Don't you still have it?

XBox 360 broke a couple of years ago. I traded it in.

YES! I'll send them to Galorn and he can facilitate populating wastelands all over the world!!

Never any toilet paper, or even hangers in the Wasteland!

Useful reference shot there Dave.
The internet is surprisingly bare of FO toilets, found a few but not any good shots of the back/side (hint hint )

I really need to get FO working on my computer...

I'm not sure toilet paper would last 200 years.
Doesn't explain what happened to the holders though...

Surely they use the 3 shells?!!!

I don't see seashells either

Nope, no three seashells

Occasionally I've found skill magazines on the floor near toilets, No wonder you only get +1 and can NEVER read it AGAIN!

Always found Magazines a bit glossy, bit like that greaseproof toilet paper you get in public conveniences. Now a good Almanac, now you are talking.

Sorry.

Indeed.



I guess they apparently just used vault dwellers....

Where do you think the grime on the grimy pre-war Businesswear came from?

The little details that failed to get in there.

Dave, awesome work on the Fallout ruins! Seriously good stuff! And that billboard is the gak. I used to design and hang those things and have a special love/hate relationship with them...

Re-subscribing.

Cool stuff, all around.

Woah Dave I never noticed that either, and I have almost 400 hours logged on that game. That is crazy.

Dear DSteingass,

This is all really quite inspiring!

Whilst we are on the subject of scale furnishings, I wonder if anyone might be aware of a good source of scale clothing? Most doll's clothing is too large by an order of magnitude.

With Kind Regards

Do you speak about cloaks or hats to be hanging from chairs or coat hangers? Or do you plan on clothing your minis? The latter would be a job for GS, the former would be good if you use tissue cut to size and then strengthened with PVA.

Dear Vik,

I'd like to create lines of drying clothing to hang between my hab-blocks

Kind Regards

The Guern

Postscript: Sincere apologies for any derailing

Hey Guern, I seem to recall reading an article in an old Wargames Illustrated where Herb Gundt made a clothes line with scale clothes hanging out - if I recall correctly he simply cut the clothes out of paper or tissue then coated in pva to get them to hang with creases...

Dave, the city is taking shape, interior detailing for the win

Thanks ruglud for the recap of my earlier comment...:p
(Note:I currently have a bad and very annoying day at school...)

Vik, get back to your studies...

So guys...
Concerning toilets and stuff... About what height should I make them. Do I calculate in the bases of models, or do I try to stay as true to scale as possible?

Think with me on this one, and I'll do some interior stuff for the league to mess around with. I'm sure galorn would indeed be able to cast it all.

@ Galorn: Does it matter what product I use for castings? Will regular air-dry clay work, or must it be green-stuff?

So toiltes, right? Sofas, chairs, got them covered... Anything else usefull? I think I can do closets too, but I think someone with decent plasticard skills can do them better... easier to cast too, and maybe even loose doors so you can open and/or close them.

I think I have galorn's adress, and i do have a couple of days off coming up... I need to get my Model-fu back anyways... Been slacking ever since the move, the hospitalization and my sort of DQ in the latest contest. This might be a good reason to get back to the hobby in earnest. For one thing I slowly feel inspiration coming back at me...

@Maus- Just standard to any normal 28mm mini.

The claw-footed bathtub, standard toilet with separate tank, and a pedestal sink would be an amazing start!

The reason there's no good toilets in the future I they were all taken into space....or marines used them

Marines can crap their suits for all I care, toilets are for people, not post-humans

3 short hours of work, then it's home to download the FO3 GOTY edition on steam. You see what you guys have done to me? And for some reason, I loved FO3, but could not get into NV the same.

You will embrace NV when the time is right for you

Enjoy an Ice Cold Nuka Cola for me Val!

I prefer FO3 to NV for some reason as well.
That's not to say that didn't enjoy NV (I didn't clock up 329 hours for nothing) and there are bits I prefer from NV.

I think I just got more into the character of the vault dweller compared to the courier.

Or it was just that it came first and I knew what to expect when I started NV.

Or it was the greater feeling of freedom at the start of FO3 (after leaving the vault). I like (when starting a game like this) to completely ignore the main quest and just go off wandering and NV kind of forces you to follow the main path (in that going north from where you start is basically suicide).
