    Foam Pipboy 3000 (from Fallout) Tutorial

    Cool, how's it coming together? I'm just about done with mine, I am still going to do a few things with my screen area but for the most part it's about 99% finished: In Pic 2 I was trying to show off the LED lights, sorry for the blurry shot.

    Foam Pipboy 3000 (from Fallout) Tutorial

    Did you carve out the back to fit your arm? I've been toying with a few ideas on this too. I'm thinking for the version I'm working on I'm going to use a tight kneepad (as the bracer) and Velcro (the way I'm setting up the battery will make it hard to get to if I glue it). It won't look as...

    Went to another radio shack and found a whole other box of goods, ended up getting a 4 AA battery box with a switch, so I've taken a break from the crafting and been playing with LEDs the last few nights.

    Foam Pipboy 3000 (from Fallout) Tutorial

    I began working on my foam pipboy yesterday, I've got the the whole thing craved out but now I'm toying with all the ideas of details to put into it. Does anyone have any idea where some people get the meters for the top left area? Sam, when would you recommend installing the wires for the LEDs...
