Fallout props Bobby Pin Tin

Hello all

I am back with more Fallout props this week. This time it is a bobby pin tin with bobby pins!! not that i know how to lockpick lol.

This is just a small tin which i roughed up with sandpaper and then i coated with black gesso. The gesso didn't stick too well to at the start but as it peeled and i added more layers of paint, it gave it a battered look. The next layer of paint was burnt umber and then i added texture past to the edges so it looked like rust. Then i painted of the quinacridone gold paint before printing off the label and grunging it up.

When painting the tin becareful not to add too much paint to the parts where the tin lid meets the bottom as it will make it hard to open. I had to sand the paint off so it will shut.

Fallout Themed Altered Bottle Caps Nuka Cola, Nuka Quantum and Sunset Sarsaparilla.

Hello all

I am back with another set of props from the game Fallout. The various games use a few different currencies to trade goods and caps are one of the main currencies from the series whether they be Nuka Cola or Sunset Sarsaparilla. 

DecoArt Multi-Surface Paint in Red Hot,Dark Scarlet,Cobalt,and True Blue.
Bottle caps
Sand paper
Caps print out
Circle punch 1.5 inch
Strong glue Best Glue Ever
You can find all the caps printouts here https://www.deviantart.com/emptysamurai/art/Sunset-sarsaparilla-caps-202580432

Print out the caps using this sheet.

 I sanded the caps with sandpaper and then used DecoArt multi-surface paints.

I used two shades of red for the Nuka Cola and Sunset Sarsaparilla caps. This is so you get a grungy layered look when you sand back a bit of the paint.

I used a 2inch circle punch to get the tops of the caps round. I the sanded them down a little to distress them.

I used a mixture of Tim Holtz Vintage Photo and Tea Stain to get the grungy look.

These are from Fallout New Vegas

Fallout Game Props: Canned Food Pen Holders

Hello all

It is the start of my Fallout game props series.

 Learn how to make these Fallout themed pen holders using Best Glue Ever and a lot of rust. If you haven't played this game before it is basically a first person shooter with RPG elements. Based in a post nuclear future yes it all sounds grim but it's a lot of fun to play and it has this cheerful futuristic 1940's theme underlying the story. 

So slap on that pip boy and lets explore the wasteland.

You will need a few clean cans. Paint the top and bottom with brown and black patio paints and leave to dry.

Next print out the labels. I had to fiddle around with the size to get it to fit but you can print two labels and stick them together. I just cut them out and crumpled them up. Next i used a make up sponge to apply distress ink over the top. I just layered up the Rusty Hinge, Black and Vintage Photo until it looked dirty. I roughed the edges and created small rips in the paper.

Apply the Best Glue Ever over the back of the paper. It takes a bit longer to dry so you  have time to position the label before it sets.

Next  paint the top and bottom with another layer of black paint and then apply the texture sand paste. It doesn't matter if the paint is slightly wet as this adds to the grunge.

 

Once it has dried, Paint on the Quinacridone gold over the texture paste. You can add a little water to tone down the rust colour.

You should get something like this once all the layers are on. You can just keep adding layers of paint until you are happy with the look.
