Cans!

You can recycle them into ammo..IF you have the skill!

That's bloody awesome!

You're really making me want to do Fallout stuff again.

Haha! They are easy enough to make, considering 2 hours ago I didn't know how to make them
But I think I'll start with half a dozen or so, then figure out the best way to paint them!
For now though..I think it's time for a victory Pizza and beer!

Well deserved, looks brilliant. Yet again Theo's mad box of tricks pulls one out.

Nice job Dave, works a treat

looks amazing!... if you are really daring... then slightly dent a smaller diameter of the holepunch on the lid...for that extra texture

Dave if you need more bottles let me know RSJake hooked me up with more than I could use a ways back and I can send them your direction.

I'm not sure if it was covered, but Nomad was a costume Captain America wore in the 70's, if I'm not mistaken, when he gave up being Cap.

Then in the 80's, when the government took the Captain American uniform from him, he became the US Patriot for a while.

EDIT: Oh, and great work on those building, Dave. I am beside myself with how great they all look together. Although... the sidewalks all have different colors. (Pedantic, I know.)

Haha! Val! I realized that too! I'll spray them all with Badger Fur, which will rectify it!

Thanks Theo! But my Vending Machines were the Mighty RSJake's inspiration for sculpting those, as a result, he hooked me up aplenty too!

Such a wonderful community we have here in the P&M section! Our online footprint will be Legend...

...wait for it....

Dary!

Sheesh, i go to work one evening and I miss 3 pages? WTF?
Nice overview shot dave, but... but... The graffiti building, should it not be there as well? I think it'll fit thye style, maybe it needs a sidewalk, but still...

This community developed because of threads like this.

Bloody awesome work Dave talk about capturing the essence, the pieces together are looking like a table that would make me want to start playing

Nice trick to make cans Nice idea Theo shelving turned out well

Now build a window cleaner those are bloody filthy

Absolutely fantastic, you are a very talented modeller !

Can I ask where you obtained the Fallout miniatures shown previously?

Would YOU walk out onto a window washing rig that had been hanging for 200+ years?
THanks LDD!

Thanks Pacific! I assume you're talking about the BoS with the minigun? It's based from a Brother Vinni "not BoS" figure, I thought his minigun was too short for my tastes, so I built the minigun barrels from scratch and used Zinge Ammo belts. The rest of my Fallout Miniatures are from MANY different sources, and most are heavily converted. Brother Vinni (from Russia) makes the best BoS, Super Mutant, and Enclave miniatures out there IMHO though. The Super Mutant Behemoth is a Dark Age Mongo with custom Corvega Door shield (really as big as a truck door) and custom shopping cart backpack/slave cage.

Great solution to the cans. Look good.

Thanks!

YES! That totally rules, Dave! Cans look good, bottles look great!

So lets get this straight Dave has a great rack and nice looking cans

As for the 200 year old widow rig yes probably done dumber things before.

Compliments that could ONLY come from you LDD!


I think we can call this one finished

Good job Dave.
Looks like there's nothing useful on those shelves, although you still have to check, have to hope the safe inside has something good.

Toilets may be available soon.

Your shelves look like the local CO OP on a bank holiday weekend

Have you considered adding some kind of debris or rubbish to the pavement ?

Thanks! like what LDD?
I don't want to impede miniature movement too badly.

Sweet

Definitey looks the part, great job Dave.

As for street debris, maybe some litter close to the building walls, shouldn't get in the way too much there, possibly a few patches of sand on the pavement, but I agree you want to leave it fairly clutter free for gaming purposes.

I think you guys should look closer

I usually go through and use things like newspapers, fallen posters, flattened pizza boxes, smashed cans, and some lumber type bits (nothing too thick though). You can use location specific items as well like a knocked over chain link fence, fallen down signs as well as stuff like blown out windows.

They are thin enough that you can place miniatures on them without them getting off balance but they break up the monotony of bare pavement in the post apocalyptic urban environments. Although not fully inline with the environment you are recreating - things like weeds growing up through the cracks in the pavement are also pretty useful for showing age and neglect.

As my good man monkey said small collection of dust and crap at the edge of the walls, maybe some kind of paper rubbish laying across the pavement which would not be bulky and impede miniature movement.

If you mean "like what LDD?" concerning my CO OP remark I will explain, when we have a bank holiday ( usually a monday of none work for the country or most at least ) the local supermarket gets raided so the shelves end up emptied.

Oh I know you've got grit'n'that up against the walls, was just channeling my inner dog

But maybe add a couple of cans or bottles too

I'm afraid there's been no pizza in a couple of centuries

I demand a Twinkie as an objective/loot. It could be hidden between the rack and the wall as it fell back there decades ago and no one saw it

Let my Twinkie go!!
