Time do some sanding.

















The top is done it only needs some paint.
















That was it for today.

 

BUILD LOG TIME! WHOOP WHOOP!

Keep up the great work and gorgeous build logs!

 

Good luck Pascal.

 

After seeing that, I'm not sure if it's a case mod or a scratch build.

But, hey! Paslis build!

 

Probably it's a scratch mod... or a case rebuild.

 

OI!
Your name has been popping up in everyone else's threads. I thought I'd bum an update.

 

So Cheaps I am confused. Like you said in other Threads. Yeah I know. But Is is PasCal Equals Paslis ?

 

Oooooh, a Paslis build! Instant sub in my book

Good to see familiar faces popping up again. Other than cheaps, he's always doing something lol.

 

@Silicon - Check the dates.
@Icelander - If there's another dude hanging out in the Netherlands named Pascal with this level of fabrication power that helps other pro modders frequently, I haven't seen him.

 

What I'm saying is you always have one log or another going lol. Good stuff, even if your updates are... Paced

 

Hahaha yeah im still alive and helping some people. I had a shitload stuff to do so no time for modding call it a break if you like but im planning to pick up this project soon also the desk i build for my son so stay tuned.

Yeah Pascal equals Paslis.

LOL

I guess it was me then.

 

Cool.

 

Awsome Mr.P

 

Im going to resume this project right after i finished my sons desk.



I gues making a buildlog for this desk cant harm.

 

Hahahahaha

 

My little mans birthday was March 29 and he became 10 years old i worked my behind of to finish his desk in time but because of hardware problems i didnt made it in time.

Yesterday i finally finished the desk for him and he is one HAPPY boy.











Now this is done im gonna see if i can finish the Merlin project.

 

That's the most elaborate 'get the kids off my computer' build ever.
