Project Android

Nope, not yet. I was going to do quite a bit on Sunday but I ended up tidying the garage/workspace instead. Hopefully a fairly significan't update will be up by the end of this weekend though.
 
having seen you do this I was realy tempted to do simmiler, even to the point that today I saw a shop throwing out a maniquin and was || close to nicking it!
but alas, it looks like my new office won't have space for it :(
 
Bump, oh and have you done any updates? I think everyone's really busy at the moment so I wouldn't be suprised if that's the case, I will do you a website someday, but alas, I'm really busy - back to sixth form. Can't wait for the paint :)
 
Progress has been made, but I havent taken any pics of it yet. Im off work on thursday/friday, so hopefully I will get quite a lot of work done. I certainly need the time as this next step is going to take me ages.(Sanding and polishing car body filler :( ) Cheers about the website.. Don't worry as there is no rush. Catch me on msn sometime and we'll have a chat about it. Yeah, ive been quite busy recently, im at 6th form as well... working there. :)
 
If you ever need hosting my offer still stands.

Cracking mod you got going, really is a good one. :)

What finnishing items you got lined up? (colour of power LED etc.)
 
Yeah, I really should start rehosting the pics shouldn't I? Ive not thought too much about stuff like the power LED. But I recon white or blue would be best. Im also going to be adding detail to the inside of the thing, by glueing wire and mechanical 'bits' to the inside before painting.

Im using an epoxy car body filler to thicken the body and to eventually make a smooth surface to paint. As the body filler is quite hard to work with, im having to use a cellulose filler ontop of that to make it as smooth as possible. Im currently sanding and what a hellish job it is as well. Can't say this is my favourite job so far.
 
Nope, it certainly not a LAN case. Not that I go to LAN parties anyway tbh. Im not really worried about the weight at all, but its certainly adding up.

Lol, I can imagine someone having such a system for LAN - having to strap it on to the car seat and drive to mate's and then carrying it in gingerly.

I'm loving the progress - just wondering, what's that grey paste all over the insides? Looks like clay...

It's polyester body filler, frequently called bondo. It's usually used on cars to smooth sheetmetal before painting.
 
Used to smooth metal sheets before painting? So do you remove it then aint, because as it stands, it's rough.

Sorry to sound noobish but I'm just very curious...

Its an epoxy filler. You get a tub of gray stuff and a tube of yellow hardener. You mix bit of them together and apply to the car/android/whatever. After 30-45 minutes it sets hard. You then sand it down to a smooth finish, apply primer and them paint. Im currently doing the sanding which is slowly getting there;
