50227 Astro Girl as the Nuka Cola Girl

[Rat13]

An old friend from college is finally getting married so in addition to their more traditional wedding gift my wife and I decided to make them something as well. While my wife opted for a nice cross stitch wall hanger, I went my usual route of miniatures. As luck would have it I even pulled the perfect miniature from the last round of the Box of Goodwill.

 

Since I first met him my friend has always been a fan of Fallout, way more than I ever got into it. As a fan he owns all the games, has some Fallout wall art throughout his house, and even owns a large bucket filled with bottle caps; like I said he's a fan. So as a bonus wedding present I decided to paint up Astro Girl as the Nuka Cola girl.

 

This being a present I even attempted some simple eyes, a step I usually ignore.

 

I think he'll get a kick out of it and who knows my handiwork may even get a spot on the mantelpiece right next to his bottle of Nuka Cola Quantum.

   Awesome.

 

  It's always cool to be able to paint up a mini like a character from something - especially if they're not specifically intended to be a no-really-it's-not-X....

(A few years back I turned Sir Forscale into a homage to DC Comics' Adam Strange with a similar rocket pack and pistol.)

Rad in every sense! She's a great sculpt and this is a great paint job.
