No way Nerd! Your billboard is the BEST EVER dude! But thanks bro!
I'm not familiar with the TG billboard you speak of- mine was 100% from the game.

p.s. I'm not fast, I'm just on vacation

I totally agree!
The billboard is simply fantastic!

**dsteingass**

Thanks Klaus!

I probably have as many, if not more hours into building Fallout miniature stuff than I do playing the game though

And I only heard about it a year ago

What can I do in another year??

**Valhalla130**

I love the FO3 diorama. Very nice. That billboard is stunning.

**dsteingass**

Thanks Val! I appreciate it man!

**Yellowbeard**

Very nice work, Dave; I really love the diorama. Very cool idea using the old car model in a sci-fi setting.

Forgive if I missed this somewhere previously, what scale model is it? 1/48? And for that matter, what model is it? Looks kind of like a '57 Chevy Bel Air?

Thanks.

YB

**dsteingass**

Thanks Yellowbeard!
It's scratch built, from the game Fallout 3, 40k scale, Heroic 28mm

Imagine atomic-powered cars were really built

I can't begin to tell you guys how happy it makes me whenever someone thinks it's a kit!

Hey look!

The Barricades on the Strip in New Vegas are the same bit as the billboard structure in Fallout 3, just shrunken down!

They were kitbashing!

**SagesStone**

Well they were bound to have a ton of billboards around there.

**Ruglud**

Wow, that billboard is out of this world... Any a totally scratchbuilt Corvega...

I haven't played any of the Fall Out (?) games, but the screenshotsare inspirational, might have to check it out just for some terrain ideas. Last inspirational game I played was 'Soldiers - Heroes of World War Two', got some of my WW2 scenarios and terrain pieces directly from this game.

Spoiler:

**Viktor von Domm**

You know what else is a good old WW2ish strategy?

Hogs of War is an epic game

**dsteingass**

That game sort of reminds me of the COmmandos and Men of War series of games- great fun, which makes you say many bad words.

Speaking of games, today, March 5th is SimCity day! It is downloaded and waiting for me to get off work and play it. See you guys ...LATER

**SagesStone**

Hmm, didn't realise that came out today thought it was still in beta.

**dsteingass**

Nope, today is the day. I downloaded it before work. It was really hard to get the splash screen then turn it off and go to work

**monkeytroll**

Well in that case...bye Dave, see you soon

Ah.... Hogs of War defined my late PS1 playing period, and much of my early PS2 playing period, as well... good times. Unfortunately I have lost the game :(

I love the Cylon Dave. Do you reckon the miniature would be of reasonable scale to be converted into a Titan of some sort?

**dsteingass**

Probably too big for a Titan, I dunno

The GI Joe is 12" tall

**LooT**

Heh, its all good. Everybody wants giant robots with feet the height of a man, right?

**Ruglud**

Ah the Playstation or PS1 era... I've still got my original Playstation somewhere (also got my Megadrive which still works after years in the garage). My most played games where Medal of Honour, MoH Underground and the Syphon Filter series... Good days

Ditto, mine sits happily next to the wii and xbox 360

**dsteingass**

It was called the Sega Genesis here is the States..many many fond memories thar! There is a collection of the old games for PS3, streets of rage, sonics, etc.

**ExNoctemNacimur**

Imperator Titan?

Where?

**dsteingass**

Day 3 and the Fething SimCity servers are still broken! I think I've started regions on every goddamn server now, only to get kicked off after an hour or so.

**Ruglud**

Sim City - crikey I remember playing that on on my Amiga 500, along with Populace, Warmonger and Championship Manager - many happy hours spent on the greatest console known to man. God, how I miss the Amiga 500...

**dsteingass**

Yeah well, the new one is ALL ONLINE..well it's supposed to be anyways.../rage

I've waited ten goddamn years!

**Ruglud**

hmm, might have to check it out when it's glitch free. Always enjoyed a bit of city building

**SagesStone**

I had heard it had some issues before, figured they'd bother to fix them for release or suffer like D3 did. Seems EA has some masochistic tendencies.
