Fallout Fan Creates Amazing Mini-Nuke Replica
A talented Fallout fan has shown off their incredibly realistic replica of a mini-nuke from the games. Used alongside the Fat Man, the mini-nuke is easily one of the most recognizable items from the Fallout franchise.
The Fallout series is approaching three decades old now, with the original game being released back in 1997.
