Cool - yeah I can imagine how long it took ! ,from my little play at a bit of stenciling it takes a lot longer than I thought it would.

yea. a lot of peoopel moan at me and tell me to buy a plotter lol. which i would love to own... but theres soemthign about doign it yourself. ... when you can see the tinyest little mistake / tag from the fineline tape it makes it lookreal.

good luck with the airbrushing though. being a painter before hand is a good start !. but its a very steep, frustrating learbning curve.
my only advice is to kit your self out with the best you can afford tbh

btw, i suppose havving the highlights in different places makies it look visuualy correct.... or more makes them not look in correct.
if they were all the same, all the way around tyou would notice sub conciously. and * soemhting* just wouldnt look right.
it also helps your eye to move around the piece too.

or atleast thats MY theory on it

Really great work, love the design. The case is extremely impressive and I can't wait for the final shots.

The time, effort and skill is unbelievable.

R B Customs · 31 Aug 2006 at 17:50

phoar.
just finished laquering it
neartly a pint of clearcoat on the case lolol

but.... somehting caught my eye... i placed one pannle next to my extr\ctor fan, and theres crap been blown onto one egde, about an inch in.
i thriow a hell of a lot of clear on the edges of things so it should just polish out... but thats pretty much the only thing that gone wrong during the whole project... but its not that bad tbh
ill be able to flat and polish saturday night hopefully. then ill be able to put it all togeather etc.

thanks for the support guys !!

Mark A · 31 Aug 2006 at 20:00

Its my favorite bit when the clear coat goes on and it gets polished up :cool:

. Looking sweet, you should stick some coolermaster fans in there and enter it into the competition.
