I've seen many awesome Fallout related props on the internet, including weapons, complete armor sets and much more. I might try to create something like that one day too (hopefully ) but I decided to start with something quite simple - iconic bottle caps, that are used as currency in this post-apocalyptic world. I've seen many designs utilising printed tops or hand-painted tops and I decided to go for the first method, as it's easier and some of the more complex details would be almost impossible to replicate properly. One thing I didn't like much about many handmade Fallout bottle caps I've seen is that they looked brand new, as if they've just been manufactured. I know that even in-game caps look quite intact compared to the rest of the environment and stuff, but I think that after laying in the wasteland for 200 years, they should look dirty and rusty - so I tried to make them look so. I made bottlecaps of several different brands, including most of the canon Nuka Cola caps and Sunset Sarsaparilla. I know there are more canon bottlecap types, such as Gwinett beer bottlecaps or some more Nuka Cola types (the amount of them doubled or tripled with the release of Nuka World DLC I guess ) however, I wasn't able to find any picture of sufficient quality of them, so I didn't try to make them. Same goes for Nuka Cherry, I have found several different variants of the bottlecap design for Nuka Cherry, but I'm not sure which one is canon and the one that I tried to print wasn't very good (the writing kinda blended with the background and it didn't look very nice) so no Nuka Cherry cap here as well, unfortunately.

I took some used bottle caps, scratched the logos off of them using sandpaper, painted them, glued the logo on top of them, made them look dirty with some more paint using paper tissues and then I covered them with a layer of polish so that they are more shiny and also to protect the paint from peeling off.

Favs and comments will be appreciated!
