    Hi guys. :)

    Been sanding and filling and also painting all week so far. This is where I'm currently:

    Still some minor things to sand/fix, but I think it looks quite nice. :)

    Thanks mates! :thumb:

    Alain, I think I posted render earlier to this thread.. Anyway, chassis will be white with some black panels. :)

    Amagriva, work looking almost like Attila's.. That sounds good enough for me. :D

    I'm still fixing tiny things and sanding chassis:

    However only one corner needs fixing anymore. Just a very small dent that needs to be sanded level. Then primer and paint. :)

    This project is coming along very nice, great high precision work too, seems a shame to paint all that nice alu though.

    Thank you guys!

    Very slow progress currently, but luckily I'm not in a hurry.. Still waiting for Ivy Bridge and it's still month or two away. Gives me more time to work. :D

    Should get something done this weekend.. It's just that Melbourne F1 GP is badly messing up my sleep pattern. :hehe:

    Anyway, here's couple small parts painted:

    [​IMG]

    And by the way, new graphics cards are not very convincing to me.. Performance has went up, but price is also doubled or so. Hence I'll be using my old HD5850 for now. Might update it in summer when market has stabilized.

    My HD5850 is a bit dusty, so I might open it for proper cleaning. And while at it, I could also paint the shroud. My color theme is black/white/red, so black/red card fits in.. But I still feel it has too much red:

    [​IMG]

    Maybe red parts could be painted white and leave just that small stripe red? Maybe also leave fan as red.. What do you think? :idea:

    Superb craftmanship... can't tell you anything since it's all perfect!

    That card looks great the way it is, maybe just turn the connector area all black and leave the stripes and the rest untouched.
    Maybe the lettering of the logo could get a minor update like black interior.. :)
