Looking sweet. You did a great job on the grunge-ification. I kinda liked the original sink-drain grill though. You gotta save what's left of it for a future build.

August 19th Update!
Well, here we are again with another update. That's like two in a row, right? I'm sure that'll change. Anyways, this is a special update because I did something for the first time. I modded during a bloody hurricane! Talk about dedication. Seriously, Tropical Storm/Hurricane Fay hit here earlier today and we had a tornado touch down and head right for me here. I was fine though. Building's solidly built, so nothing bad happened. But it did get interesting for a bit during the day when it came near, but it just sounded loud; no damage (that I know of). I started modding around 2:30 today since we were let out of work; more like, "We're all gonna drown! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! AHHHHHHHhhhhh...!" But eh. I'm fine with it. Rainstorm. That's all it was. Meh!

So this extra free time gave me some time to get a little farther with the CMC mod. So, without further delay, I give you today's update.

...............

*whacks camera* Wait...sorry......hold on a sec......come on, you piece of sh....*WHACK* ...there.

First up today, I went ahead and finished working on the stencil work for the mod.



I have some going on the top of the unit, the side, and a little on the back. They all came out great, as far as I'm concerned, although I may have weathered them a bit too much. But I'm happy with them. I went ahead and cleared the top panel after completing the weathering for it. After that I went ahead and applied the stencils where their final homes will be and masked the rest of the panel off. Then I went ahead and sprayed them black. While I waited for that to cure, I also masked off the chassis itself with the next wave of stencils on it too and sprayed it. I had a completely unrelated mod I was working on during the wait-time, because I had a bunch of measurements to take on it and complete what I was doing with it. After a little bit, I went ahead and removed the masking and the stencils themselves off the top panel, leaving behind lovely paint. After some additional weathering, I baked the piece for about 20 mins. or so to finish curing of the paint, then I cleared them over to seal it in. I'm quite happy with the results. After the top panel was cooled down I sat back to admire the work. Then I installed the rad-grill panel on the top to see how everything looks.

I won't bore you much more now, so I'll drop in the pics I took of everything after partial assembly, including case feet.

Side of chassis..."Pathway to the Stars" logo...what's left of it...





Other side of chassis...



Along with MNPCTech's case feet so kindly given to me, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to show who manufactured the unit.



Top panel...







Back panel with fans installed...



Yes, that used to say "do not obstruct".



Close up of the rack-ears complete with weathered and coated handles...



Basically, at this point all I need to finish is the front control panel acrylic and install the system. I'm hoping I can get that done soon, so I can get this crap off my bench for the next one!

-------------
Until the next update, I got nuthin'.

First you guys get whacked with a state load of fires, now you get tropical storms and tornadoes! Make for great modding opportunities - look at all the work you got done! Mahvelous.

Damn thats a sweet paintjob! The only thing I dont really like are the handles, they are a lil small IHMO. You should go for something a lil bigger to give the case a more rugged style like these from mnpc. Everything else looks ace!

You're right, John. This state is a hazard, that's for sure. The storm is literally sitting right over us now, and just heard it's only moving at like 3 mph. That's not good. I'm going to have to get my scuba gear soon. Thanks for kind comments!

Thanks, man. Yeah, already thought of those initially when I concepting. But talking with others I know who are military people that worked with similar equipment, I decided on the nondescript ones. Thanks for the opinion though!

You weathered the stencils about right. Just enough to keep people from seeing a 'box with words on it.' -Not sure how to explain what I'm thinking...

Lookin good EEL! Always love your "used future" paint jobs. This looks like something you might find sitting around next to a loudmouthed Colonial Marine
