Working Pipboy 3000 replica

[pkmnjunky7]

This is a Pipboy 3000 I just finished up. I've seen a lot of people build these with a static image on the screen, but I wanted mine to actually have all the different menus. I built this with a generic 3.5 LCD picture frame I found on ebay. I took pictures of each individual menu screen from the game and loaded them onto the frame, and then installed small tact switches for screen control. I installed a magnifying lens over the screen that I scavenged from an old slide viewer. It also features an audio amp with an input jack and controls installed into the handplate.

Looove it. I'm a huge fan of the Fallout series. Only thing that coulda made it better is if you used a rotary switch in the place that looks like it'd be a rotary switch to change the screens.

I now really have the desire to get a Pipboy replica and put a Raspberry Pi in it or something.

I can honestly say this is the coolest thing I've seen in the past 10 minutes.




Seriously. Nice.

Holy flax, I saw this on Reddit about 3 hours ago when I was sitting on my phone, bored at my sister's house.

Jolly African American done made the frontpage.

Darn cool. Didn't we talk awhile back about some arc reactor casts?

The lens over the LCD makes this. Awesome work.

Great work! I would just love my own pipboy.

I also wondered about hooking that LCD up to an xbox 360/PC to actually play Fallout 3 on your real life pipboy. Hehe
