Fallout Stimpak and FO76 Silo Code Launch Piece

[TheAtomicSoul]

Since the first image I saw a picture I wanted to make one. So I did!
I made one for my nephew, and another for an order, and now I finally get to make one for myself!

WIP of my current make.

Also making a Stimpak.
I decided to make it for a mold from the start, so a few things will look odd with it at first.

Nice silo code. Did you use multiple layers for the numbers?

On your StimPak I think the top wire spots are a bit too high up by just a few degrees. But otherwise a good start. I have a few reference photos on my StimPak project page. I also attached a front reference image below.

The numbers are printed in white resin; I designed it in a way that the light produces a glow based on the numbers and screen.
(Though thinking about it now, I may redo it so the screen lines block light instead of passing it through)

Checking, you are correct; they are a tad bit too high.
I've already printed it and ready for a mold though, so I'm a bit too late on that.

Also posting to show a little remake I did of the texture.

Since there are two wires, but four holes, if you just use the lower wire points it probably will look fine.

Your texture looks great. Here is the artwork I came up with (I planned on printing it in white, and then coffee dying the paper)
I can output a SVG vector version if you want it.

I'm going to try to get it printed on matte photo paper so I won't be doing any by hand work on it afterwards. Just a little less work that way.


Since I've already molded the base, I went ahead and made a cast of it.
(Gray part is the cast.)

Spot the differences!
I reprinted the meter section; moved the wire holes to the right place, added a couple small details missing from the first one, increased the nuts size to make them more visible, and increased the debt of the meter hole; I'm looking to make it so you can put a LED behind it, lighting the meter up so it's visible in photographs.

Stimpak Test Cast
Ran a test to see if a new method of coloring the cast would work; I think I can say it's a success.
Got to get some Silver for the next one!

I've got a couple minor adjustments to make, but am overall pleased with how the Gauge will light up!
Once I get the correctly colored decals in the LED won't seem as bright but will add a nice dimension of detail in photos!

 

[TheAtomicSoul]

Sorry for the delay folks~ a lot has been happening, but I can't talk about it. :3

I wasn't happy with the mold for the Stimpak, so I've reprinted the parts and am going to remold them. Hopefully this will solve the issue I had with the last ones.

Nice silo code pieces!
