Pip-Boy 3000 (Fallout) build, start to finish! Plus my Fallout 3/New Vegas collection

Wow, I'm away for a little bit and see what I miss lol. To answer the questions in build order,
The gap is pretty good out of the box, but I did get into a bind when I sanded a little too much myself at one point, just slow steady hand sanding got me back to square.
No problems with the inverter in its housing space wise for me, I test mounted it in a bunch of areas before finding the sweet spot though!
For weathering I love to use acrylic paint, thinned down with water to a milk like consistency dab it on generously and then wipe and blot off the excess with a clean rag. This wash leaves the color in low areas for depth and also you can choose how much to leave on the surface for grime/dirt. I used black and raw umber for this.

I got one of these from Skruffy a couple of years ago duringone of the christmas exchanges-- I honestly didnt know what the heck it was. Now that I see, I am probably going to convert it to a predator gauntlet!!

That PipBoy is outstanding!!! Nice job!! I really love your collection/display too!
 
I got the kit from Skruffy on here, do a search for him or Pip Boy 3000 in the classifieds and it'll come up! Can't recommend the kit or Skruffy enough!

Thank you for the compliment! I am really happy with my Fallout collection, HUGE fan of the games!

Gorgeous work, how did you do your weathering/wear and tear effect?

Also, I want to snuggle your cat... in a not weird way.
