i have just read this entire blog from page one and must say well done sir!
i also am a massive fan of fallout 3 and recently have been playing it again. one question, would you ever attempt hellfire armour? i think it looks so brutal and menacing!

The Glowing One looks outstanding! Well done.

Very cool TS! Ever wonder where they carry their metro tickets and 4 caps? no pockets!

The Bauhaus from the relaunch of WarZone might make a good basis for an Enclave conversion.

What a cute little dude

Ahh, sweet!

You really don't want to know Dave......

Good job on the Glowing One!!!! It's particularly nasty, and that's always a good thing.

@Dreadclaw- Brother Vinni from Russia already makes and excellent Tesla Armor among other things http://www.brother-vinni.com/index_eng.htm

Not a fan of Fallout so I don't recognise the source but that glowing one looks great. Nice pose with subtle GS work and a cool OSL effect.

Agree with the above - the glowing one looks awesome!

This makes me sad, just don't like it? or never played it?

I only played FO3, not New Vegas. I just didn't get on with a few things in it. I can see it has it's merits though and I think it's just personal preference. I really liked STALKER and Borderlands, a darker post-apocalypse and a brighter post apocalypse respectively.

Should try Fallout 1 and 2 (and Brotherhood of Steel - while not everyones cup of tea, certainly my favourite )

Fallout 3 was fun and all, and I enjoyed it a lot, but only probably on par with the older ones, if not outshone by...

Still - this whole thread is great.

I think you either love or hate FO:3, it was my introduction to the Fallout series, so I love it. New Vegas seems strange to me because I haven't played 1&2. It's a shame Bruticus, I'd like to see your terrain interpretations of some of FO:3's landmarks and buildings, but If you're not into it...

Sorry I always expect everyone to know the Fallout creatures

Here's a shot of a 'Glowing One' ghoul




And mine again just for comparison =)

I made his skin darker to show off the glow better, and only focused on the belly glow to keep the OSL simple.


Thanks everybody for the comments, and next in the fallout line will probably be painting up my deathclaw.

Oh my sweet Lord Emprah! This blog was a joy to read! As a fan of both Fallout 1 and 2 and even a bigger fan of Fallout 3 (I still can't believe I spent around 150 hours in just one char), your work has been nothing short of amazing. The first post, the brotherhood of steel was a bit meh, since they still looked a lot like Space Marines. Don't get me wrong, I still thought they were very good, just not very Fallout. But ever since then, I have been blown away with the quality of every single mini and how much they resemble the ones in-game.

I do hope you use them to play some skirmish games. With miniatures like these, it's almost a crime not to.

Keep up the great work!

P.S: Will you consider another Brotherhood of Steel attempt? They are such big symbols in the Fallout universe, I think you could create even better ones now!

You're making me want to play fallout again!

Thanks TDL for the comment =)
I agree and think the BoS might need a redo sometime in the future, I have some ideas for modding the helmets but I have no idea on how to do the shoulderpads easily. Anyone got any ideas?

Its funny Cave how long its been for me too, I haven't played the game in ages, I guess I should for inspiration. Call it homework =D

Thanks Vik for the link thread full of awesome Spartan great stuff love the use of different parts and box sets subbed so much to say don't know where to start will do later

thought you´d love all this stuff here

Here are two models I promised to make my little cousin for his birthday

He asked for a pirate with two swords and a shield on his back, and a zombie archer with a magical glowing skull. I think he will be pleased =)

I initially tried to make them a quick job but I became quite fond of them, and will be sad to give them away






I also made a mini display box for them for him



Cheers for looking

Could your cousin have meant a zombie with a flaming skull as his head?
I like your painting, and the miniatures too! I'm deciding on whether I should buy pirate-esque miniatures to paint and I think after looking at yours, I will!

Also, your OSL is really nice, but perhaps the glow from the source could be highlighted to white to make it even brighter?

Cheers!

Haha no I was talking with him, he wanted him to have a magical object hanging from his belt, i suggested a glowing skull and he agreed =)

Cheers for the idea I might add some brighter highlights

Your cousin should be proud mate, I like the zombie and the skull works well, is it the life force for the zombie.

Nice work on both TS!

Mate haven't been "on" for a while but that Glowing One is awesome, so nicely done...was kinda expecting a bright green zombie but the subtleness of the glow you've used there is spot on!

Thanks Ghost Dave and LDD =)

Bit of a random mini today, I decided to make a Yoda-like mini for a Starwars roleplaying game. He turned out looking like a grumpy shopkeeper so he is a bit of a cross between Yoda and that flying alien junk trader from episode 1 Watto. Thus his name Yaddo!

He will be painted with green skin.



He is made from GW parts apart from his head which is a major conversion from this mantic ghoul head:

HA HA LOVE IT, I thought you had used a beastman head at first ,Yaddo looks like some kind of KungFu master but I guess thats about the same really.

cool!... that yoda is quite convincing... the face redo of him is quite substantial and very good looking...considering what you worked with it is almost unrecognizable...

Have great deals for you, I do!
