Awesome handmade New Vegas statues

The models are both pretty awesome but the paint job on the Ranger is better. Also noticed that she's drinking Coca-Cola instead of Nuka-Cola.

You just compared computer designed citadel finecast miniatures painted by a big team of painters from a multinational corporation to one bloke and some tools.

The Games Workshop community has some insane artists amongst them so it's a fair enough statement. I'd also point out that these statues are 27cm (Vault-Girl) and 28cm (Ranger) tall whereas those models he posted were probably less than 10cm tall, the first probably closer to 5-6cm. I mention this because the detail work is a little rough by comparison.
 
Also her eyebrows look completely off to me. They're just wrong.

And the ground doesn't have nearly enough sand on it.
 
I think shes sexy as hell in that tank girl, really not sexy, but kicking ass sexy, imperfectly perfect sort of way. Unless you're just being sarcastic.

Not saying that it's not awesome work, just elaborating on why some folks may be less impressed than others. Now that I look at her again I really see a old ceramic model/sculpture quality there and I think the paint style does it. I think that the artist was going for that style (which I hadn't thought about earlier) but I can see not liking it. Taking that into account, the ranger should be faulted more for the lack of super fine detailed painting than she should be.

Looking at the Mini-nuke again, it's quite awesome, as is the barrel on the Vault-Girl model.
 
As you have said, there is more than one style when painting miniatures/statues. Just because the Warhammer painting community has decided that ultra detail if what fits for there purposes doesn't mean it's superior to everything else.
 
yes it is how could anyone think something else!

Jus as how first person is superior to everything else that is thrown at us. CANT YOU SEE IT DAMN! you're so damn old school.

People forget that warhammer figures had a time where "detail" was not everything as well.

The statement is clearly:
I'll take this 6 shooter over some dumbass mini-nuke dreamed up by bethesda. Right?
Anyway I'm sure the nuke itself needs some form of arming in order to detonate. Who in their right mind would develop a man portable nuke to be carried into a battlefield if it was unstable to the point of not being able to rest ones foot on it. The things would more likely all be duds after 200 years, rather than become unstable. I'd make a coffee table out of 4 of them.

Americans would develop something like that.
They actually did, the mini nuke does exist. It packs a little more wallop than the Bethesda thingy, though.
It's called the M28 Davy Crockett.

Yeah yeah, we all know about the Davy Crockett. It has nothing to do with why the Fatman mininuke launcher is retarded.

And that wasn't his point: I would assume that the nukes DC fired would not be primed all the time.

Did someone just mention the Davey Crocket again without reading the article and noticing it's blast radius is slightly more than the 5 feet of the mini nuke and needs a lot of set up time?
 
the davy crocket was a desperate weapon with the fear of Russian attacks like in Berlin where the troops had no hope to hold the position as they would be simply overrun.

Using the weapon was even dangerous for the shooter considering the shockwave and radiation. A change of the weather and you would suddenly find your own position polluted with radiation from the dust. The weapon was seen as a failure already back then.

as a fan of warhammer by games workshop im not impressed. --->>>





far smaller, more detailed, better painted.

For the prices that Games Workshop demand via threat of embargo, I'd bloody well hope they're more detailed than some fan statues.
