Hi Everyone, here is my latest creation, called THE WICKED WIDOW. Its just another Alan-Lee typical lean mean badd ass but kicker, evil poison-n-pain mod. I love this style. its the input set which accompanies the Scratch Build Computer whcih I will also be posting soon called the Black Widow. The black Widow isnt finished yet so here are at least the input devices. They consist of a keyboard, a mouse pad and a pen, all in the black widow style. They keyboard though is something of a new approach. I thought why not use the size of the revoltec chocolate keyboard to hold a harddisk and usb hub. It also has hdd switch and hdd temperature display. The keyboard, usb ports, temp-display and hdd all work with a single usb cable and have been packed into a wooden casing. I welded the widow nets with 3mm steel rods and even used solder lead to cast the skulls for the mid top sections widow body, the same for the 2 net wings left and right. as you can se i stained the wood and then after sealing it with a clear coat airbrushed the widow and flames blending he keyboard in from black to golden shades. pinstriped them and then clear sprayed it again. the same method was used for the perrix mouse pad. i even made a spring holder for the wicked widow pen i made from an old coat hanger which i also airbrushed gold and black accordingly and screwed to the bottom of the caseing. if the pen is not in it then you cant see the holder at all. the work is finished now and i can finally get round to posting, sorry it pretty much all in one go. i hope you like it. so pictures will be posted soon.
