How to Make a Real Working Pip-boy 2000 - Phase 2 

Have you seen the new working die-cast Pip-boy for sale on Bethesda's store?

@@YourGeekFix I saw your video on them roughly 3 or 4 hours after makin this comment. Depending on what metal they use, if I can talk my wife into not pulling Lorena Bobbit on me for buyin one, I’m now sitting here thinking “ok, the light corrosion is a nice touch, but I can either cerakote the metal, or blue the steel like I would a rifle barrel.” Aluminum and stainless steel doesn’t blue… and would necessitate cerakoting… but if it’s some form of carbon steel I can blue it, and depending on conditions bluing can take on many different shades, everything from midnight black to the standard gunmetal grey, to just about anything between. I’m rather fond of bluing, because no two bluing jobs are the same. Bluing polished steel to the point it’s like a mirror can come out looking like black chrome, or it may take oddly to the bluing and may not get an even blue, so it’ll be darker fading to lighter bluing… gives whatever I’m bluing a bit of personality that cerakoting just can’t do. That said, cerakoting is far more protective… it’s a ceramic paint, so naturally it’s more scratch resistant too. But name brand cerakot can be a bit pricy… that said it’s totally worth it.

You could wait to buy after watching the video we have coming out. Chris said they will not be selling out. This is just to know how many to make. @@codyralston1372

@@YourGeekFix that’s fair, though I’m looking forward to seein all the functions this one will have.

​@@YourGeekFix it's not limited?

Thanks

Sorry to hear that.

Thanks!

@@YourGeekFix Not a problem! Best of luck with the build and have fun with the cosplay...convention. I forgot which it was but I'm excited for when the future installments come out.

@@orellinvvardengra6775 thanks

That would be cool

Awesome!

45 minute video

@@YourGeekFix huh?

@@bongocat401 it will be 45 minutes. So, worth it!

Understood

That still sounds fun.

Go to the local hardware store and look for small Edison bulbs. You can easily light them.

Spare parts for me to test the Geiger counter build and possibly making a new one.

Where did you find spare parts? I've been making the buttons momentary switches and I've broken one of the small frames and lost one of the red buttons

Yes!

Yeah, and the radio kit.

That’s weird I didn’t have one in my kit

Lol! Darn it the sock puppet.

try? Describe what you are asking.

@@YourGeekFixI think he misspelt tray

@@maskedTNT OK

No, don't drink or do drugs, just sound that way.

@@YourGeekFix looked and sounded a little tired st the end of the video compared to the beginning. Thought I'd ask. In retrospect it seemed a funny question at the time. I must have been tired too.

I did

Did you see video 3 with all the details?

@@YourGeekFix on my way

@@kl2g84 cool!

I just bought one for 35

42:53 yeah, I gotta follow your advice and try my luck.

Do what I did, offer them less.

@@YourGeekFixthanks! I managed to get one for 150$ I messaged like 8 people and no one went for it.

It was awesome! I have a whole video coming out on it.

@@YourGeekFix have you ever tried to get the time rollers to work on your recent attempt?

Ok, I take that is a no.

I could try again. @@Indykathoris

@@IndykathorisNo, that was very hard. The wires are the size of hairs. very intricate.

Ok

Nice job 👍

LOL!

Sorry.

I didn't really notice

​@TheEvilRU-vid listening now from a different device, it still seems like it's less of a volume issue and more that the back track is a bit busy. It sounded worse with studio monitor headphones, sounds pretty good from my phone's speakers.

@@sethborne that would explain why I didn't notice then, I'm using a crappy old phone myself
