Fallout Vault boy Bobblehead with Pipboy

#1 Post by Awen »

After a 4 years of having to quit sculpting and having no time to sculpt due to having to sort my career out I'm finally...well nearly back on track and happily back sculpting...I really missed it!... Here is my first sculpture :D

A friend of mine loves the Fallout games and collects the Bobbleheads. He asked me to make him a Bobblehead which is just the Vault Boy using his Pipboy.
I'll be casting this little dude in plastic too, complete with the 'spring' bobbing head. I'm hoping to eventually get in place a green LED and light up the Pipboy screen too.

He was pretty easy to cast being so simple, It was a nightmare trying to make the head wobble with the spring and for his head to sit in place correctly....but I finally did it.

Hi Jonas, Yeah I'm selling a couple of them, I'm not sure if I should sell them pre-painted or so people can paint them themselves though!? Would you be interested in one?

Hi guys, sorry for the late reply, I can sell the Bobbleheads unpainted and unassembled for $30 each which also includes post and packaging too. Just Pm me your Paypal email address and I'll send you an invoice. I will post them within 5 days of receiving payment and I'll let you know when it's on it's way too.

I think that's everything.. if not just let me know

Hi,
My Vault Boy arrived today and looks terrific. He's definitely jumping to the head of my To Do pile. :)
Thanks!
