Summary
AFalloutfan has built a miniature version of Megaton out of model planes. The build is surprisingly faithful to the in-game version of the town, and has impressed numerousFalloutfans with the effort and dedication to the project.
Fallout 3’s Megaton is one of the first places most players find, and presents the player with one of their first moral quandries of the game. The town of Megaton was built up around an undetonated atom bomb, which sits in a crater in the center. Players have the opportunity to take on various quests where the fate of the bomb comes into question, or they can simply act upon it of their own volition. Depending on the player’s choices, thepeople of Megatonmay end up in a much safer situation with the bomb fully disabled, keep living the way that they have, or the player can blow up the bomb, destroying the town and everyone in it.
Reddit user and miniature builder CraftyRic has shared their rendition ofFallout 3’s Megaton settlement. The town has been built using model plane parts, and has been created with incredible detail. A brief video shows players around the town, starting at the guardsman’s post at Megaton’s gate, which even features a moving plane turbine. A brief scan around the miniature reveals minis standing in for town citizens, and familiar locales like Moriarty’s Saloon are present. CraftyRic says that the build is incomplete, and that they plan to show off more once it’s fully ready.
The Fallout Megaton Build’s Impressive Accuracy
Falloutfans have been extremely enthusiastic about the creation due to its similarity to the game and the effort that it took to create. Fans particularly like the fact that CraftyRic went through the trouble of building the town with model plane parts. It’s a clever tribute to the real origins of the town, which was constructed using stripped parts from planes that were abandoned after the bombs fell. Several have also been curious about the fate of the miniature, telling CraftyRic toblow up Megatonas a final tribute to the creation. The OP has mentioned doing so if they get enough upvotes on the post, though it’s hard to tell if they’re joking or not.
Fallout 3’s Megaton is an interesting place. While there are many more locales in the game that are more important to the Lone Wanderer, Megaton quickly introduces numerous realities of the wasteland world to the player, like the existence of ghouls, chems, andthe Children of Atom. However, otherFalloutlocations have caught CraftyRic’s interest in the past, as they’ve also made brilliant miniatures of places like Diamond City fromFallout 4and a Red Rocket Station. Whether or not they blow up the model, it will be interesting to see what this talented fan comes up with next.
