A fan’s dad brought the iconicFalloutPip-Boy to reality, and it actually works. The Pip-Boy has been in Interplay, Black Isle, and Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPGs and shooters since the very firstFalloutgame, and has remained a series staple since then. The fictional wearable computer was lovingly re-created in reality, down to the radio stations and Vault Boy animation.
The awesome creation was shared on Reddit byscoobydoobiggestfan, whose dad made the wearable.The recreation uses a 3D-printed shell, which was also created by the Redditor’s dadusing theFallout 76version for reference. The build also references the Pip-Boy phone app.
The Pip-Boy is actually wearableand can be booted up. The entire creation, from the coding to the printing and designing, was created by scoobydoobiggestfan’s dad, who makes game items like this as a hobby.
The Fallout Pip-Boy Recreation Is True To The Games
It Even Plays The Games' Music
The real-world build of theFalloutPip-Boyuses a small computer that runs on a Raspberry Pi. When it’s booted up, the Pip-Boy shows the loading and initializing sequence followed by a display of all the different functionalities. A large knob on the side of the computer toggles between tabs, which show the temperature, player’s status, and a GPS location overview. Unfortunately, these aren’t actually functional. Rather, they’re just pre-recorded images and videos, though that doesn’t make the build any less impressive.
A Rare, Unmarked Fallout 4 Location Is A Cheeky Nod To An Iconic TV Show
A hidden Fallout 4 location contains a sly reference to a classic TV sitcom. Here’s how to find it, and why it matters to the rest of the game.
The Pip-Boy build even includes radio stations from the game, such as Diamond City Radio fromFallout 4and the Classical Radio that appears inFallout 4andFallout 76.The stations actually play music, and the PIp-Boy contains music from everyFalloutgame as .mp3 files. The real-world Pip-Boy creation was based specifically on the version inFallout 76.Fallout 76is the earliest game in theFallouttimeline, taking place just 25 years after the Great War, so the computer model seen in that game is one of the first versions. The game uses an even earlier, pre-war Pip-Boy 2000 Mark VI.
The iconic series wearable has seen some changes throughout each title, but the core design has stayed the same. The Redditor shares that their dad was inspired to make theFalloutgame Pip-Boy in real life after watchingAmazon Prime’sFallouttelevision series. Fans can message scoobydoobiggestfan on Reddit for a link to their dad’s Etsy and eBay stores, where he creates models from various shows likeBattlestar Galactica.
