FrenkieNL Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Thanks Kitson ! I have to hurry, the deadline is in 3 days Started the 'crown' of the case. This will give a good impression of what the end result will be. But as you can see, this is very flat, so i need to give it some 'body'. But first I have to finish the front panel with these little bits and pieces. Measuring and cutting the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaPang Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Oh my, put some Euros in Frenkie's hands and he becomes a major menace in a case mod competition. Nothing to do with your project the last time which was very economical and a "quickie". And yes, 3 days is nothing! I guess that means calling sick to work and 24 X 7 (really 24 X 3) till the end. I don't expect anything less from you (just kidding about work but no sleep for you young man!) to finish and give it the final crowning touches. Of course I will be watching to catch the final pics. Cheers and Saludos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenkieNL Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 LOL, 'young man' !? I'm half a century old , FFS! But the case is finished, just typing the last worklog before I go on holiday. Ill post it in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenkieNL Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Overview while assembling the various pieces of Forex. Building up the 'crown' with construction kit. The duct tape is there to hold the pieces in the correct positions untill the kit hardens enough. Fast forward: The crown is ready sofar, all parts are there where they supposed to be, and it is time for the first base coat. Like before i'm using dull black, blue and darkgrey. Support colors are two shades of metallic paint, some sort of structure paint and antique brown. Because I was pushing for time, I started with the bottom half, the crown wasnt dry enough yet. Quickly add a 'handfull' of details.... The original text on the case in the game is; "POWER". I toke the liberty to change that to "CHARGE!". oh and 1304 is my birthday...... and 13:37.... ah well... Crown has hardened enough, basecoat is dry, so on with the mask. Added antique brown. Still needs some extra work, but you get the picture. Overview 1a. Combine Multi-interdirectional ViewScreen Added a little sub-project for this mod; In this game we see a lot of these Combine terminals: I really dig those blue multi-monitors. Just by accident (really!) my friends of Space Promotion, handed me this 24" 3D Zalman monitor which they got back from a warranty claim for -one- dead pixel. With some stretching and forming I got this nice rectangle out of it.. If you imagine the monitors away, you'll be left with this frame. Made a nice blue-print. Then cutted Forex strips untill my fingers turned blue themselves. Bevelled all strips with a nice edge. which gives you really dirty hands Started building the frame with construction kit, and clamps. Two side frames done. Made two aluminium supports for the side-handles. And mounted to the the frame. Once more the original frame in the game. And my Forex creation. There you have it, these are the final pictures for the Coolermaster competitie. Ingame; Frenkie's version; I wish all the other participants a lot of luck, and dont forget: Dont make casemods because you must, but because you like it ! Let’s mod the world !

PaPang Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 LOL, 'young man' !? I'm half a century old , FFS! But the case is finished, just typing the last worklog before I go on holiday. Ill post it in a bit. Well, "young man" to me at least . Almost young enough to be my son because if memory serves me right, you were early forty-ish the last time you told me not too long ago. I may your oldest viewer/visitor here though, hehe. Of course I knew you would finish, just adding a little drama toward the end for a lead in to the final pics. I know you would not pass up this occasion because you stand an excellent chance to come out ahead. No, I can't say there is no competition, as a matter of fact it is quite tough so, this time, I will have to wish you a lot of luck, something that is not usual to have to do. Compared to the mod, the modder needs a little workover, maybe if I took you to run everyday and give you a better diet....... Haha, just kidding. Can a mod look better than the owner? YESS!!! Not only a great mod, but a winner I am sure! Well, you know me. Cheers and Saludos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
