Pip-Boy 3000 Progressionby ~Darksamu

Artisan Crafts / Costumery / Props & Accessories

This is the progression of a mini TV, cardboard, and Model Magic into a Pip-Boy 3000. At times it was a bit rough and I wasn't sure if it was going to work out, but once the paint went on, it's value as a Pip-Boy went up dramatically. I really should have picked a sturdier material because the Model Magic doesn't take well to photo shoots and I've had to do some creative repairs. At least it's only been on the bottom so far...

I really am going to learn to stick to one background and one camera next time I document a process.

Here's just the Pip-Boy.

Looks like you put a lot of work into it. Really amazing

Thanks!

Nice! Another medium which works well for this sort of project is Sculpy but that requires baking. In theory you could build the shell, bake it, then attach it to the arm-cuff and television. It would be a lot of work though, and to be honest I'm not entirely sure how feasible it would be in the end.

but, its an idea, maybe you'll get some use from it!

~Darksamu Jul 20, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

I've heard a lot of good things about Sculpy, so I'd definitely like to experiment with it. Thanks for the advice!

This looks too awesome!
Everything about it looks just like the one from the game!
Just one question!
Any idea where I can get one of those mini TV things that you used for the frame of the Pip-Boy?

~Darksamu Jun 27, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

I know this is super late and all, but I found the frame at a garage sale, which was pretty lucky. I'm not sure if they even sell things like that anymore, but maybe some thrift stores or second hand stores would have some. Good luck!

how do you paint the rust effect? Id really like to know

because I am struggling with my dart gun and my own pipboy

~Darksamu Apr 10, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

Mostly, it's a lot of layer. I start with a base of whatever color is the underlying metal that's rusting, and then I start with a lot of different colors of brown. Usually, I started with a wide area of a light color (usually brown, but I did a little light green as well with the Pip-Boy), and I work my way down in darkness and varying areas. I tried out a few different tools to paint with and found that my really messed up paintbrush work well. It had become pretty frayed and spread out from all of my stippling during this, but it helped create a random effect. Otherwise, I found sponges worked pretty well. After the next week I may have some more time on my hands, so I can try to do a demo or something if that would be better for you.

Hey thanks for your reaction! thanks for the explenation as well

if you could make a tutorial of it that would be even more awesome! I'd love to see a demo.
My pipboy has to be finished next saturday, but hey ^^ I still want to create an AER9 Laser Rifle and a lot of other things that will need some rust on them.

Thanks
