Manhattan Juggernaut

[ESX]

Forget about Makeshift, Manhattan Juggernaut is here!
First things first, the intro:
The name consists of two names: Manhattan Project and Juggernaut.
Manhattan Project: Remember the Radioactive grill I made for makeshift? I'm going to use it here, as well as some other parts I've already made.
Juggernaut: Sort of a big, boxy, low-tech spaceship design, rust and stuff..

Anyways, I don't really have any drawn plans or anything,as I come up with ideas in the process of modding.

So let me begin.

This is the grill I was talking about. Repainted a little. Going to use it somewhere :)

Tomorrow I'm going to work on a switch and continue working on the face plate. :)
And yea, the fan is probably going to be covered later.

The rust on that grill came out pretty good, what is that thing sitting on top of the case?

The red thingie? Thats a set of screwdrivers :) You know, those small things

Did the switch panel today.
Also, Now I'm facing a little dilemma: The paint that I'm using isnt really made for this stuff, and it comes off if scratched.
So, my idea was to paint rust, but if I go over it with clearcoat, it wouldn't look very rusty now would it? Or I can ditch the rust idea and leave it black.
What do you guys think?
Anyways, today's worklog:

Cut out the plastic:

Gah, Now I dont know if I will continue with the rust theme, or abort it >_>

well.. there is a kind of clear coat that doesn't leave a glossy surface.. I think it is called opaque clear coat, but I don't remember.. I've heard of it in a post here, but a long time ago.. This kind of coat offers the same protection, but doesn't shine :) So, you could still go with the rust theme..
