correct appart from the storm... its a modified / frankenstien Danger Den RBX ( not very modified :P )
tubing is 1/2'' ID - 3/4''OD Tygon Tubing
Maze 4 GPU on the GFX
and a bent card seems to be fairly common... these things are EXTREMLY long, and the power connector off my tagan is quite stiff / tigh fit :|

well this is an early mornign for me.. should be going to see the nice people at the paint suppliers this morning :D
 
I used to be on a modelling forum (one that makes model airplanes and stuff) and there-were good airbrush airtists there. But your work is amazing! I want to paint this keyboard I have just recieved but I am scared that I might mess it up and I dont have the paint!

I think you need better pictures though! Get that PC outside and turn off flash!

:) Great worklog!
 
Oh god what a day !
early this morning, set off to paitn shop, spend half an hour quing ! chose between 3 models of polisher, brougth it home ficxxed it up, stated polising - great.
go to the second pannel before the spinndle lock buitton pops of, jamming the spinndle !
so that had to go back. had a right carry on in the shop, got my money back, went to the dreaeded machine mart, bought one from there - great :)

got to nannas house, mam was reading the paper and guess what ! - full page machine mart advert, same polisher as id just got - £25 less !
( turned out to be an open boxxed one, so only 3 month waranty so i left it.

Woah mate thats really good.Just wondering how much does your compressor and airbrush cost?it must cost a lot!!!
Click to expand...

well, im just investing money in some new supplies / eqipment. lol so i can tell you !
compressor is going to set me back about £300 - belt driven. then a regulater ontop of that price:( ( mine been out of order for months and ive been working off a tiny 2.5 litre one - not fun)

i have several airbrushes... erm well they all cost more than the £200 mark., ones about £300 at the time ! but theres NOTHING worse than a bad airtbrush... its oen of the only cases of a good workman being able to blame his tools.

on top of that is all the apints, masks, primers, alll the other littel sundries.


no pics yet because ive just got back from my travvels, i must finish sortignt hre garage out today / tomorrow THENNN i will finish polishing the pannels !

finaly011mediumhs8.jpg




super sized image includign allt he mess:



btw. it seems that the camer want to picvk up every little tiny bit of crap it possibly can. id dust it off if i could see it my self ! lol. ... it also seems to captures red lines around the pannels, ( the red inside the case maybe ? ) but theyre just not there in real life lol
 
It looks incredible!

When painting the inside of a case like what you've done, is there a lot of prep work neccessary? I would imagine trying to sand all the little corners and ins and outs is pretty difficult.
