Case Mod - In Progress Project: Diabolo (12-12-11 Final Picks)

this case worries me ! i dont know why yet but i fear it.

 

I did think of sacrificing a goat, you know, to make the whole demon thing more ritualistic... but the mess... and it´s actually not that easy to buy a goat in a city as it turns out so you know... I geared away from that idea : )

 

Update:

Sanded the solid expoxy down and applied the second and final coat of the stuff:











At one point I was thinking of 3rd epoxy filler layer to make it all one smooth surface, but then I though it would look very artificial, this way it looks like it has a lot of wear and tear, and the once painted in a way to reflect that it should look pretty awesome : )

 

This is horny!

 

lol Nutman ; )

---------------------------

Quick Update:

So I just ordered a few goodies, this should complete the list of accesories : )

Sharkoon Cold Cathode 30 4x RED Kit,



Sunbeam Cold Cathode 30cm single UV.



Revoltec 5.25" Fan Controller (will be painted according to color scheme).



L.I.S. Premium Silver Frontal Unit (will be painted according to color scheme and in shape of a mouth, teeth, etc).



Aquacomputer Aquabox Professional 5 Black Reservoir (will be painted to act as the eyes)



EK-Ekoolant Blood Red 1000ml x2



EK Waterblocks EK-KIT H30 - Supreme LT 360 Cu



All to arrive on Monday : )

 

Neat stuff.

 

In deed, should turn out nicely : )

 

Update:

I´ve given the horns one more coat of epoxy to round things up and give them their final shape before sanding down in order to get them ready for paint.





And started coating the rest of the case with the "skin" which will be painted in a mixture of black, brown, blood red and fire red tones...
...infected blisters anyone?











Now to let it dry till tomorrow.

 

Very devilish.

 

looks good so far Luciel cant wait to see more updates

Thanks Peteski : )

At least until tuesday there should be daily updates : )

 

So I went down to the workshop and all is dry and looks awesome, however, the foam, while giving a great skin effect not only to the eye but to the touch is just to frail, I can see chunks of it coming off as soon as I´ll be handling the case so I´ll be proceding to doing the rest of the case in the same manner and covering it all on top with a very thin layer of epoxy, so all the shapes are kept but it´s becomes much less frail

 

Update:

I´ve aplied first coat of "skin" to the rest of the areas that where meant to have it. Once dry (in a couple of hours) I will cover all "skin" areas with a very very thin layer of epoxy, so it still keeps the detail but becomes much stronger (it is quite frail on it´s own).

 

Second Update of the Day:

Second and final coat of "skin" (for this one, epoxy as opposed to foam) done. Now it has to dry, tomorrow I will sand any imperfections of over the edge material and prep it for paint (primer).

 

looking good Luciel

 

Cheers!

 

Really looking forward to this one being painted an' all....

 

if all goes well, will be painting tomorrow (if the shop is open as it´s the local festivities)

 

Update:

Ok, so, imperfections sanded down, panels put togueter, masking tape...















...and first coat of primer paint. Needs a second coat but I´m out of primer so will have to wait till tomorrow so I can go get some (was going aniway to buy the actual paint).















I´m really starting to see the final picture : )

 

Looking good. I really like the foam idea!
