So today I decided to try out one of my Citadel contrast paints on a Dogmeat miniature. It only took about seven minutes for me to get a way better base layer than I ever would have with my usual set of paints in any amount of time.
Those eyes look great!
BoS Paladin. I’ve deemed it necessary that in order to entice me to play the game more, I should paint more BoS guys for me to fight against, since I haven’t really painted any since the patrol box last year. Four units is a bit to small of a force for me to run a fun fight against. I’ve decided to jump right in and get the T-60 models out of the way, since those will probably be the most fun to use in a battle.
Fun fact: the silver T-60 on the left was the 7th miniature I’ve ever painted. The Paladin I finished tonight is currently the 38th.
Oh wow, I love the markings on those. Great work 
Nice job on the Paladin’s wrist symbol and darker armour colour!
Wow, these are amazing! I especially like the jump from 7th mini to your 38th! They look fantastic!
Paladin Danse. I think I used too much blue wash on the armor, and he turned out much darker than the other BoS paladin I did.
My apologies for not uploading anything these past few months, I’ve been rather busy with Animal Crossing and homework. I’ve got two more T-60 models to paint so hopefully I can get those done before the Enclave wave comes out and I inevitably wind up devoting my full attention to painting those.
I like the conversion for him, a head swap is a great way to get a different pose to change things up a bit 
No need to apologise for not uploading much recently, we’ve all got other things in our life besides this hobby Looking forward to seeing those other T60 suits painted!
Any tips on how you did that minigun conversion? I’m hoping to do something similar with a set of T51-B.
I just took the hands (and the left arm I think) from the crouching T-60 model from the smaller BoS patrol squad pack. The minigun is from Ack-Ack’s model, of course.
Pariah Dog from Fallout 2
I like how you used the tuft to give a little bit of variety to the look of the base, so it’s easier to differentiate the two when relevant (in addition to the subtle differences in tone for the two dogs).
Ronnie Shaw. I always thought she had a very boring design, so I decided to do two things different to try to spice her up a bit. First was I gave her a darker colored uniform as opposed to just the boring old OD green fatigues she wears in game. The second is the gauss rifle I swapped her laser musket out for. It was originally one of Anvil Industry’s “tesla rifles”, but I cut the tube off and glued on the crank handle from Ronnie’s original laser musket and a muzzle from one of the super mutant pipe rifles. It wound up looking absolutely stunning, and I think the lens of the scope in particular really ties the whole piece together.
Her face wound up looking a lot younger than I intended, which I guess is neat too.
She looks great and I love the Gauss rifle conversion
Brilliant conversion work!
Leather raider #1. It’s a shame we only got three of these leather jacket models, cause they look really good. Leather jackets are pretty integral to fallout and wasteland fashion in general, you see them being worn by basically everyone in the first two games. I think one or two additional models later down the road would be a welcome addition.
The jeans were pretty hard to do since I didn’t have just a regular old denim-colored blue paint on hand, and I can’t exactly go get one since everything is still supposed to be closed down on account of covid. I had to paint a layer of my blue wash over a near-white base to get the proper color, which wound up being really annoying to try to do since my blue wash never spreads out very well, and I kept finding little patches of white that the blue wash apparently didn’t feel like covering, so I had to re-apply tiny individual drops of the blue, and smear it in such a way that it didn’t stand out from the rest of the pants. The end result, after applying the brown wash afterwards, looks really good in my opinion. That blue wash is just so much of a hassle to use though.
Yeah, the only thing we’re missing for the perfect FO1 / FO2 post-apoc leather jacket look would be 1990s ginormous shoulder pads! 
Seriously, though, I I love the retro “motorcycle cop” leather jackets as post-apocalyptic wear. It makes me wish I could have a model of the FO2 Highwayman to put a leather-jacket-wearing raider next to, to complete the look.
Light artillery cannon from Wizkids. I finally caved in and bought a pair after seeing them as part of the huge shelves of Wizkids stuff I see at my local game shop. Always thought they’d make nice terrain bits, or even as actual artillery you could use in-game. Kinda wanna go track down a howitzer model for something a bit more up to date, now that I think about it.
Well, it looks great and isn’t a far stretch… Museums from FO3, the flying boat from FO4 (I forget the name) or the civil war Fort from FO76 (probably get in trouble for mentioning this one 
) could all be sources for a scavenged cannon like this.
