Summary
A talentedFalloutfan online has created an amazing Vault Boy diorama, which features a bunch of interesting details from the wider franchise. TheFalloutfranchise has plenty of instantly recognizable pieces of iconography, but Vault Boy might be the most popular of all.
Falloutis among the most popular franchises in all of gaming right now. Bethesda’s games in the long-running post-apocalyptic RPG series have been extremely successful, while the TV adaptation released earlier this year brought the franchise to a much wider audience than it had ever been exposed to. This has resulted in an extremely dedicated fanbase who love to pay tribute to the franchise in different ways. For example, there was oneFalloutfan who made a custom Brotherhood of Steel LEGO set, complete with Liberty Prime. It’s interesting to see how individuals with different talents choose to pay homage toFallout.
Redditor ucdzombie shared their impressiveFalloutdiorama, which they made part of their friend’s retro computer. The piece itself is a stunning two-level diorama of aFalloutVault, complete with lighting. While they didn’t create all of the 3D models in the diorama, they did put them together to make the scene as a whole, before 3D printing them and painting the scene. There are some cool details here that fans of the games are sure to recognize, like the power armor station and several of the Awesome Tales magazines fromFallout 4.
Fallout Vault Boy Diorama
At this point, Vault Boy is synonymous withFallout. The cartoon image of the character with the outstretched thumb is instantly recognizable as being part of theFalloutfranchise, which is why he appears so often inFalloutfan creations. There was even one gamer whoturnedRed Dead Redemption 2’s Arthur Morgan into aFalloutVault Boy, in a particularly interesting crossover.
It has been six years since a new game was released in theFalloutfranchise, and nine since a mainline entry. Bethesda has been busy over the last few years withStarfield, and it is set to be occupied for a while yet withThe Elder Scrolls 6. That makes any mainlineFalloutgame unlikely for the time being. Even the success of the TV series doesn’t appear to have kicked anything into gear. Earlier this year, it was revealed that once upon a time,Baldur’s Gate 3developerLarian was interested in making aFalloutgame. It would be interesting to see if Bethesda approaches another third-party studio to continue the IP while it developsThe Elder Scrolls 6.
