Let’s say I love fallout…

Getting ready for Fallout 4!

I really enjoy the game, the ambient, the story and how big the world is. Visiting that world is exciting and fun, you can get lost for hours and travel the world just enjoying being in the sunshine.

Specially after playing with Oculus, playing becomes really a thing from a different world. It is like being there, inside the game fighting that monster. I just need to sync some fan to the game and it would be the closest to real fallout without going to Chernobyl.

But there is something missing. Something that would connect me to the real thing. Yes, I have a Pip-Boy, but it doesn’t feel physical enough.

Today I will just show you what you can accomplish with a little bit of spare time and a normal printer.

One can basically start with just the raw file from the video game. You will have to convert it into a format which Pepakura can open. If there is interest i can show more of that progress.

After that it is a matter of selecting the right cuts and printing into paper.

I started using paper with a 160g self-adhesive paper but it was really difficult to put together. It is fine for something small but when you get BIG you need something stronger and with better adhesive, so for later models I moved into 200g A3 paper.

Basically you need a couple of more things apart of the paper and the printer. Some glue, a paper cutting mat, and some cutting knives.

After that, patience!!! Lots of patience, it is just connect the numbers and get glue dirty.

Here you can download the PDF to create this armor so you feel safer while in the wasteland!.

I can provide the Pepakura files if anyone is interested :).
