Wiseman - Fallout 4 Inspired Ghoul from the Slog

Wiseman (The Slog)

By day, a steady ghoul leader. By night? Let’s just say the rads kick in different. Wiseman’s figurine captures that “end-of-the-world, nothing-to-lose” energy that pairs perfectly with moonlight, tarberries, and bad ideas that start with "hold my Nuka Cola, watch this!"

Why merely survive the wasteland when you can print yourself the residents of the wasteland? This is a Fallout 4–inspired 3D figure, celebrating bold personalities, questionable life choices, and gloriously irradiated charm of the NPCs of the Commonwealth.

Each figurine was designed with the assistance of 'advanced' AI modeling. uh huh. Extra toes? Missing fingers? Unexpected mutations? That’s not a defect—it’s authenticity. In the radioactive future of Fallout, perfection is overrated, and mutation just means more realism. AI is kinda like a Painboy...you never know when you'll get an extra head sewn onto your torso so you can scream in horror at each other.

You may notice some graphics on the printed models. I searched on Google Images for various Fallout 4 images: magazines, product labels etc. I printed them on an ink jet printer, cut them out using an X-acto knife and glued them to the model. Turned out really good. The trick is that I used Mod Podge. I coated the area on the model that I was going to put the image on, then pressed the paper image on that spot. I gently smoothed it into place with my finger. Worked great!

The future should look this good—even when it’s horribly broken. ☢

Generally I print these models with a 0.4mm nozzle, PLA (usually white or grey), 8% infill and tree supports. A word of caution for models with thin details: I usually tilt the model on the print bed to level the thin part so it prints “properly." For example with the Alien Invader, the arm with the pistol might print poorly unless tilted about 20%. I suggest tilting Oswald so his sword is vertical; Magnolia so the mic stand is vertical as possible; Piper so her reporter notebook is vertical; and Nuka Girl so her pistol is vertical. I think you get the idea.
