    Hi everybody :)

    So, that is our first "really" mod, So all your indulgence for the project (and excuse our poor english ;))

    the specificity of this mod is that we are two (me and wouaibman), so yes,
    twice as many ideas, twice fun, arms etc :p

    That project is for a friend, who wanted a mod with a spider

    the only criteria he had, is just a spider (tastes and colors...), and using the big chakra case from enermax[​IMG], the rest is all we want ;)

    we therefore "naturally" thought of creating a spider in an electronic trip "futuristic", which is fixed on

    the side door of the box with a cutting spiderweb in the plexi,
    the friend in question was in no hurry and can not buy all the pieces immediately, the hardware and watercooling happen according to him.
    this is the general idea.


    and of course we started with ... Spider;)
    For the beggining, no pics :/ (we thought the worklog a little late ;)), but some explications ;)

    The body of the spider is in Komacel (2 rectangles of 10 glued together), sanded to have a base.


    For the cover of spider, we did tests on an old plate epoxy, and rendering us seemed sufficiently

    satisfactory to be adopted:)

    for the 1st layer of epoxy, we found quite flexible printed circuit (for a printed circuit what ...).
    Several small cuts and more, and for the legs, a plate of 1mm aluminium and a Nibblers: p[​IMG]
    (phone pics for the first pics, sorry for that... )

    To the rear of the beast, a coil recovered del + a fit with its stand quite well;)

    Then just paint legs, black with red end (giving a kind of burgundy)
    [​IMG]
    The legs are a little empty, so we tried a "texturing" of a sudden Dremel paint on legss

    [​IMG]

    We then attacked some details, as the head of the bug, a little paint on the legs in order to see the textures with "transparency", and adding a few other things;) (finally photos taken with a real camera :p)

    then adding the piece that used to hold a gun (the black-green thing)

    cutting a piece in komacel to manufacture the rear of the cannon, and painting.
    [​IMG]
    so you can see the size of the beast:) (with one leg less)
    [​IMG]

    Otherwise this is the wonderful big chakra with superfluous withdrawn;)
    The little guy from Enermax assured :) the doors are provided independently to be right or left ;) the cutting which we greatly limited happening on the reverse side, and we are free to make the cut we want :)
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    plots of the door:)
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    and part of the cutting (not had time to do everything today: /)
    [​IMG]
    still "a little" sanding:)
    otherwise, emptying the box to paint the inside
    [​IMG]
    And the paint :)
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]


    So, after verification, we add a small layer in the case:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    then jigsaw to finish the bulk of the cuts :)
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    after a while sanding and Dremel, the cutting of the facade is almost finished ;)
    [​IMG]

    anyway, the ramifications of the spider web will be hidden by plexi, plexi which has been rightly cut from this afternoon;)
    ends fit between them, will see how it's going to make with paint, and probably some led cms (not yet on a 100% led ...);)

    [​IMG]
    The beast is normally found at that location once the facade finished:)
    [​IMG]
    speaking of the beast, a few photos of the moment changes;)
    [​IMG]
    after a bit of paint artwork on the head and several other pieces, it is now more integrated
    [​IMG]
    establishment pistons also remains a bit of paint to model on the legs)
    [​IMG]
    and finally, a vision on the current status of the gun ... it lacks something, but there is not yet what:p[​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    (we did more than that, but the translation takes a little time :/ to see the current in French, go to this page: http://www.modding.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1912&start=0 Otherwise, the rest here in few day ;) )
