    After the paint has cured, I dry brushed the shells with "Antiquing Gel" by Home Decor. "Dry brushing" means you are painting with a brush that is almost 100% dry. It's an easy way to create a weathered effect or highlights. These are machined aluminum bullet thumbscrews

    After 2 hours, the "Antiquing Gel" had cured. The final coat is a "Flat" Clear coat aerosol paint by KRYLON

    The thumbscrews are very cool, also the pinting of the logos. Great to see what is doable, and what is not to importunately. I like these simple designed mods. There are many details to find. Great job.

    ooooooo *starts to drool*

    Looking great so far guys. Liking the bullet-style thumbscrews. I reckon anything bigger than 9mm wouldn't really work with the bullet...

    *contemplates how to incorporate 7.62 RK shells......*

    I talked to Johnny Hou at NZXT yesterday. The Panzerbox release has been pushed back to the end of May.

    He says you should see the Panzerbox LAN case in online retail stores mid June.
