PROJECT: Green Dragon | major delay | Updated 10/2

The Bondo is Here!

Yes! finaly the bondo has arrived. Now I can get to work on that front panel

 

Mod it!



Cheers,
Mike

 

mmm bondo, looking forward to this

 

Nordmenn er best!!!

Faen, vi nordmenn er fødte moddere, ikke sant

 

[Translation] damn, we norwegians are born modders, don't you think [/Translation]

hehe well.. we have to see about that... maybe I'll screw up with this bondo... right now the front is drying (well some of it, I haven't started on the gaps yet...).

 

While I totally concur with your statement about us norwegians being born modders, I would still like to point out to you that this is not a norwegian forum. Hence it is considered not polite to write in norwegian just because you can. As the saying goes: "When in Rome, do like the romans!"

One should always keep in mind that maybe there are others who can contribute and/or have some information regarding the subject one is inquiring about. This was not the case this time, but just for future sake, keep that in mind.

Bondo applied

Hi. today I have applied the bondo on the holes where the buttons used to sit...



I can't wait to sand it down

 

Dragon Fixed

I have now applied bondo on the scratches i made on the dragon..



I'll sand it either now, or tomorrow...

 

damn that window looks awesome

 

good mod dude! this is the first time i've actually read one thoroughly [instead of just skimming through] since mr. zapwizard's ammo box [well, maybe there was one or two exceptions]

 

hehe thanks both of you.

I'm honnored, theagent! If I only was 1/10th of the modder zapwizard is, I would be amazingly good!

 

i think we all wish we had some of the powers that make things like the Orac³ or the ammo pc zap made. i think there are two reasons your case caught my attention:
1. DRAGONS
2. Woman fan grill




just kidding, actually it was your jagged windows. i saw them and send "what the hell is that? i like it!"

 

Love the effort but i still feel the grill sorta spoils it, no dragon fan grills about you could mod?

 

no leeum.. I Can't find any 120mm dragon fan grills. I'm wondering if I should just leave the radiator without... maybe I just put the star catode grill underneath the fan so the green light will shine underneath my computer.. I haven't decided yet.

The things I consentrate about now is:
*bondo the front
*prime and paint the doors
*engrave the windows
*cut two holes for the screws, so the fans in the back will be attached with 4 screws, instead of just 2..

the rest I will do after I've done the things above

 

you could always have someone make the grill for you, like with a CNC router or a laser cutter.

i would not recommend the dragon head one. with all that metal blocking the fan you can get whistling noises

 

Thanks But I will definately never have any mortal combat logo in my case

 

Fan dukt glued

Hi today I have Hot glued the fan dukt so is will stay in place whan I start to bondo.I also secured the bondo I have applied, by using hot glue on the back of the bondo..

As you can see I still have a little sanding to do before it is totally flat.. and I have to use a little more bondo on the edge so It will look better.


Here's the backside glued...

 

Gaps in front Bondoed!

Today I have applied bondo in the gaps in the front panel! It really took quite a lot of bondo, but I still have one and a half box left (why did I buy so much? ). Well atleast I have bondo for my next project

Enough talk, over to the pics:





I have to apply another layer of bondo after this layer has dried... to get the surface as smooth as possible.

 

BONDO POWER

So the front will be smooth?


Cheers,
Mike

P.S.
I finally got a dremel

 

Now sand sand sand...
