The Pip-Boy from the Fallout video games is quite an iconic piece of kit these days. The fictional wrist computer's functionality may be less amazing now than it was when the series debuted in the 1990s, but the retro-futuristic look has kept it in certain corners of pop culture. Now, thanks to the reignition of interest in the Fallout franchise, the rise of makers, and the exploding popularity of cosplaying, every so often a new, home-made version of the Pip-Boy will turn up online and go a bit viral. Even with the impending release of a special-edition version of Fallout 4 with an official Pip-Boy, people are still making their own versions, like Jesse Roe.
