirty it up more I added patches of dark brown on the walls and also on broken edges, for a slight burnt look as well, with a large, and again dry brush.
I also added some washes of brown in-between planks that looked too clean.
And now with the base, I allowed the brush to splatter the bottom edges of the outside walls as I painted the soil. To give a dusty appearance.

And hahaha I had those two on my desk as I was thinking of an nickname. I have fun thinking up the poses too

DrCheese: The base of the chapel is now finished but I am planning to furnish it with debris as it is in game. I have pics of what the interior in-game looks like, and of my WIP mattresses below.

Vik: Thanks man now based!

Shas: Hahaha how close is almost, you must get really freaked out watching movies! But seriously thanks man =D

Stein: Cheers buddy, and what did you mean by AB work? If air brush, then thanks but didn't use one, and if you mean abb work then thanks, I have been doing a sweet sit up routine

Ammo boxes and metal boxes will be coming, but the ones I got are a little small, so I'll see how they look.

And I had thought about how I have no cars, I was thinking of using Marx Cars of the Future: http://www.lead-adventure.de/gallery/7/1352_12_01_11_4_36_31.jpg
Which I know are correct scale and look awesome, because I have seen them used by people doing similar projects.


Anyway on to new pics:








WIP mattresses for interior, made from foam-board covered with liquid green stuff.

They were modeled after these ones:


Sorry for long post, hope you like

Love it spartan!!!

My only suggestion apart from the gerry cans, ammo tins and matresses is to "burn" the upper sections of the church so it looks like its burnt down

Love it! Wicked cool. I really like the floor tiles.

No airbrushing?? WOW- you can't tell! Great work! LOLz on the sit ups

I love the idea behind this project. Good work!!

cool looking spartan! really cool stuff...

and the drybrushing looks so smooth on those wooden walls... very good....

oh and consider that idea with the foamcore mattresses and LGS nicked... that is a cool thinking head you have their... i think someone ought to eat yon brain^^

Now for some dirty paper scraps and she'll look "Homey" for any raider!

Sorry no update on the chapel, but I have finished some radscorpions which are Reaper Miniatures Dust Scorpions. Bit on the small side, so they will be baby radscorpions for the two giant radscorpions I am building.

lol...those look really fitting...the paintscheme for those is almost straight from the game! splendid work mate!!!

and will you show us some wip pics of your bigger self made version soon?

Wow, the chapel looks great! And the rad scorpions.... just like in the game!

Excellent Radscorps!

Radscorps made me want to break out the Xenlong

Cool radscorps! I can't wait to see some giant ones! But if you make any albinos, I might end up violently shooting up my computer screen when i see them just by reflex. Damn things just don't friggen' die!

Wicked wicked wicked. The scorpions look great, loving the mattresses and the chapel.

D

Hey cheers guys =D

And I'm not scratch building my other Radscorpions, I'm using 2 Heresy Miniatures Giant Scorpion. I just said I was building them because you have to pin every single leg and pincer arm.

Ere's a little WIP pic,
The bases:

Hey people, sorry for the extended hiatus, I was on holidays =)

So haven't done a lot since getting back into routine, but here's some pics to show there is some progress to come. Thanks for looking =)

Paper scraps on chapel floor and beginning to paint podium and mattresses:


Base-coated scorpion number 1:

welcome back spartan...

is that scorpion basecoated in silver? will you paint it as a white one?

Looking good Spartan, especially the detailing in the church and the Rad Scorpion!!!

Cheers guys =)

No its matte black, I just took the pic right after I sprayed it, in direct sunlight. Will be the normal colouration.

Also here's my model of the sniper you find in the chapel, the Drifter:
His sniper is from Chapterhouse Studios.

He doesn't have a cape or sword in the game.

Cool cool. Wonderful as ever.

D

Im not going to lie, I just rebaught FO3 and have been playing heavily recently, meaning I come back and look at the great conversions on this thread again!

that cloak while it looks cool needs a bit of GS work still to work better with shoulders and cloak...

the gun is a nice choice!!!

All looking sweet!

Thanks guys, happy to hear your playing again RW

Sorry vik, I was too excited and painted him up without fixing up his cape =[
I see what you mean doesn't quite fit to the shoulders, but I'm not too worried its only really noticeable from eye level with the mini.

Anyway here he is:

the boots... the boots totally make that a winning mini... the dusty boots at that!!!

is it the pic or is the snipergun all metal? dunno if that was a wise choice...

Yeah the gun is all metal. I was just working off the in-game colours, do you think i should add detail like a black scope and black areas?

Actually looking at the in-game gun it looks like the ammo and scope are a darker black.

I'm open to any ideas =)

yup... i would suggest considerably darken the whole thing...



the last thing you want to do with a sniper rifle at the ready is to draw unwanted attention to yourself...
