Hello friends, I'm back! I hereby present to you my newest project. In the next edition of Campus Party Brazil, I'll join be participate of Casemodders team selected by Cooler Master to modify their models and display during the event. I will modify of a cabinet model COSMOS II. The theme The theme chosen for the modification of the cabinet is Akira. This anime is based on a very successful manga and is one of the most popular of all time. Created by Katsuhiro Otomo, is considered a classic cyberpunk style. It gave rise to an animated feature film of the same name, released in 1988. Although it has been nearly 25 years of the release of the anime, the theme is still alive in the minds of many, both are frequent discussions in the possibility of becoming one day a Live Action movie by Hollywood. Next year thinking about the birthday celebrations, I intend to explore the subject in order to honor that this was a cartoon that marked my childhood and for many people around the world. Objectives My goal is to apply techniques of painting and airbrushing, along the same lines of previous work carried out by me. Small changes in the structure of the cabinet, acrylic installation, lighting compatible and parts. The colors used are based on the chosen theme, as well as accessories possess details that complement the package. ------- Expect news soon, I hope you follow, comment and give suggestions, I will enjoy and appreciate if possible!
I don't mean to be an ass, but I just thought this was really funny considering you only had 3 posts at the time I saw it Akira is a classic though, even for people like me who don't care much for anime/manga. Excited to see what parts of the story you tie into the case.
Mine too! Yes, but it's still not a return? (I was retired ...) I'm very excited about this project, thank you for visiting, I hope that you return more often : Thumb: tk's man!
Here is the photo of the day he arrived, when I took him to my house (last monday): These are pictures I took yesterday, a comparison of size of my previous project (Devil May Cry casemod) in Cosmos S and my new Cosmos II. I was unaccustomed to carrying more weight, lately I was just using notebook...
The fans that I will use in this project are all Cooler Master XtraFlo 120mm red led : Power Suply: Cooler Master Silent Pro Hybrid 1300W (the bag comes guarding the cables I liked!) Cables: Come still a fan speed controller, I read that it controls the fan 135 mm fan and more three of the system, needless to say: I'm dying to connect it in place:
Akira theme? Cool! If you can find the Japanese remastered release cover image in a decent res, that would be awesome.
It's difficult to choose art, mainly because I will not want to undo that cabinet (a second modification as with the DMC is out of the question), then after it's done I do not want to regret. There are two images that are dominating my thoughts, the difficult is the fact of the side having spaces for ventilation... This is the idea for acrylic: And my new WC, Cooler Master Seidon 120
Acrylic being cut and bent: In place: I had forgotten my camera at home, so I decided to do this with borrowed camera: Then I went in the house of Miguel... And we see cutting ideas ... And we began to loosen the plastic frills: Motherf *% #´¨ ... Sh"* double-sided tape ... Making the lines ... scratching: And finalized: It now remains the plastic inside Screens will be replaced by another before painting
Cut the damn plastic: Cutting corners finally cut Now missing the finish, I'll do that on tomorrow with putty to get a decent when open, and yesterday we did it: the result the mess testing the hardware, 1 is little 2 is good ... And...
hahahaha 3 is very expensive Stem83 ---- My year-end updates plucked off the grid: Results: view drawing forward: In corel... 3 probables... Result: The idea is to illuminate with LED behind it Acrylic inside Beside DMC: Drawing on actual size And now I'm taking to painting, news in brief ------------- HELP, NEED NOW: -> SUGGESTIONS FOR PAINTING INTERNAL (the sleeves are black and red) -> SUGGESTIONS FOR A GRILL FOR RADIATOR SEIDON 120 I will analyze all suggestions, this weekend will decide
As I promised, here are the news this Saturday, At the last minute the genius idea of making " the screen" in acrylic (laser cut): In place: drawing on the table ... Ink... And Sunday:
Now updates ... the processor well that I wanted to stay with the I7, but gave no ... was chosen even 3570K. Hence arose the idea of airbrushing inland tbm, after much thought we decided on this: beginning... Piece in place: the last.. Yesterday we spent varnish in some parts, then tonight some may already be handled.
