I have a few more pictures. First up are a Nuka-Cola vending machine from Fallout, as well as a weapons vending machine from the video game Borderlands. "You can never be too rich, too good-looking, or too well-armed."

Next up are two more vending machines from Borderlands, one for medical supplies and the other for ammunition. "Want to shoot a lot of bullets really fast? Vladof has your needs covered!"

Also in this batch of minis are a unit of Protectrons. The miniatures are not an exact match, but they are close enough for me. In fact they aren't really miniatures at all, they are toys from the Z-Bots line from the early 90′s, aka Taskor.

Last up are a set of Fallout Fire Ants. These fellows were a bunch of plastic ants I found at a five-and-dime store. I added lead fishing weights to give them a little heft and there you have it.

Many thanks again to Jamie at Pictors.

Beauty! Love the use of the ZBOTS Taskors as Protectrons.

Nice Protectron.

Now hold them still whilst I fish out my EM pulse grenades.

Sorry I missed your questions back in March. The ants I purchased were much bigger. The bases they are on are 30mm.

These are closer in size (if not the exact same)…
