Quite true - but that doesn't stop you from putting it out there, though for far future stuff I usually adapt my debris to fit those environs. A smashed case of Soylent Green or Brawndo always is good (and tests to see if anyone is paying attention). Other things like Psi-Cola, Half-Life's own Nuka-Cola, Slurm and other products from books, movies and other games are fun to throw out there too.

At what point after the 30 minutes do you demand it be free?

**Viktor von Domm**

i gotta ask...are the cans in FO3 the same color as in FO New Vegas? ...yours currently have a rather greenish grey like hue... in FO new vergas i know for sure they are more redish brown...just wondering...

the nuka bottles tho are a totally fine thing...

and thise inside shots with your vault dweller are fantastic!!!...and then the topview... that really gets me to smile ...

**dsteingass**

I think that's the lighting Vik, no green at all. Brown primer, dk. Brown ink, and then drybrushed orange. But I see what you mena, it does look a bit greenish. Chalk it up to Radiation I guess

They are glued down and therefore won't be touched.

edit: actually, the primer I used was German GrunBraun, so ONLY your old-ass eyes can see it

**Viktor von Domm**

my eyes actually are highly sought for...in three states

i pick only on the few peeps i reall do care about... say that mantra to lady geek

and i actually though your painting OCD kicked in and you kept to the rather colder scheme of FO3 than the more warmer hue of the whole vegas area...

**Ruglud**

I think you need some more billboards and posters...

**shasolenzabi**

All amazing work Dave! and yes, legendary thread status is definitely reached with the details and skills shown here.

**dsteingass**

Aww shucks!

I still have the Nuka Break Billboard, I just don't have the proper building for it yet

**GiraffeX**

Excellent work I love your attention to detail Dave and Vik's attention to your attention

**dsteingass**

I must warn you all though...I am about to sit down to the extended editon Blu-Ray Hobbit with 9 hrs of extras and a huge pot of spaghetti that I just made. That with the new movie coming out next month, I may revert back to Middle Earth soon. That is if there are no objections?

**Theophony**

Nuclear wasteland, then short hairy people. I'm good with whatever motivates you.

**dsteingass**

..Oh..AND a bottle of 2009 vintage homemade wine too!

**monkeytroll**

Best keep away from the cutty things then.....

**Dr H**

You have to go where the inspiration takes you. Enjoy your Hobbiting...

as if we could object to that... or...as if we could actually steer you...or would like to steer you...

**Briancj**

There's a decided lack of bottlecaps in any of this FO scenery.

**Viktor von Domm**

i guess already looted the hell out of these buildings

**shasolenzabi**

I loot all the caps I can in any building!

Hmm m,ore details to Bagend?

**dsteingass**

I actually have Jake's bottlecaps, I just don't know where I put them.

**shasolenzabi**

Ah, a cache of caps!

**dsteingass**

Unless my Orks got out of their drawer AGAIN! They loot anything not riveted down around here!

**shasolenzabi**

Orks prefer Teef! eve'bodee knows dat!

**dsteingass**

The Lootas trade with super mutants...caps for teef

**Dr H**

Check all the (suspiciously similar) metal boxes and footlockers that are laying about, that'll be where they are. Unless there's a safe somewhere...

Considering the 40k influence, Supermutants do share a lot of similarities to the Greenskins,

No desk, locker, box, footlocker safe or container of any kind goes unchecked by me in the wastes.

**Viktor von Domm**

Question...has anyone ever found any caps inside toolboxes? I bet not...what's the point here? A plumber who files neatly his bottlecaps of drunk bottles is sarsparillia in desks or filing cabinets...but keeps his toolbox capfree???

**inmygravenimage**

It is magnificient Dave. A question/request - would a tiny 28mm handprint be possible inside the glass (possibly even dragged down the glass)?

**dsteingass**

@Graven- possibly...but if I used an open miniature hand, your GW-addled brains would say it was too small

@Vik I don't think so, I usually look for scrap metal in those.

**Viktor von Domm**

Yeah, scrap metal and those paint guns
