Yes, it is when compared with the machines in FO4. When EdibleGrenade12 made the mesh, it wasn't really known how big the machines were, so I guess he made them scaled like actual 50's soda machines. He hasn't updated since. There is a way to make objects larger by scaling them in the object reference, but to do that here I'd have to replace every single reference to a nuka machine. That's just a bit much.
Not that I'm aware of. It's too bad that the scale is set on the reference rather than the model itself. I suppose they were trying to save space by allowing a single model to do for any number of items of different size. It's how people do "toys" in the game - the reference is to the full-size item (say, a protectron), but with the scale set to make it toy size. It would also be nice if nifskope had an easy way of scaling a model. There's just no easy way to make them bigger.
Okay, I was wrong. It was actually pretty easy to scale the machine in nifskope, even with animated parts. The new BSAs have the pristine and regular machines scaled 20% taller and wider. 20% taller makes them a little taller than an adult male character, which seems close to the right height from the last time I saw Gopher standing next to one in FO4. 20% wider keeps the aspect ratio in proportion, keeping the fans round.
Check it out and see what you think. Just download the BSA and drop in the data directory for the game.
Update available! This is just an update of the BSA files from 2.2 or 3.2 to 2.3 or 3.3. I made the vending machines 20% taller and wider so they don't seem so small any more. If anyone can get a more accurate measure for how tall the thing should be, let me know and I should be able to make it exact.
