wOOT !! uPDATES

here's the piece of bezel

twist off the scary sides


cut it into 3 parts


same thing with the other piece



I'm a JSF-35C fan



anyways, the 2 painted sides from yesterday

thanks to Bill Owen on Mnpctech, I now don't need to buy carbonfiber sheets, just paint them. You can search for it on youtube Mod Men Episode 2

done, now just have to wait


in the mean time, I'm gonna concentrate back onto the case itself

woot! I said lego.....here's lego

Bionicle Toa Mahri sets

[Longhorn1000]

but how am I gonna fit both of them together??

easy, cut 1/4 of the box on each of them


the saw!!!:devil-smi

measure the back end

roughly about 19.5 cm.........not the most accurate measurements but it will do

9.6/7 cm on the box which is needed to be cut off

mark it

and cut it

there we go

same with the other side




will it fit?? that's the last prob



at least 10 minutes passed.....

wow, looks great

hmm...a hole in the pipes??

cut those small pieces off and hope that they can fit



lets glue it up

[Longhorn1000]

sand it.......

fits

glued up and looking good

continued work...




sand the sides of the box





cut off excess glue drips

and ready for painting


letting it dry up......

meanwhile......the pvc pipes are finally back

a piece of unused acrylic

sand it and glue it


and yes, apply the glue to the pipes as well

done sticking and let it rest until the glue are dried up

final part

the coat is dried up and ready for more detailed coats

[Longhorn1000]

the side

done.....

now for the interior painting

the side doesn't look that great compared to the top though....



ok, more pics in one and a half hour. Comment, view or do anything you want while waiting

[Longhorn1000]

Oohh....First update session of today is about to end

now the other side again



looking better and better

more clear coat


dried up and.......what am i gonna do with this.....it seems......lonely.....cold XD

the pvc pipes are done sticking

no ideas at all...

dried up......


I've got plans for ya

a shiny black coat of paint

somethings about to happen......O-O???

tadaa

gonna let it dry up first
while looking at the fan grill......I got an idea

the two plain grey sides

turn into

dried up and ready for exposure


added some special effects



looks nice

but with some more special effects, much better


ok then, this will be an end to my afternoon session. be sure to check back in the evening See ya'll

[Longhorn1000]

ok, couldn't finish it in time. But at least I finished what I wanna do today

some holes.......not tight enough....had to fill it with glue


meanwhile, I've got plans for the other piece

yes, I'm gonna place the bezel into it

and stick it for sure

done

I don't know if you can see the big hole bezel or not...

paint matte black

ready for the other piece

done and what I have left to do is cut off the bezel........

and it equals to

the big holed bezel painted black on both sides


and weld it to the bezel


and there you have it........2 bad-:) side attachment


It's getting dark really quick here so I decided to do a little bit more
first, I wanna fill those holes and scary edges with glue


and do a little paint job

matte black

used some dark grey as the back intake



sorry for the delay....... but although the post might seem to be short, it had token me hours to finish the bezel thing. Hope you enjoy todays post and keep following as tomorrow is our grand finale !!!!

Finally, this is going to end

[Longhorn1000]

so, screwed the fan to the case to make sure that it doesn't slip

fit the pieces to the case


measure the width of between the sides

approx 9 cm but I made it 11 cm so it will fit inside of them

clever thinking, cutting it out with a bottle attached to the back of it


fits perfectly

off for some paint job

dark grey

meanwhile, get some leftover pieces of card

drew the height and cut it

[Longhorn1000]

match it till the end of the case


mark it and cut it out



going to fit another piece at the back of both pieces

ok, change of plans...., I'll use the leftover of the lego box again

find a piece of cardboard ( leftovers ) and try to fit it there

fits nicely and stick it there

but hey there's more pvc pipes
I'll try fitting then there to cover it up



fits perfectly

looks nice too

then, paint it with dark grey again


which means that I'll have to modify the pieces again??


added some textures to the pipes

and paint the lego boxes too, where I'm pointing is going to be covered with yellow paint

and this one with matte black

there


my pics end here for now, continuing my work right away

[Longhorn1000]

paint the inside as well


I'm gonna cover up the painted area with some tape

so does this one

aha, carbon fiber paint scheme again

both of them covered up and ready for another coat


wooooo......

wrap it up

paint it in grey

begin our enhanced painting since I did the first coat



15 minutes later........
the paint is revealed and didn't gave a good product

lets do it the old way, cover it up

nice



give it some paint effects


and some clear coat

this one too




ahh, before I forget, the last 2 pieces

with grey

cover them up, including the newly coated clear paint . Nice XD

[Longhorn1000]

As you wish XD

so this is from the evening till late night lol

2 pieces of the cut out card


looking nice

I can see the finished look already



got a new tube of glue

ooh......nice effects


done



so em, the hole ( sorry, for that, loast my dialog

going to stick the pvc pipe to it


done

[Longhorn1000]

fit or not?




so here's a piece of bezel which is leftover from last time's cuttings

and paint it in matte black

the 2 pieces of cards with added effects
I bet you think its acrylic or metal XD cuz they really looked like it XD

and again, the leftover bezel
with stripes

going to fit it into the hole

done

going to stick the card


put a weigh on it to make sure it sticks properly

looks awesome
and see the hole there, I'm gonna do something to it


remember the two pieces of acrylic I left before?
the one which is sanded (left) and another one known as X marks the spot


fit them here

sand mr x too

and give them a paint job

[Longhorn1000]

so the back of the attachment

with added effects

and a coat of clear paint

the 2 pieces of acrylic dried up and added effects and clear coat



ok, dried up

looks fantastic


this is one however is the intake of the attachment



so here's the cut out for the painted bezel I did just now, and I wanna fit it horizontally to the top

some double-sided tape will do the trick sticking it there while I weld it

done welding

aha, back to the original case

[Longhorn1000]

painted it with shiny black color

currently around 10.25 p.m when I'm painting

so, it looks great

some grey and yellow paint for the furnishing of the case and effects

done, you might not be able to see them in some pics



a clear coat

so, a piece of acrylic used for the front panel of the attachment
sand it and paint it

[Longhorn1000]

alright.......the pics are done uploading
so, from right to left
wires......screws and all that good stuff

case fans

mesh bezel and HDD slots


DVD Slots , PCIE Brackets

tha big guy

3 of them black and the other 3 in yellow


painted the fan yellow

the stock 120mm fan that came with the case matte black

while waiting for it to dry, the piece of black painted acrylic is welded to the front of the attachment
