So yeah, I played Fallout 3, and I loved it. Then I heard that there was a Pipboy 3000 prop in existence. Being a prop maker/ collector, you can imagine my enthusiasm...until someone told me it was a clock. That really didn't bother me to much, so I picked one up for about $30 (thanks eBay), and thought, 'this will be at the most, interesting'. I got the prop in the mail, and unlike most people, mine worked pretty well. I got a decent paint job, the batteries held a charge forever; overall, not to shabby. But it still wasn't a 'real' pipboy. I thought to myself 'I could do better.' And so I did.

Currently, I'm working on getting all the buttons to do what they're supposed to (right now I have to open the unit whenever I want to press any buttons), but I've at least gotten the screen to work, which is much more than most people trying to build one of these can say.
Enjoy, and I'd love to hear what you think/ suggestions.
