Case Mod - In Progress Project Black Rain: RIP 2008

really nice man love the coffin thing btw what is that polished metal thing below the chery-red acrilic?
keep up the good work.

 

Please bring your negitive attitude else where. It is unwanted on these boards!

Im assuming you dont know the Time, Money, and Effort that goes into these projects! and that it is a privilage that people take the extra time to define their work logs with scripts and pics, so that we can learn and explore their artistic talents. Yes we may not a agree with everyones views, but have enough respect to keep ignorant comments to yourself!

With that said do us a favor and give us a break and be gone!

Sorry Fellas for the rant but it really fires me up when people project negivity instead of positivity on people who devote themselves.

Great Job MS, Keep sending those photos our way!

 

well said. with projects this good. you want to see tones and tones of pics.

keep up the amazing work modsquad

 

That is the first time I ever heard someone complain about too-many pictures.
Six pictures of the same object, yes but all different. Do I need to justify the number of pictures I show in this PL?
It's take you perhaps 20 seconds to look at them. Much longer for me to do my part. It would be EZ to show fewer pictures..
But I see no reason to not shoot and post as many as I like. You can do the same in your project log..

 

Ofc you can take as many as you will, but I just find that many not necessary for following the project. I didn't want to piss anybody off, maybe there's some differencies in our cultures or w/e, cause I still don't my post offensive at all. Maybe I should just do like everyone else and just cheer and hype.

Uuuuh shiny! keep it up m8!

 

You know, I don't want to spend a lot of time on this. It all seems trivial, to be honest. You should do whatever makes you happy Jipa.. And I will do the same for myself..

 

Alot of negativity around here lately...
If he posted fewer images it wouldn't be very apparent how he does what he does. So aside from the fact that his execution is regularly immaculate, his project logs are educational as well, and that's why I think so many people follow along with them.

 

I promised myself not to post to this thread again, but I just have to make this clear. I do NOT in any way claim that there's too much pics overall in this project log, it's nice to see many of them BUT. For example these two:

What's the difference? I already apologised and I hope none got ones feelings too badly hurt. Now peace and mod on.

 

Shut up, hes showing it from slightly diffrent angles to catch diffrent lights, i think more pics the better the mod! i like ones from slightly diffrent angles, you can shutup!

Keep up the great mod, and i wana see lots of photos!lol
keep it up well done

 

I could see his point if the photos were bad quality but Modsquad's project logs are famous for having great picture quality, something a lot of us (me included) could take a lesson from.

The mod is hot, the pictures are hot, keep it up.

 

More pics, less pics, lot of blah blah for nothing...
I follow this thread 'cause he take a lot of pics, and every pics is a little gem. If you dislike, don't follow this thread, it's easy...
Anyway, I want a coffin ... but like MS coffin, not a real one :-]

 

This The sexiest Project I ever saw

man keeep going , good luck

 

I haven't posted anything here in a while, but believe me modsquad, I'm watching

As usual, everything looks really good, a question though, how is that coffin vent playing together with the front door? How much does that thing protrude in reality, meaning can you still close the door or is it going to have to be removed?

For Jipas comments, in a way I see what he's trying to say, but this is your thread and you do as you please. Anyways most of the people here love the "eye-candy" which your work definitely is, so extra pics about them shiny things isn't bad (I tend to do the same ).

I'm really looking forward to seeing how that red acrylic is when it's lit, should go well together with the acrylic aquatubes.

ohh gosh another one of these again. Personally I see both side of the argument and see neither sides being right or wrong. In jipas defence you do take alot of pictures to show, what seems to be very little work. Is that wrong? I've never complained. I realize how little time you have and respect the quality of the work you do. The stuff just flat-out looks great. So why not take 6 pictures of the same thing? In your defence modsquad, I love the work and it's always easy for someone to step back and criticize others while it is much harder to get out there and do it they way you want it to be done. That's why I like you is because you mod in a way that makes you feel good. Jipa obviously is just jealous of the pro's

 

@Dark: the coffin itself is 50mm deep and I have only 25mm of space between the door's backside and the front face of the case. So, the answer is to recess the coffin into the case. This front panel is a work in progress. I need to:
invent a mount to recess than coffin.
find a "clean" solution to access the machines DVD drive. I am using a Plextor slot drive so it's not impossible..but with that said..Still thinking..
The sheet-Alu front panel (all the sheet alu for the project will get custom paint) will be painted and then airbrushed with-- flames and skulls, which should look cool under the red acrylic and light emanating from the coffin's side vents. That's my plan anyway..

@elliod: you have a good-eye. Those are HD saddlebag latch covers than will become vents:

more on them later.

@Fozzy: We all come here for FUN. Makes no difference if your reading PL's or doing one. It should be fun. What I am saying is this has to be fun for me as well. Perhaps my two favorite hobbies are computers and photography. Doing a PL let's me enjoy both. I would just like to end this entire debate.. It's just so insignificant. Unless bit-tech feels I am not following there PL-rules, my plan is to change nothing and "do what I do"...
People can vote one star or five, love it or hate it. In the end, I have only one person to answer to--ME..
Back to work Wensday. Vacation is all but over.. I did get a good amount of work done in the last two weeks. My "time frame" for this project is one year. So, at (4) months I think I am in "good-shape"..
Until next time :
MS

 

Which alloy has the aluminium you always works on / Polishes

And it looks flawless retime

 

Sorry, translation-problems:

I think he's asking about the Alu.. Like T6101..
