Project PX03 Darkcrystal wOOdcase FINAL PICS

hi everybody , first i ask you to sorry myself because my english is very bad and i hope you understand me but pics are better than words

so my project is a selfmade case in lexan/wood ; all the internal structure will be in lexan and the exterior in wood and lexan (thanks to eddie the dane 's guide that gave me inspiration ) the last part of the case will be a black shiny painting of all the wood parts













the cut for blowhole

 

her wil be place the crystalfontz lcd











here is the case structure

 

and the panel with the window's hole

the place for drive



then i put some mastic on it

 

mastic again



and after sands paper



well i return to english lessons before update hope you enjoy my work

 

that's lookin really good. I tip my hat off to ya on cutting holes after stacking the layers... that's a gutsy commitment but it looks like everything is paying off.

I'd like to know more about the stuff you are putting on the wood prior to sanding. My understanding is that mastic is a masonry adhesive but I could be wrong what you are doing with it.

That's going to look awesome lit up.


eddie looks into crystal ball.... I see a lot more sanding in your future....

 

looks very nice, hope the lexan will give enough light.

Is it heavy? How will you paint it without "destroy" the lexan?

 

thanks for your comments

eddie dane> first your i love your case for the mastic you re wright, it is adhesive and when it is sanded i give a good surface to paint

eagle spirit> its about 7 kg (i don't know the conversion in pound)
and for the light i made a test and it goes well



it will comme some others lightning in it

i ll paint the case by hidden the lexan with professionnal adhesive paper

 

wow.... if this one will be better than vespadeco or something, I will worship you for the rest of my life!!! I know it will be better...

 

ok, it wasn't so heavy as I thought. And the lights look very good. Maybe LEDs? They have much cleaner light, but it's expensive.

 

OOOOOO Very sweet!

 

RAMeLair > i just look up this project and it seems to be good too

eagle spirit> i m going to use leds fans and some ccfl hidden into double panel in the case just to light front and top

 

If you have a little trouble with your English then someone will point relix at this thread - His English is pretty good He'll help you translate and stuff.

Nice case, man

*n

 

thanks , current language is not so hard for me , thats the technical terms/words that made problems with me...

 

This case is very good. I love the wood combined with the plexi, it looks great like that. I cant wait to see it painted. Good job

 

That looks great! I was actually planning to do something very similar, all the way down to the black paint and blue plexi, after I finish my current case.

 

Drat, not pics for me.. just red squares..

 

me tooo

 

ahhhh beautiful, gotta love the red x's

get them working!!
