Fallout 3: Bottlecap Mine

Bottlecap Mine, a Fallout 3 weapon made out of a Vault-Tec Lunchbox, a sensor module, a cherry bomb and a handful of bottlecaps. Very powerful and also suitable for overkills in The Shady Sands Shuffle style.

Build notes:
This one requires a little more than just papercraft skill, as it needs wire for several of its parts (handle, antenna, colored wires). The best kind is a 1mm wide aluminium wire, for the colored ones it's slightly thicker.
It's good to build the main parts (lunchbox, sensor module, handle), then wrap them by the duct tape and finally add the details. The handle holders should be a little longer than what's in the model, otherwise you might have trouble getting your hand under the handle. And don't forget to reinforce it.

Height: 243mm (with antenna)
Difficulty: 7/10

Included are lined and lineless PDOs, also a set with outline padding.

Model and textures made by Bethesda Softworks.

TESLA 427A Poezia

A 1962 radio receiver manufactured by TESLA, a Czech electronics company. I have a fondness of older electronics and I felt like making one. Designed this from the scratch. The model is entirely mine. Textures were created from photos, courtesy of the receiver's owner, Padza.

Build notes:
This papercraft is relatively easy and should look good with some reinforcing of the biggest areas. I recommend completing the front and back parts separately, then connect them using the side and top parts. Finally, close it up with the bottom piece.
