Hi im trying to creat a burnt case look as the theme for mine is inferno, ive got all t he lights in the hardware works and now i want to make some more of the case, its already been srayed with grey under and lightlly kinda speckled prayed with black on top. If any one has any ideas on how i can make it look more burnt and singed using paint, or could i use real fire
if you want a burnt look than just set the thing on fire , then cover with clear coat or somthing to protect it
Set that thing on fire! Getting a good finish prob is easier with paint though, you could use the rust-technique everybody is using for their HL2-cases but with different colors. It could be quite cool if you had a tft inside the case with a tv-fire (don´t know the english word) going 24/7. Ok, that might be to go too a little bit too far.. Be sure to post some pics after you´re done!
Get some gas.. soak the case with it. Then set it on fire. Make sure you are at a safe distance. DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anythign that happens to you whe n you do this.
You can probably get a pretty sweet burnt look with a regular MAPP or propane torch. If you paint it first then torch the paint, it'll really look burnt. You could also set it on fire at this point, perhaps coat with a little lighter fluid. It's also probable that the fumes from the burning paint aren't very healthy, so do it in a well ventilated outdoor area and wear a respirator. You could also bang the **** out of it with a heavy hammer/small sledgehammer to get a hammered, burnt look like it just came out of a plane crash.
Petrol + Case = Fire Just remember to take the components out first -- I doubt you'd be able to send your mobo back in a matchbox and claim incompetency of the manufacturer
hey guys thanx for the feed bk, ive got a pick at the mo i can show u, But i didnt actually want to set it on fire, but i would like to use the paint affect to do this burnt look, as u can see my attemp sorta looks there. i could always get a blow torch ym dad has and make some scars down the side of it hehe. But preferablly paint would be good to use
Back when I used to paint alot of minitures (its been a long time), I made a bunch of buildings that looked burnt down. What I did was using an airbrush painted burn marks upwards from windows and other openings. Becasue when you think about it, fire burns upward and the smoke rises, so I would suggest around your window to spray upwards along the edge. It would look like flames came out the window sort of like what would happen during a real fire inside your case. Edit: Check out the pictures on this page to see what I'm talking about Here
