Fallout Wasteland Warfare Painting Progress

Had to take a break from painting as the new Raider faction showed up on my doorstep needing assembly so I figured I’d go over them.

Wasteland Warfare models are Resin (with the exception of the starter set models which are PVC plastic), not as hard as say Forge World or other sources but not so bendy you have to worry about the parts warping if you leave them in the car.  All figures come on a single sprue or multiples in the case of more complex models including their base.

I just want to highlight one of my favorite things about these models, the bases.  Every model comes with a unique textured base, complete with Fallout themed items on some (caps, Nuka Cola bottles, the larger ones even up to a Red Rocket piece).  They are grouped in similar themes in a lot of cases (wasteland, city, train tracks) and really add to the value of the figures imho.

As these are Resin models I started off by cleaning them in soapy water with a toothbrush to clear off any mold releasing agent that may remain.  This helps to insure proper glue and primer adhesion.  I have had 0 problems with paint sticking to the resin models, in fact the PVC ones gave me more trouble.  I then cleaned off the flash.  These tend to only have minor flashing and mold lines easy cleaned off with a hobby knife.

I then assembled them using standard super glue, not model cement.  I am currently using a Loc Tite brand as it has a super fine tip and easy to control bottle.  These models really have some great detail and capture the look and feel of Fallout.

As I am focusing on painting NPCs for my RPG these will immediately go to the head of the painting queue, and are as of this typing almost done, I should have my next update in the next week or so.
