NEW PRODUCT: Threezero: 1/6 scale Fallout T-45 NCR Salvaged Power Armor

to be honest i prefer the bulky look of 4's power armor over the simple suit look it had in 3 and nv. there are even several mods out there to switch them into new vegas' engine. gotta say them and the deathclaws look way better, the same can not be said for the ghouls and super mutants though

and personally i'd prefer something sub par and maybe salvageable to "nothing".
i shouldn't complain since i get something out of my 3d printer in terms of items and weapons but when it comes to clothing my skills fail miserably.
and printing armor without to many seams can be quite a pain. so right now i'd kill for a set of fallout 1/2 armor like metal or combat armor. as for head sculpts, considering you create your own character you can go for any substitute really that comes close to your ingame appearance.

by the way, i'm not sure the headsculpt from the figure will fit on every neckless body without having that giraffe effect. i can look it up for you later if this interests you.

cheers

what about the other way around?  Which HS brand would fit threezero Power Armor body?

this is in fact something i cant answer, for i display both my figures with the helmet on. i would suggest though that none of the regular neckless heads would sit high emough if, and thats a big if, the diameter itself would fit.
years ago i broke a coo model neck peg, which is internally attached to the body, i fear the damage here would be similar.
what i remember from various bodies, there were "rings" as accessories, never knew what they were for.
but i'd like to think if you got a head with neck you could slide a few of them rings over the threezero peg and give it enough friction to keep it in place.
as for the brands i personally own, hot toys, coo model, kaustik plastic and aci, the neck often ends a bit below the ear/jaw line so there'd be a gap if the balljoint would pop in.
again, wild speculation on my part, i might be terribly wrong.

okay here´s a small edit :
these pics aint mine but they show quite well the visible head of the sculpt down to the collar of the vault suit


i think with any neckless sculpt there´d just be an unsightly gap in certain poses.

another example :


so far even their own sculpts from the game of thrones line seem to vary. for example i find a lose sculpt of the hound with a modeled neck, whereas eddard(?) stark comes without one.
same as this one, with the neck adapter having the opening straight at the bottom of the separate neck.


sorry i can´t give a definitive answer on this one

hmm.. was thinking of using HOT TOYS HS on these because hot TOYS HS game is top notch, especially the female characters

Now I am hesitant to PO this badass armor

i wouldn't bet on it fitting without modifications like building a neckline with some greenstuff maybe and painting it in the same flesh tone. the main problem would still be the size of the balljoint.
this is one reason i got two fallout figures in tandem, one out of the power armor, vault suit, pip boy and all. and the power armor with helmet on, pretending the character to be inside.
tbh, entering a pa ingame makes all your backpack and armor pieces vanish and clip through during the animation anyways, so i could pose vault dweller opening the pa via the back valve.

oh that's cool. Can you share photos of your 2 fallout figures in tandem?

sorry for the late reply. had some work to do around the house and my mancave right now is cluttered with work in progress stuff.

here´s a collection of different stages of my fallout diorama, it should give you an idea of how its going to look when finished.









when i get some time to clean up my stuff i´ll post a complete set of pictures, right about now parts of the diorama are disassembled to prevent "shelf-diving"
plus letting the figures sit on the painted underground for to long makes the paint and foam stick to their feet, very annoying.

best regards

That’s pretty impressive. I like the rubble and weathering details.

my thanks.
the rubble is, well.... real rubble bought some wall tiles in a hardware store ages ago that mimicked cobblestone quite well and had some similar colored small stones in a jar as decorations.
but i ended up switching the real stone floor for painted foam, for the idea of expensive figures tumbling onto a hard surface gave me quite the worries. switched the buildings in the meantime as well but have thus put the project on hold.
i seem to be a worse hoarder in real life than in the games themselves, for i pile up 3d printed weapons and only have so many figures to display them with quite the conundrum
