Matches nicely... and there's nothing wrong in being a perfectionist

Good Luck mate
I'm thinking of doing the same thing with my case (the weathered / beaten up look), but I'm not really sure how to do it.

Could you post up a sort of guide on how you go about creating that look? Cheers

 

[keenan]

Sadly this is my first attempt at this, so there is no guide!

Here we go...

My little helper..

Would towing it behind a car for id say...... atleast 3 miles and then leave it in the garden for months work???

 

[Yaayuh!]

Would replace the side window with a dirty-look acrylic. Then it's perfect

Nice job!

 

[Something Else]

Looks awesome man. Very very well done its s
Great to see builds that do a different look.

You have pulled this off brilliantly

 

[keenan]

Dude, like WOW How did you get it to look like that, that's unbelievable. I must know your secret . . . .

Hahaha, very flattering..

I used Tamiya flat black and smoke hobby paint.. I applied it with the green course side of a scotch brite dish sponge and flattened it out with a big painters brush..

Thats it, nothing more to it..

 

[Kurisu Makise]

now that looks good!

 

[satanicguardian]

Holy crep! :O that's incredible!

 

[Disaster]

Really nice, well done

 

[NoustieChris]

Have you thought of replacing the power switch with something like this?

Hi everyone.. It's been one very busy week so not much to show in regards to results, but I have done some dipping..

Got a CPU block and a 240mm rad to fit in the bottom of the case, obviously they had to get a bit of love!! :loved:

First I had to do some masking to make sure I dont get the base coat everywhere..








My very tidy working area .. :rofl:




A massive roll of hydrographic film..




Tools of the trade.




Measured and framed..




Had to get a larger dipping tank so I borrowed my sons toy box




Some aerosol activator..




Here you can see the film starting to dissolve from the activator..




The results!!
