Quite funny the way they talk about our grass and mosquito I still havent got the chance to ask Paul Capello on "something" regarding my next mod. The next mod's gonna be a very very very tedious task to get it done. This post has been edited by Acey: Sep 17 2006, 04:34 PM |

Some stuffs i grabbed last nite, but this morning things turns disastrous when im pissed.
![]() ![]() ![]() Gonna throw this piece of junk away. ![]() Darn.. cant work on anything for now... woke up to spray the LAST layer of paint, and the bloody spray can dipped a part of the paint leaving a gash... wtf.. needless to say, the can suffered some abuses for 10 minutes, and then some bloody newspapers flew on top of the half dried panel.... there goes my temper so i chuck everything in the room i kept half-dried paint jobs cos i know i cant work when im pissed. Cut another cross this morning, drilled the holes and will probably work on the logo tonight. Need to take a few days off modding first. |

Update 7
OK, last night I was basically very pissed thru out the day due to my side panel, so night time its torture time. The spray can felt the local version of Roberto Carlos taking a free kick in his glorious days. Sanded my side panel with 400 grit dry, 800 dry, 1000 wet, 1500 wet, and finally 2000 wet. Today the sun's not too strong due to the clouds early in the morning so sprayed 2 layers on it when the sun is bright and have a couple rounds of blackjack with colleagues while waiting. After that, time to work on the acrylic. Jigged the blowhole (quite but still not really round quality lol), used estimation to drill the screw holes for the cooling fan, and drilled some holes for the logo extension. Here's how it goes ![]() Cut a new piece of cross for the logo. Told you I was gonna chuck the piece of shit away. ![]() ![]() And then its trial time. The bad thing is the leg of the hexagon stud's not too long, so I might have to find a replacement for it as I cant screw a nut onto the other side of the acrylic. ![]() ![]() ![]() Took my finished paint job panel in (some dents are left by the spray can (yesterday's fury) and the attack of the newspaper, but it'll be covered up on the next phase. So this is how it'll look like: ![]() ![]() Then I went to the store room to get the cover panels for the ROM/HDD holders to check on the spray job yesterday. Bright as expected. ![]() Thats all for today, will try to work on the carbon fibre sticker tonight and put the plexi up by tmr, after spraying the inside of the panel. |

"The piece of shit" = i was referring to the old piece of cross (logo plat) i made where the spray job n carbon fibre sticker screwed up. So threw it off, drew another cross, cut it, buff the side.

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Sep 21 2006, 12:37 AM) It's a damn cool idea man. It's purpose is sorta like a 3 dimensional fan cover. The cross with the Dope logo covers the intake fan in the middle of the acrylic window. @ Acey, is that centre intake fan a LED fan? It'll b really cool if it is. Coz the light from the fan will glow out from behind the cross n sorta gif the cross a floating look. Man, I'm so gonna copy this idea of ures in 1 of my mods in the future. Kekekekke I pay u 1 kopi-o for copyright licence. |
