    Glad you like it :thumb:

    Painting it Flat Black to match the case. The cross drilled holes will remain bare aluminum.

    Instead of masking off 56 holes with tape and cutting them with exacto knife, to save time we made a sheet of 3/8" circle vinyl appliques last night to cover the cross drill holes before painting the top carry handle

    Great idea Bill! I would have probably cut the circles right on my roll of masking tape, but this is MUCH cleaner, and doesn't ruin the entire roll of tape lol. :thumb:

    Eggxactly Bodd!

    Thanks!

    I got the Matte Black finish for the top carry handle done today.

    I really like the contrast of aluminum with Matte Black.

    Coming together great Bill. The top handle is real aluminum goodness. The pistol trigger would have been great to function as some sort of power switch, turn on lazer light sight maybe. Just a stray thought.
    Love the video card shroud. Nice that attention to detail isn't always about what shows most.
    I get satisfaction just knowing something looks good even when others will never see it.
    Looks to me like you're having fun with this one, sure sign of art and execution coming together the way it should.

    Love the handle but I personally think it would've been even more awesome if you could've just covered the angled bits and painted the insides of the holes as well if you get what I mean.

    Anyways... rep++ for pure awesomeness and a gun. :thumb:

    @ perplekks45, Thank you! that would have been cool too!


    Exactly! I love walking around something like a custom car for example, and finding details everyone else missed. As if the builder hid some details just for me to find later :D

    That is an excellent handle. Is there a locking mechanism to keep the pistol in place?

    Thanks stonedsurd :thumb:

    No, it's fitted snug enuf without scratching the barrel.


    Things are in limbo for the Wolfenstein PC until I get some other customer commitments finished. It sounded like Razer wanted to come onboard and sponser us with their Lycosa keyboard and new Mamba Mouse, but I haven't any update on those yet.

    We just got confirmation Razer is onboard as our new sponser! Thank you Razer!
    We'll be using the Lycosa keyboard and new Mamba wireless gaming mouse. I really look forward to trying out the Mamba!

    Razer always goes above and beyond with their ultra cool packaging

    We're already thinking about what to painting on the kb & mouse. Considering this dude from the new Wolfenstein. It will be the "Mwhahaha Mamba" mouse!
