Whoa, thats an insane amount of drilling and sanding! Looks great so far. Any plans or drawings so we can see what your up to?

 

Loved your FuG-01/ET case, this ones looking great so far

 

If this just gets half as nice as you ET case, ill love it
But write some text about your ideas
And dont copy to much from you'r ET case!

 

Interested in where its going. Is the logo just steel or aluminum? And how big is it? At first I thought about the size of the side panel, but then I saw the wood flooring...

 

Subscribed!!!
Looking forward to how this comes out

 

8 mm plexi for back-lighting of cs logo

 

The logo is made from alu plate. Steel is too hard, the logo is going to feature on the right side of the case. Under the logo im going to place 8mm plexi wheel with orange lighting.

Hi there, here is a little update and some concepts. I'm awaiting your opinion about the ideas before they become reality

The right side
















The left side





the Black Mesa logo is a paper dummy


and so is the orange writing


what do you think guys?
- do you like the orange writing "d e a g l e" ? I'm about to cut it out and put plexi lighting behind it,
- and how do you like the colors of the right side?

 

i like how its looking! i like the theme :-D. the workman ship so far is amazing! cant wait to see what you have planned for the ugly front though :-X

 

Hmmmm... I like the work so far. I hope you have fun cutting out those letters!

 

Thanks for applause guys! But honestly speaking I'm awaiting your serious opinion. Especialy - do you like these orange letters "d e a g l e"??

 

honestly, i like the mesh and the Blackmesa logo on it, but as far as the text colours go, i dont really fancy it. I see you chose orange plexi for the job, but i think it would look MUCH nicer with clear frosted plexi lighted orange... so what im saying dont use orange plexi, use clear plexi and orange light. i like the deagle text as in writing and position though, i think it would look very nice if the text was engraved in rather than cut and backlit. i really hope you wont paint the case, because the bare aluminum looks GREAT so far, im REALLY looking forward to this mod. great job so far, and good luck with it!!

 

Thanks ady. Actually I don't use orange plexi. I use transparent (clear) plexi but I have painted it orange.

I like your idea to use clear, non-colour plexi and olny to light it orange. I'll make some tests soon and try to present them here.

 

An update of the work on the left side...

holes drilled


mounting of the grid






I'm sure you know this logo - black mesa labs


ready for painting



and some work on the front; first some sandpaper work


than the primer


and then yellow; ready for painting black



the test of the CS-logo backlighting

 

FINALLY! an update. ive been waiting for a long time, i LOVE the way it's starting to look. keep up the good work and keep us informed!

 

.... and some hours later









.... now I have to find a way to make it older. Any ideas?

 

I think, thet you shouldn't make it look older, atleast alot. Maybe a few scraches here and there, but not more than that. Excellent job by the way, one of the best CS cases I've seen.

 

To make it look older...

Try a few dents, scuff off some of the paint, and possibly paint on some rust...

Oh, and it looks really intersting so far.
