Scratch Build – In Progress [Projekt] Spirale --- Update 11/05/10

Hi Bit-Tech modders!

Back with a little project made from wood for the first time.

First of all I want to thanks my sponsor:




I started with a wine box (nothing strange, I'm french...)





For the socle I'll use this thing coming from an old Compaq server





Plexi cut and bend to fit in the socle.







Replacement of the wooden door by a plexi one







First layer of black paint to have an idea of how it will look.
The U joint along the white plexi come from www.pc-look.com

"I started with a wine box (nothing strange, I'm french...) "

With such a pseudo, no surprise... besides, red wine is the key of the french paradox

Nice design.



Uh, still here... you know you really should feed me....

 

Nice start. Love the designs!

 

lol DeltaFX
Thanks Imersa

 

nice man, love the idea for the final
looks like its going to turn out clean

 

very good job

 

damn i love that design man! something over it that i cant describe.

+rep!

 

maybe the magic of modding!

Ok...I'll bite. What is the french paradox?

 

You know, foie gras, cassoulet, boeuf en daube... tasty but not really healthy food and yet, low cardio-vascular risk of death. Phenols in red wine have a protective effect.

Just like in Cretan diet : cereals, vegetables, fruits, olive oil, meat 2 times a week, fish, and red wine.

 

Hmmm...I need to drink more red wine then. Considering my diet.

 

hey! hi alonso !

another great design mod by one of famous french modders !!!

(et non chui pas mort ^^ j'traine mes guetres ici et là... )

 

Hey zzubi!!!! how the hell are you ?

Some pics, some ideas.... the little dude is printed on transparent sticker.
The blue plexi is held by "patafix" (really don't know the english word)

 

dude... AWSOME!

liked it better with the black edge though

 

Thanks!
The top will be black, but at start I want to do this mod in two parts, the socle like a dock station and the case (easier to move without socle) , but finaly the mod will be in one part and the door will be open by the top. That's why there no paint on the top which was the bottom at first....

sorry the more I became an old guy, the more I forgot my english lessons....

 

I don't know how they say "Patafix" in english, but I'm sure of this: Georges Lucas calls it "The Force".
And your mods are still amazing, considering what you begin with balancing with what you reach (the top !).

 

I have the same problem... Which is scary, because I only know English.

The design is awesome! I'm not a big fan of graphics on cases, but it works.

 

hello!
