While I’ve mostly focused on Wyrd’s plastic limited edition models, I couldn’t help but track down a Miss Pack once I started playing as Resurrectionists.
As a metal model, Miss Pack comes attached to a standard tab for a slotted base. Since my Resurrectionists are in resin bases, I trimmed it down. But the feet are a small target to drill a pin into. Instead, I left a bit of of the tab and drilled a matching hole, filling the gap with green stuff. It makes for a much more durable connection than just gluing the feet would have made.
I’ve been playing Resurrectionists for a while now, and what master of the undead would be complete without a swarm of unthinking zombies? Not me, anymore, anyways.
Mindless Zombie (arrows)
Mindless Zombie (suspenders)
Mindless Zombie (torso)
Mindless Zombie (hulk)
Mindless Zombie (spike)
The paint scheme here is pretty simple, as befits their cheap minion status. I did go for some dripping red blood on some of the wounds. I’m not quite sure the mechanics of a bloodless gray-green flesh that somehow still holds fresh, bright red, blood. But hey, it looks pretty good, so let’s not think about it too much.
The AI-driving creatures of Fallout is one of the more intriguing parts of the game. So I had to have them, starting with these robots.
Assaultron (ready)
Assaultron (lunging)
Assaultron (skating)
Fortunately, all five models included in this set are distinct poses. The Assaultrons are all suitably dynamic.
Protectron (standing)
Protectron (walking)
The Protectrons, in turn, are more lumbering.
By the time I was done weathering, the robots lost most of their color. Someday I will learn the lesson to oversaturate early and trust it will be more muted by the end.
Unlike the starter set models, the standalone Fallout models are made of a hard resin. It holds much more detail and is easier to clean up mold lines. The Survivors core box is split, four named characters and four general purpose.
Each model has a specific scenic base, with holes placed to match pegs on the models’ feet. To make it easier to paint, I glued the sprue of each model to a temporary base, only gluing on arms, etc, as needed. That way I could paint the base separately, and reunite them later.
Mama Murphy
Preston Garvey
Ronnie Shaw
Sturges
The four named characters all have nice differentiation, though I think Sturges has the most character.
Scavenger (aimed)
Scavenger (pistol up)
Settler (rifle)
Settler (shotgun)
The Scavengers/Settlers include two repeats from the starter box, though of the nicer resin material. I would have liked to see distinct poses.
