Hi Chris,

I am a skilled miniature sculptor and maker, alas working today in the automotive industry.
I plan to quit this job and set up a miniature company manufacturing among others things, models based on top Strategy and RPG games.

Since I really loved Fallout Tactics, one of my first models would be the BOS enhanced power armour, 100mm tall!
But I also used to sculpt and mold Warhammer like models, perfectly suitable for Fallout Warfare

I wrote to Interplay to ask their licence and copyright policy on this matter.

Some time after, I found this forum, and be pleased to see that many geeks around are looking for such products !

If you have a personal feedback about this project, let me know

Hi Benoit!

Check your geekmail for the contact info of the person you should contact next. Interplay doesn't have the rights to Fallout, but Bethesda does and they might be able to help you.

Good luck!
-Chris

PS: 30/40mm would work better for me, too. ^_^

I'd love to see power armor from the Fallout series but unless I was a strict collector i'd never buy a 100mm piece of work. A 30/40mm miniature would be large enough for detail and the cost wouldn't be that prohibitive. I'd love to see Deathclaws (non hairy version), Giant Scorps and even Fallout's take on Pinky and the Brain. good luck on it all

Setting up the game - up to begin. All squads take positions! Tank supported by the box of matches?

I've got a Fallout dvd collection in the "Size Matters" math trade right now!

Comes with fallout 1 and 2 plus tactics, bonus material including the Pen and Paper game, Fallout Warfare!

Also, I was very skeptical about Fallout 3. Why change the graphics, why change the POV, why fix it if it ain't broken.

But the screenshots so far do look pretty cool, and I'm sure the music, sounds, writing and humor and attention to detail will still be there.

Also, combat can be pulled out from 1st to third person, and combat can be stopped to aim, inventory etc...so yeah, i'd rather them keep it just like the other games, with better programming, updated graphics and bigger universe, but i really think part 3 will be fun and enjoyable.

Also, the book "The Road" is post apoc...great book, though not funny in the least.

Hi there, hope you're still checking this post.
By the way, I wonder why nobody has replied you earlier, since you have a nice list of Fallout inluences. It's small, sure, but I think it holds a certain value!

It's "Damnation Alley" (the movie. I'll get the book) that brought me here. It sure is campy and aged, but the Radscorpions and bugs prove that it was an influence (and having George Peppard and Jan Michael Vincent as both heroes is great!).

Mentioning "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" is a nice addition, too. I guess you played the game. If not, you should, it's a masterpiece! And it got me to read lots of Ellison's other stories - good stuff. By the way, you could've mentioned "A Boy and His Dog" (story and film), since it is absolutely post-apocalyptic. In fact, I think it deserves its place in your list more than "I Have No Mouth".

"I Have No Mouth", along with "The Outer Limits" episodes written by Ellison "Soldier" and "Devil with a Glass Hand" are more the origin of the "Terminator" movies, in my opinion. After all, Ellison went on trial with James Cameron about those two episodes and Terminator's plot. And he won, so it's true! And I think the supercomputer "AM" from "I Have No Mouth" is direct inspiration for Skynet. But I'm just speculating...

Feel free to share more info, in those times of speculations and fear over Fallout 3, it's valuable!

I really would be interested in helping flesh out a fallout minatures game ruleset. I've even gone so far as to modify the old ruoge trader ruleset to play fallout themed games. if their is any action on this whatsoever I will work on it. as others have stated, the fallout setting is is a personal favorite of mine.

I second what Kevin said. I loved F1 & F2 (especialy F2 as I'm from Nor Cal and know many of the settings. As a mac owner I couldn't play F3 but I love the whole setting (Post holocaust is my favorite setting {except for Lord of the Rings}). I look forward to it, a LOT.

hehe... if he's the same Chris Taylor thats listed on the lower right, front cover of the game, I'd hope so.

I know this is an old topic but I just found out about this game.. err.. this version that is. The PC series is one of my most favorites. I'd like to see this version get spruced up a bit.

Chris,
I would absolutely love a more fleshed out version.

The Fallout universe is 3rd only to Middle-earth and Star Wars in my book. Actually, I probably like it more than Star Wars.

I am eagerly awaiting Bethesda's Fallout 3. I hope they do as good a job as they did on Oblivion.

Do you have any say in the making of it?
