    i dont mean to correct your spelling but its better not batter.

    hmmm where are the leds going to be placed? i personally would make my own. and place them around the plexi if thats what your going to be lighting.

    ebay could be a great place to get some in bulk cheap

    Sorry about the lack of a proper update guys, I had a Maths C and it ran into my modding time :grr:

    Thanks heaps mansueto, hopefully i don't disappoint.

    Hahaha, i don't mind, i'd rather be told then have something spelt wrong the entire time this log is up :D

    Yes the lights will be used to illuminate the acrylic, and simulate the different modes the nanosuit can go into. Hmmm, I'll check ebay out then.

    Any other suggestions anyone?

    That is a genius idea, didn't play the game much, only tried the demo, but that very much suites the theme. Will the case paint be solid, or will it emulate the fibre like look of the suit?

    The interior of the case will be based around recreating the nanosuit, (because it will have all the fancy technology inside it) while the outside is based around the Korean Peoples Army that's in the game (So along the lines of camouflage, checkerplate, and all things army like) The outside of the case will have the Korean camouflage pattern airbrushed on.

    And after looking at the Alienware ALX mod that's graced the forums at them moment, I'm thinking about getting some mesh or, like they used in there mod, non-slip drawer liner in a honeycomb pattern and using that to paint the nanosuit fiber pattern throughout the case.

    To free periods at school today, so it time for more engraving soon :)

    I think you should go nano suit all over the case.

    Well looking at the plans i have secretly stowed away i made a few amendments while i was engraving today.... Curious?

    First of all the case will be A LOT less themed around the Korean Peoples Army than first expected. The idea is now to show the nanosuit 'taking over'. Expect nanosuit fibre pouring out of fan holes and wherever else it can break free...

    Well i can get 400 LED's for $50AUD... Now I'm just waiting to see if i can get 100 of each colour I need...

    Ohhh yeah, and Mr LED Man doesn't speak very good English me thinks...

    My Question:
    "How do i purchase 100 of each colour of LED in the same order?"

    My Answer:
    "Please go to my store for purchase. There will enough LED for you. "

    LOL
    sounds like he's talking about "Lead" rather than LED.
    Nice work so far. Really looking forward to this one.

    Sure thats enough LEDs? :D j/k

    Sounds like you have it all well planned out, planning has always been my downside.. saves a lot of time and money in the long run!

    Game inspired cases have always fascinated me, good luck with yours and im looking forward to this one progressing.

    I thought you were engraving MDF, but I'm glad it's just plexi :duh: Good luck on removing the protective tape later on ;) I really like the shape of the window, it's something completely different.
