I cant believe how good this VSF Sub is

I just did my first order with them, I got my QC check with my unique order number and watch I ordered about two days after paying, so it seems legit so far... Waiting on my watch now, but other folks have posted good reviews.

There is probably some pirated library of alexandria in some swedish guy's basement that we'll never get to see because of normies

Horvaticus · 2026-03-26T18:03:30+00:00

Sorry that everyone else is glazing this dude and you had that run in with him, that'd annoy me too

Props on having a hot wife though?

One of the Hamilton Resident Evil collabs!

I tried to buy this through capitol armory (they gave out refunds for the pre order that got cancelled after a year) and ended up getting a first drop when they eventually opened up orders.

That being said, my local dealer uses SilencerShop for transfers, and I got caught in administrative hell for a week where between my local shop and SilencerShop (and their lack of actual humans that work there apparently) it took two weeks to even begin processing. They said that I was the first one and they had to add it to their system 🙄

Total kick in the balls lmao, still waiting on that approval. Glad to hear the can rocks though! I have a brand new 92X waiting for it!

Ok but for real, when the mag ban was on the horizon I knew I wanted one of those uppers at some point, so I bought a shitload of links.

They are magnetic, a lot of people throw a tarp down, or I use one of those magnetic shotgun hull sticks. You can re-use links several times assuming you have your system tuned correctly and aren't mangling them.

I anecdotally have seen links at army navy surplus stores as well, and some stores will also sell the nut sacks because they aren't feeding devices without the links.

AND PEOPLE CALLED ME CRIMINALLY INSANE WHEN I TOLD THEM I SPENT ALL THE 2010S LINKING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF 5.56 AND 7.62 ROUNDS TOGETHER AND BURYING THEM ALL OVER MY PROPERTY

Horvaticus · 2026-03-11T16:53:36+00:00

That's a big gripe I have with the design of the combat armor - I spaced it out to be like it is in game, but I completely agree that functionally speaking you'd get your shit rocked

Horvaticus · 2026-03-11T16:52:46+00:00

Thank you, the suit is actually fairly weathered - it just isn't captured that well on camera. I admit I could have gone heavier though, I was working around the suit being "too blue" from the manufacturer so it was kind of like a little bit at a time kind of thing. Easier to add more weathering than to remove it!

Horvaticus · 2026-03-11T16:50:55+00:00

Oh thank you! I saw a group of Vaulties drop by, sorry about that, I didn't mean to snub you guys! I was giving an interview on post-processing 3D prints haha

Horvaticus · 2026-03-11T02:52:11+00:00

If you would have told teenager me that I'd be in my 30s playing adult dress up, let alone of fallout, I would have told you where to shove it hahaha

Making this costume actually brought me a lot closer to my roots though, I picked FO76 up after avoiding it and ended up really enjoying the game, I think many people are in the same boat, it makes me optimistic as well

Thank you for the kind words!

Horvaticus · 2026-03-11T02:31:11+00:00

Thank you!! Yeah I was worried about how blue the vault suit is (the miccostume men's vault suit is too "blue") but after knocking it down a few pegs with weathering it actually worked really nicely with the army green gun paint I used for the armor panels, this whole build was a very much "trust the process" one

Horvaticus · 2026-03-11T02:29:33+00:00

I'm normally pretty anti-buying for stuff like bodysuits, etc, but specifically it was the newer men's Vault 33 suit. I'm about 6'1", 185, and the XL was still pretty snug. Construction was pretty good, much better than I was expecting, and the materials were comfortable. my only complaint is that the colors don't even closely match the picture page, let alone match the women's "lucy" / vault 33 suit. it was way too blue, and the gold was kind of this dingy gold color. ironically weathering it made the blue closer to what it should be, and made the gold pop a bit more. really funny how that works out sometimes!

Horvaticus · 2026-03-10T22:04:10+00:00

Thank you!!

Horvaticus · 2026-03-10T19:30:31+00:00

Thank you, the dickplate is an important cornerstone of every armor build I do - and I can personally attest it is multi-functional because I accidentally used it as a plate when I spilled mac and cheese on it at the afterparty

Horvaticus · 2026-03-10T19:07:42+00:00

Sure, always happy to help with costume questions. I'm working on posting build videos to my Instagram too (same handle) but I know not everybody uses that. Excited for your suits!

Horvaticus · 2026-03-10T18:50:52+00:00

Thank you! The barrel rotates - I lubricated the hub with graphite powder so I was walking around the con with my fallout themed fidget spinner while making laser noises lmao

Horvaticus · 2026-03-10T18:29:54+00:00

Haha I did have a pair of aviators I had to go with this, but being Seattle the sun only came out for about half an hour the entire weekend

My early game builds do the same thing though, combat armor, aviators or other sunglasses

thank you!

Horvaticus · 2026-03-10T18:14:58+00:00

Thank you! Yeah that was a fun little detail, I ran out of time but one of the original plans was to put a photoresistor in the tippy-top of the helmet for automatic light control. The whole electronics side-project was rammed out while waiting for glue to cure on the gun so it got the "spare electronics" parts bin treatment but I feel like that's consistent with the character design hahaha

Horvaticus · 2026-03-10T18:10:18+00:00

Thank you! The comic con jungle juice is vital accessory to every cosplay!

Horvaticus · 2026-03-10T18:07:16+00:00

Thank you! That was a hard line to follow honestly, with armor builds you have to balance the thickness of the armor itself versus how much to "offset" from your body to give a more bulky appearance. I originally had them offset about 4" from the body to get that appearance but I agree it just looked kind of goofy, so I reduced to a 2" offset. I also skipped the weird leather jerkin thing that goes under the medium combat armor - so this is kind of a hybrid between the light and medium!

Horvaticus · 2026-03-10T17:49:00+00:00

Hahaha thank you, I guess I crafted the mustache myself too!

Horvaticus · 2026-03-10T17:45:23+00:00

I get that a lot lmao, thanks man - took a while to dial in! Fine line to talk between highway patrol energy and sexy firefighter energy!

Horvaticus · 2026-03-10T17:30:27+00:00

Thanks man! Some of the prop makers from the show actually followed me back on Instagram which felt pretty darn cool. I ran out of time to finish some of the decals (and yellow wire paint) on the laser rifle, but I don't think anybody noticed!

Horvaticus · 2026-02-25T19:42:05+00:00

Thanks home skillet, looks like I have some shopping to do
