This is a Pipboy 3000 I just finished up. I've seen a lot of people build these with a static image on the screen, but I wanted mine to actually have all the different menus. I built this with a generic 3.5 LCD picture frame I found on ebay. I took pictures of each individual menu screen from the game and loaded them onto the frame, and then installed small tact switches for screen control. I installed a magnifying lens over the screen that I scavenged from an old slide viewer. It also features an audio amp with an input jack and controls installed into the handplate.

Re: Working Pipboy 3000 replica
That's absolutely amazing. Awesome work.

That thing is gorgeous! The convex lens really brings the illusion together. I gotta find a similar lens to fit over a 5" Zenith screen now!
Re: Working Pipboy 3000 replica
That thing is rad.
Edit: What might be cool would be something not disimilar to this, but with one of those little iPods inside, so you could actually run video/audio/games etc on the Pipboy.
