Where as this is NOT a 28mm project, it is the last thing I have built, all be it some time ago. As such I thought I would add it here. This is the Mk42 Mini Nuke from the game Fallout. This is as close as to 1 to 1 as I can get. I modeled it in TinkerCad, printed it up on my Ender3, sanded forever, primed, sanded again, reprinted, sanded some more, color coat, sanded yet again! (See the theme here?) then I did the weathering. Wheoo! This was a great deal of fun to create and I learned a lot about new materials, finishing, and weathering on a bigger scale. Please let me know what you think!

A small update. Still prototyping. These photograph well but in person I am not quite sold on them. Playing with the amount of grout used. Thoughts?

No new construction, just playing around with the Arizona sun this morning.

Decided on a final material and technique.

Working on the roof tiles and additional detailing of bits and bobs.

This is the start of the painting of the frame and the brick. The frame is designed to lift off the foundation for gameplay purposes as are both roof sections from the frame.
