Viva Las Segas

Close-up of my Pip-Boy 3000 replica. Took me about a month total (after work & weekends) to get as far as I did on it last year before Halloween. I am currently working to add LEDs to the front, and a working knob as well.

If anyone out there is interested in constructing one, I am totally willing to help with whatever advice you may want. I would also appreciate any prop-building tips!

I just want to get it looking good for Dragon*Con. Anybody out there going this year?

Viva Las Segas is written by Stephen Lester, an intermittent obsessive completionist currently on a mission to fill his home with vintage video games and video game memorabilia, with a large focus on his favorite consoles and games made by Sega.

Stephen has been traveling to comic conventions since the age of 6, and in the past few years has gotten into the costuming aspect of conventions. Most of the costumes and props made are inspired by the video game series Fallout.

Pictures (unless noted otherwise) on Viva Las Segas are originals taken by Stephen of his games, collectibles, costumes & props, and self, as well as other randomness found relevant while out.

Favorite video games include:
Fallout 3 (360)
Portal Series
NBA Jam (Genesis)
Wrestlemania X-8 (Gamecube)
Any FMV game (Digital Pictures!!!)
Final Fight, Golden Axe, & just about any other 2-D side-scroll beat-em-up
