Scratch Build – In Progress Hypno-Toad Rebuild--April 2012 quick repair and refit.

Wow.

Ummmm... yeah. Wow. This thing is unreal. And for some reason, I like it.

Seriously, nice work and attention to detail, keep it up!

 

Thanks, Blueonblack.
I haven't gotten around to finishing this up, I've been a little busy, and when I'm home the Sketchup competition is keeping me occupied. I'm currently 99% finished.

@Modminded- A friend came up with a great drinking game for anyone willing to sit through a Brady Bunch marathon... You take a drink every time Jan shows up wearing army-green paisley bell bottoms.

 

Nice, intersting.... cant wait to see more.

 

Whup! Sorry, Shazbom. You came in at the very end of this project. Thanks anyway, man.

I'm wrapping this project up. I learned a lot, and picked up a few new tricks for future projects. The plastic framing was a partial success. The frame is tough as hell, but the nuts didn't stay in the plastic with only plexi glue. I had to glue them back in with silicone. Next time I will either sandwich them behind another layer of plastic, or just tap the plastic to the thread I need.

-Don't ask how I finally got the velvet in place. I will say it involved a spatula and some doggy treats. The front flaps really didn't need a clip holding them together. the LED bar is jammed in the front, holding it.

-I never got a good shot of the Maze 5.






I'd like to thank Danger Den once again for their support of this project.

That's it. Thanks for watching.

 

Great job on the case,and res.
Keep up the awesome work!

 

Super job, man

I don't know about you, but I have so much more fun working on a project like this that doesn't have to be perfect. The case looks great and the imperfections in the plastic give it a ton of character.

 

very nice !
the reservoir looks like some kind of steampunk raygun XD

 

Seconded. Your work is always so...........Weird

But wonderful, and Pretty

 

res looks like a submarine to me.



awesome!

 

Thanks everyone.
-Submarine, ray gun, IED (to the Boston Bomb Squad, at least,) Buck Rodgers sex toy...

 

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-TOAD.

Sublime case ! I love the color and th water tank

Montspy.

 

Push it for the front page and even those people who only come here for the games and hardware can be as impressed as those of us who wield the Dremels.

Excellent work.

This case is GREAT!!!

 

I had to look at it a second and third time. Everytime I see it, I find something new that I like.
That is a great fan grill!

 

It must be the green tint in the plex but it looks like glass and with the
work you've done, in my eyes it's very attractive. I'm glad you've finished it.
I don't know about you but with me, building something for too long is very
draining. I got sick of my current project a long time ago , but not
finishing is even worse, hats off to those that finish what they start and a
raspberry for those that don't.
Great work.

 

Thanks! I'm glad everyone likes it.
@John - Hint taken. I will tell them I finished. Maybe I'll get another 'ugly case' gismodo writeup.
@Oldnewby - Adding a little blue did wonders for the colors. It grows on you slowly. At first I really hated it. It helps to find a stopping point. I have more I can do, and some extra material, but I decided to save that for the day I upgrade the system. By then I'll have a ton of crazy ideas to try out.
