Alright, little bit of an update on the modeling side of things. After being slightly disappointed with the Fallout Anthology Mini Nuke, I decided to model up one myself. I had actually tried using the game mesh for the "football" portion of the nuke, but it was really hard to work with for such a simple shape. So, using eight circles, I modeled the football looking part from scratch, matching up each circle tier to the game model.
I even added the little turbine on the back. The turbine model is not mine, I downloaded it from thingiverse and scaled it to fit in the back of the nuke. Gonna pin it on so that it will still spin (by finger of course). I hope to start printing this bad boy up soon, but should probably wait until I've caught up with some other projects first.
Other than that, I've been working on a Needler Pistol from Fallout 2. Here's some WIP renders:

As Fallout 4 draws near, it's still business as usual. Just got done modeling and printing this for a client, the Needler Pistol from Fallout 2.
Also had some time due to a rainy day this weekend to paint up my Nuka Cola Clocks. Just need to clear coat and re install the clock arms and mechanism.

Did you use an existing clock for that? I was eyeing a bottlecap clock at Hobby Lobby thinking it might be perfect for that.

Yup, got one of them at Hobby Lobby. One is a "Beer O' Clock" clock and one is a "Man Cave" clock. The Man Cave clock is the one without the rim, and looks more accurate to the Garage scene from Fallout 4's trailer.
Great minds think alike then. :lol

Modeling the Bomb Collar from F3 and New Vegas. Pretty much ready to start printing it. The inner lining will be foam, for the wearer's comfort. Rare earth magnets will attach the two halves together.

Started modeling this a while back. Finally got it ready for printing, the 12.7mm SMG from New Vegas. Top magazine will attach via rare earth magnets.

Thank you good sir! I'm really happy with the bomb collar. Eager to see if they have bomb collars in the new game.
Which arrived today, in fact.

Its going to be for my Advanced power armor MK II costume I plan to finish by mid next year
Here's an older 2d mock-up drawing for the side of it, I'm shooting for a mix of the new vegas 12.7mm changes and the old school 14mm front loading magazine/details
The slide will function with a lock-back design, magazine can be removed, wood grips, the works!
I've been CNC milling out props for a while, ranging from revolvers to axes, but haven't posted here since my first prop lol, I should start making my own thread sometime.
I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Well, after weeks of intense gaming, it's time to get back to work. I played the living hell out of Fallout 4, clocking in about 350 hours of gameplay, spread through two different playthroughs. Certainly a lot to love about it, although I had a lot of complaints, many of the same complaints I'm sure you guys have already experienced or heard about.
But complaints are unimportant here. Here is where the prop building is done, so I'll carry on.
I absolutely had to make the new Mini Nuke. I actually find it's one of the few things that changed for the better, although honestly both versions still look very much alike. So, naturally, I begin with modeling it. I've done just that, using the original game model. What do you guys think?
Here's the original model renders. I've noticed there are actually two different textures the new game used, this is the more 3d looking texture. The texture shown when you examine the item in your inventory is very 2d-looking, and it's difficult to tell exactly how the details are. The texture I used, as seen in the pic, gives more conclusion to the details and highlights the raised bands that go across the bomb's main body.
I've been long overdue to print my Fallout 3 mini nuke model, now I'm even more excited to print both versions out, and have together for side by side comparison. I plan on beginning the printing for both nukes on my M2 this weekend.
Aside from this, I'm nearly finished modeling the new T-51 helmet. Updates on that will be on my Power Armor helmets thread, though.
As for things that actually pertain to this thread, I'm just about done with my Frag Grenade kits (Fallout 3 version).
As noted before, model courtesy of lilykill. I printed the model up, mastered all the pieces (all pieces not shown), and have been slowly cold casting the pieces up. Just need to finish up my mold for the top lever. I hope to be painting soon, looking forward to hanging up some grenade bouquets. The cold casting makes them nice and heavy, too. They feel very realistic in my hands. This was certainly a fun project to work on, for sure. I'm quite satisfied with how the brass casted end pieces are turning out.
I'm also finally nearing total completion on my first Ballistic Fist. All I really need is a couple rivets and the glove. I hope to be completing it soon, as it's already pretty much done and detailed. Still have not started on the other two, though. That's the trouble with doubles, you make the first and sort of fizzle after that. I hope to find some time soon to finished them up. But, with all things, I'm making more crap than I have time for, so everything drags out for a while.
Anyhow, more to come soon.

I love the frag!!! The F3/NV grenades look so much better IMO.
After the mini nuke you have to do one disassembled:

Yup, it's already set up for that as well. The parts were divided exactly like they show in the factory, the only thing I would really need to do is tweek the main football portion of the bomb so it splits into the three pieces.
What really has me interested right now is the Suicide Bomb the super mutant throws at you. Most people think he has either a regular mini nuke, or a nuke mine. But he doesn't, it's a whole different model and item. You can never equip it, because if you kill the super mutant before he can detonate the bomb, he'll just have a regular mini nuke for you to loot. But, if you have the ability to look at it in his hand, you can see it's a different bomb altogether. Below is the game model for it. I'm having a hell of a time trying to find the texture for it, and there are not any real pics of it online yet, so I have no real reference at the moment. But that was on my list of things to model and print, maybe even make it light up with the flashing lights. Other than that, I'm keen to make the nuke mine as well.
