Case Mod - In Progress Project Black Rain: RIP 2008

nice update and nice work

 

NO WAY! This is update! WOW, OMG, This is what I'm talking about. Dude this is the perfect mod I ever saw, Every thing bling and done well. Please another update, I can't wait. Good luck.

 

Lookin nice and shinny, keep up the sweet work!

 

I don't mind at all. It's not criticism, it's your opinion-your point of view. In fact, I agree. At this point I can only tell you what I am thinking about doing. And that is to "tie-together" the IL clutch cover and the mnpctech grill with a "round-sweeping" length of red acrylic.. What I can show you is an idea I have for the red acrylic:

this is my FIRST TIME EVER TRYING TO PAINT THIS "TRUE FIRE STUFF".. I watched the DVD and gave it a go on a length of scrap red acrylic. "Back painting" is the term (I think)..

the paint side. This true-fire is a difficult technique, I need MUCH MORE PRACTICE!!

back-painting acrylic compounds the problem (learning curve) because your limited to (2) colors, black and white and the shades in between. Where as with a regular TF paint job we would be talking about 4-5 colors and 5-6 layers of paint...
anyway: flip side:


not an update just an idea.. It looks like something, not sure if it's flame.. I need to practice the technique..But it has possibilities!
Sorry, no update this weekend. I have to work, but vacation is coming very soon..
MS

 

OMG thats nuts and you bought the DVD of the Master Flame himself, I dont think anybody does better flames then that guy, amazing work MS, keep it up.
Hmm me thinks I should buy that DVD ^_^

 

well I'm sure you'll something sweet to the grille and filter

I can recognize flames in your try-out, so it can only get better!

 

Looks good for a first shot MS, look forward to you getting better! (wow, it's weird to think that YOU can "get better" at something...)

 

LOL , even MS have something to learn! It's an interesting technique, and the flame design is just a suggestion, but with a little more practice, i suppose the result will be stunning!

 

From that guys work that i've seen, you have bought THE dvd to watch/learn from. That scrap piece itself looks awesome imo. Keep up the awesome work modsquad!

 

HOLY ****! This is Real KICKASS Paint, This is what I'm talkin about! I don't know about that DVD! But If you watch it and did that, SO I think I must get it! WOW Very KICKASS! DAM Good work. Well done.

Good luck.

 

Well, he is a human after all... or is he

 

mm Well I think he isn't a human! No human can do that Work!

 

i agree with computerking...
We SUPPOSE that MS is human, but until we don't see a pics, it's only a supposition
Keep up the great work, mate!

 

Cool design.

 

Thanks Guys! Here's a picture of me. And yes, I was born on the "3RD-rock from the sun"..

thats exactly what I look like!
There should be an update Sunday-night..
Stay tuned..

 

OMG HES A CYBORG.... I KNEW IT ALL ALONG ^_^

just look at that big eye with the red pupil =p

 

Well, no doubt you are really. As for computerking, I think he's not... He seems to me like, by he's behaviour, that he trully is a bot. Spamming around... Why is it that each and every single thread has his reply at the last page, begging for an update?

Great work there man, keep it up

 

Jesus christ that camera costs so much... omfg! well, it shows!

 

UPDATE Please! That camera looks so expisisve! dam, Well nice. Come one and Update.. Can't wait.

Good luck.

 

brass and chrome

Here's what I have been working on. Instead of using painted acrylic to "tie" together the chrome on the side panels, I am thinking of using brass sheet. I got the idea from IL's work:

IMHO, they work well together..
So:

sheet bronze .032" thick
Decided to start on the top mounted reservoirs. Removed:

for the design I want 5mm on three sides and a "tongue" up front.

marking-cutting-drilling:















mocking up:









Overall I think it looks pretty cool. I like the brass and chrome contrast. BUT, not sure about the tongue up front.. I will have to look and think..I may just square off the front like the back..
Thats it for this update.

until next time..
