Re: NCR Veteran Ranger -A work in progress-[Pictures Added 10/20]
I'd like to show off something I have been doing. I went to Big Lots recently and found a few old Halloween signs that light up with Christmas lights for two dollars. The front graphic was busted so I removed it and made my own custom sign. How I did this was take two layers of thin plexiglass, painting the first red with a stencil of the lettering in reverse behind the glass and painted the back of the glass red. I then removed the stencil and frosted the other piece with sandpaper and painted it white on the front. I found the plexiglass in the trashcan at Lowe's and the paint was $1. So overall I made this for $4.

@Red Lion-Great work on the suit man! I beleive you are a member of the Wasteland Outpost (which is still undergoing much needed maintenance), I am LIBERTYprime on that site. Your sculpt came out great and I look forward to seeing your MKII.
@Cal- Those are some nice props you have there! I have quite a collection of fallout props myself. I really like your Nuka sign. Everything is coming along great and your combat shotty is off to a great start! Top notch! :thumbsup

Thanks much, Ya Red Lions helmet is awesome. I liked the Wasteland forum on facebook, I'd like to join as soon as it is back up. Can't wait to see nothing but Fallout props in one forum.

That armor is great. The styling is very similar to the Cobra Commander armor I wanna have built.
BTW what weapon is she holding?

Thanks for the compliment. Just get you some poster board and cut out a design that fits your chest then go to work on the mats themselves cutting it out with a big exacto, and it sands really nice as well.
The gun is a Nerf Longshot that I turned into a shotgun . Then put an all copper and steel construction inside so the darts will leave a welp on you lol. I also used a few Ironman pieces that didn't turn out as I had hoped, so I just waste-landed them up and no one even noticed.

The results I got weren't exactly as I had planned. It did work to an extent, the eyes lit up and they were 100% reflective, you couldn't see anything through them from out to in. The problem I had was that due to the rims around the lenses being so damn thin, the light source leaked out through the plastic itself.
An easy fix, I was just going to reconstruct the rims of the lenses from apoxie sculpt, figured that would stop the light from bleeding through.
As usual with me though, I got caught up with more important stuff and before I knew it, it was Christmas.
I'm back working on it now though, I'll keep you updated
Sorry for the, hold on a sec......carry the 1........4 month overdue reply

How did you attach the bottom half of the helmet to the top? I am getting ready to work on a Ranger myself and for some reason that is what I'm stuck on - I'm curious as to how you assembled yours for getting it on and off your head.
Great build, too. The coat looks awesome and the weathering on the armor is wicked!
