Modding Antce P150 Biomech engraving

Hi there all modders!!

Ive just been given the privilage to go totally nuts once again with the old Dremel on one of my favourite cases the P150. This case will be fully engraved in the biomech style. I will also add color to the engraving and do a full Dremel massacre of the entire case. This here is a littli hint of whats to come in my next BIG casebuild wich im starting in a couple of weeks.

Id like to give a special thanks to David Forster over at Antec for supplying this great case for me to pimp


Stage on the basic sketch and layout this will be added to as i go along


With the basics done it was time to rew up old faithful

By adding some color to the engraved lines the whole thing stands out more and the red gives a great contrast to the white.



Ill be back with alot more images as i go along so until next time.....

 

Antoher step completed. The first sidepanel is as good as finiched i just need to fix a few details and give it some more color



Theres more to come.....

 

Ooooh, as brilliant as ever with the engraving, love the designes too

 

How are you adding color to the engraved lines? Something as simple as a fine tip paintbrush?

 

Im using a standard waterproof marker pen Nothing fancy at all but it works perfectly

 

:drool: I just might have to paint and etch my V1000... That's just beautiful.

(We need a :drool: smiley...)

 

Ive finished the basic layout for the side and got all the coloring done. It turned out kinda nice i think



There will be more....

 

Its all done just a few minor adjustements then its delivery time

 

WOW.

Love the etching, very impressive.

Might have to give that a go someday.

Finished the whole thing up today with a Evil Clown


The case is now done

 

You just know that when you see a post from [WP@]WOLVERINE it's going to be something worth looking at. Once again you have amazed me with your tallent. I can't wait to see more on this project, or anyother that you decide to share with us. And if you ever need to find a good home for one of your projects I'll take good care of it.

 

SO VERY NICE!!!!! , congrats on the good work.

 

Thx for all the kind words
Im actually starting up a brand new build soon thats going to be HUGE it will feature massive amounts of modding, kitbashing, Sculpting and painting. And some real kickass watercooled hardware. I cant tell you more about this right now because i want to save the whole thing for a big article, but keep your eyes open and all of a sudden the monster shall appear

 

What kind of engraving bit did u use, if u canc an u get me to a picture of it, and how did u make it so smooth and how did u add the color etch, did you just color over the etch with marker or something. Because, i am etching my plexiglass and its so rough and jagged.

 

Looks good.. and thats no evil clown.. its a joker... what tip are you using on your dremel?

 

Here is a link to an engraving article. I'm not sure if it was [WP@]WOLVERINE that wrote it or not but I'm pretty sure that it was. Either way it's a good article and well worth the read.

I'm pretty sure that he added the color by just coloring the etched areas with a marker.

 

Added some color to the front as a final touch



Turned out quite sweet if you ask me

 

Nice job, youve got quite a steady hand. How long did it take you to engrave all that?

 

around 30 hours i think, its hard to be exact but somewhere around that.
