I looked up an image of the mini nuke from in the game. I would make the large ones countersunk. Looking at the image I cannot tell if the others should be pan heads or countersunk.
This is what I was looking at: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Mini_nuke_(Fallout_4)
Yeah, I'll be countersinking the bottom (biggest) row of screws. Just need to thicken the walls so I have enough meat to drill into for there to be a countersunk hole. I'm able to rotate the model around in Noesis and get the shadow effects going, and it definitely appears that the top row of screws on the nose (smallest) are not countersunk. The middle row and bottom row look as though they are indeed countersunk. Ultimately, it's what's best for the two lower rows as they will "seal" against the surface better, since they are going onto a rounded surface. The top ones are so small it doesn't really matter.
I don't think you'll really be able to tell from the texture exactly "what" kind of heads the screws have. I basically eye balled everything and took measurements that would be ideal once I had the print in hand, and chose the screws based on the head diameter to try and match it as closely as I could. The screws I'm using are indeed pan heads and not countersinks.
I actually have the Fallout anthology mini nuke if you need any pictures of that.
Thanks for the offer, I actually have an Anthology nuke myself. Unfortunately it wouldn't help much anyways, the Anthology nuke is nowhere close to accurate to the F4 nuke. It resembles the F3 nuke a lot, and even then is not an accurate representation.
