first case mod "punisher"

[Coll]

hello i have been roaming the forums for a while...and seen the amazing work that ppl do on here. so here is my first case hehe plz go easy on me. its from one of my favorite movies The Punisher. hope you like it took me about 2 weeks to complete.

i am a college student so dont have $$ to blow on stuff inside the case atm but its going to have blue lights coming out of it once i can afford it.

here are the pics

this is when i stripped the panel of all of its color.

yeah like i said college aint cheap i dont have that kind of money atm but am working on saving it for the inside stuff. its gonna be a blue theme going on inside.

sgtm

thank you for the rep i would have never thought id get any hehe thx again. i used a dremel for the cutting i drew the outline on the inside of the case and cut it all up re did the paint on it to match the rest of the case cause i got quit a few deep scratches in it while working on it.

Wicked. + Rep

I think it would have been cool if you had taken the panel after that first pic and just clear coated it then. The brushed metal effect looks awesome. Mabey next time. It does give me a great idea to try that.

Oh yeah, one more suggestion. Get some dark plexiglass and glue it to the inside. It would totally finish the look. Then if your feelin really wild, put a red cathode light on the inside. That would look absolutely bad ass.

Welcom to TBCS Coll,

Looks sweet, I love the Punisher! Great job on your first mod by the way. I do agree with the above in that it would really set it off to mount a dark red sheet of plexi behind your skull with some ominous red back-glow. Looks great though!

Very nice, my first cut ended up in the scrap bin.

Agree with the plex idea.

Maybe lightly smoked plex with red lighting.

Welcome dude.

Looks good! You did a great job cutting that out and anyone who has seen the movie would know that was the punisher without you having to tell them - that's what makes it so good!

gald everyone likes it there is actuly a clear plexiglass on there right now..but the more i look at it the more i think the idea of a dark redish one would be better. so that is a new project for me im probably going to write the punisher under the skull in white letters it will add a lil extra.

thank you all for the rep and looking forward to see some of your work.

Case looks great. Very professional looking. The punisher skull looks perfect.
