It was the janitor all along…….

**Camkierhi**

LOL

Sorry just brilliant.

**Ruglud**

Hasslefree are the way to go Dave...

Painted by gi6ers over on the Forum of Doom

**dsteingass**

OOh! THat's even better!

Shop SMART, Shop Hasslefree-Mart

**Ruglud**

Hasslefree, Hasslefree, how I love thee Hasslefree...

**Theophony**

Funniest thing I've seen related to this was in news and rumors. Somebody opened a dakkadakka account with the name Games Workshop. His first and only post was in the tau thread....

Haha

You guys made me buy things!

**Valhalla130**

Awesome. Once I've made all the purchases I currently need for my Space Marine army, I'm going to buy a few of those just to paint up as a lark. I may even give them away as gifts. My oldest daughter used to love watching Scooby Doo with me.

And my best friend would love Ash. Do they have a Freddy Krueger version? He'd like that even better.

**Tibbsy**

Since it seems you're a fan of Shaun of the Dead Dave, did you notice the "armed-British-police-that-are-totally-not-based-on-Hot-Fuzz-characters-at-all" ?

I have an Officer Nick that I never really got around to finishing (As is usual with most of my projects

)

**dsteingass**

Those are cool Tibbs! Although I have to pace myself

An excellent job on them here!

Why FINISH stuff when there are soo many NEW projects to start!?!

'Cause I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle

**shasolenzabi**

Jingle jangle!

Hasslefree, home of this beauty of mine!

That civilization is a thing for me to see So bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no no no no
Bingo, bangle, bungle, I'm so happy in the jungle, I refuse to go
Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords, I make it clear
That no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right here.

**dsteingass**

I wsh Dakka had a player that would just play GNR in the background whenever someone reads/posts on this blog

It's the Official Soundtrack of my thread

**Camkierhi**

Have you formed the tops of those window arches?

Looking great.

**dsteingass**

Thanks Cam!

The tops of the windows, are actually tops of O scale window moldings from Grandt Line. I bought a couple of sample packs of them last year. handy little bitz to have around

I'm hoping the single chair rail and the fun stuff I can do in the inside walls will be recognizable as Fallout-ey

**Dr H**

Good work Dave. It's looking fallout-y already.

I used to always get disappointed when I went into a building and found that it was either empty, didn't have stairs to the top floor or both...

**dsteingass**

Thanks Doc!
That's why I like The mods that opens up the otherwise-empty buildings around, makes it seem like you've missed something before

**Nafarious**

Those are some awesome set ups you have there dave. I remember walking into those buildings I was always so happy to see they had a nice upstairs set up.

I hope fallout 4 has some nice buildings.

Yeah, when I get it working on my computer again I'll definitely be giving the mods a look.

Doors that can't be opened are even worse...

**dsteingass**

Thanks Nafarious! Appreciate it!
Me too man! It will be EPIC

The DC Interiors mod adds a lot of these, sometimes barely noticable

**shasolenzabi**

Big difference between PC Fallout and my X-box Fallout

**Valhalla130**

I'm wondering if it would be worth buying it again on PC. I have the opposite problem, I ahve trouble aiming with keyboard and mouse.

wait for a steam sale and then buy it, it will be worth it for sure. The mods and the clipping, so much fun.

**Valhalla130**

The clipping?

And I would not know how to go about installing mods. Every time I've ever done anything remotely like changing files on a computer, the computer becomes unuseable.

**dsteingass**

The GOTY is $20 everyday on Steam

Nexus Mod Manager is what you use to load them. It's not that dangerous Val

Another wasteland explorer gets taken down by feral ghouls.

**dsteingass**

With VATS and Stimpacks (and enough ammunition) That horde is takeable

I've built up the back wall

This way I can paint the inside, then roughly mask it off once glued on, then I can paint the outside.

Now the fun stuff can be worked on

**Casey's Law**

Sweet, is that a texture or did you do the tiles yourself?

**dsteingass**

It's textured plasticard, I just removed and broke a few of them

**Casey's Law**

Nice job, tiles are great for broken floors because they go down on a flat surface which means the underneath can be plain. Also they break over a short area, metal or wood has a wider area of effect around the hole which is problematic. I didn't realise stuff like that until I did my recent terrain piece but it's really important. You do it all so easily!
