Project: unit 4

well,
Hi folks^^
so first up some things about me: I'm 16 years old living in germany so dont expect well english xD. lets go on now...
yes this mod isn't my first one so im not a modding noob but not a pro like crimson sky or tribaloverkill ;) . Im visiting this forum for about 9 months every day, but today i finally decided to log in here :).
what could you expect here?
well i guess very bad spelling and more worse jokes ;) many pictures of my daily progress and many questionmarks in my replies, because i think im just understanding half of what you are saying, so please be gentle if im rude, i don't want to ;)
so here is it, im gonna build a casemod looking like the unit 4 in tchernobyl, here you go with the case some sketches and some movie shots:
first up the ATX desktop case:

putting in my collected self killed hardware :D

disambling and throwing it all back in ;)

and now the sketches:
the new front:

an overview:

a closer look in the reactor:

well as you can see not many details, but i cant make them in sketchup so u poorly have to wait until im building them cuz i cant explain them :(
so here are the movie shots i made:

and at least my sketch file :

i hope youll like it ;)
greetings :banana:

thats an awsome idea for a mod.
I'll def be watching this thread

Cool concept, it'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

Interesting Idea. Don't worry about English, there's a lot of guys here who don't speak great English, and there's never been problems. :)

hehe thank you for beeing so kind with me...
so yesterday evening i decided to create a crappy cardboard model, dont wonder, i'll take the dimensions from the sketches, so here they are:

by the way if you want to learn a sentence german see me and my mod in TV watch this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3PUsyTmRs0

Oo double post aswell....
*opening the dictinary* well lets see....
today i went to the lokal hardware store and buyed *some* modding stuff i need (and yes i know that i have to type the "i" big, my english teacher shouted at me on the last exam but i dont care here :D )
so here's the list of what i bought:
2 fiberglas vinyl's for creating a unique airduct with harder and resin..
normal filling compount
isolatin foam to create the shape of the duct
a protective mask for the disgusting dust while sanding xD
large tiles of *i cant remember that stupid name" wood for the ground shape of the building
a very long flat steel piece, i guess its about 2 and a half meters long, but i cant tell you how many inches they are...
so this is the holy picture of my improved selfmade table and my workspace

Check Family Fare Ad and Fareway Ad.

This looks like a nice mod. I'll be looking forward to how it turns out.

Looks like a good idea for a mod. I'll be watching this too.

Oh, and your english is alot better than my german:p, so don't worry about it. *as I leave to work on my german final*

Nice mod, looks a bit like a theme-mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:

Hang on and Grüße aus München!

hey guys... im sad.... i want to hear your opinion about the mod them ive chosen, becaus a german kick ass modder sad that the theme of chernobyl sucks, well it was an accident and many people died because of it.. i really dont know what to do now, i like the style and the theme but my conscience says that he is right... hes according it with a world trade center casecon so im really sad and confused and dont know what i should do, plz help me

I think the theme is great! Despite the fact that Chernobyl was a terrible tradgedy, it was a hugely significant event in history that changed our perception of nuclear energy. By modding a computer based on it, as an artist you need to stand behind your choice of themes with confidence. Besides, it is not like you are celebrating the loss of life, you are celebrating it's historical significance. I would say the same thing to someone modding a comp to look like the WTC.

Yeah man, do the mod! Think of WWII. That was pretty damn tragic if you ask me, but look at the hundreds of games, mods, movies, etc. that are based off it.

Do the mod, and forget what that person said.

hell YEAHHHHH thanks mates gonna be a kcik ass thing, there are always people who dont like it, so I dont care now thanks.

i want to ad a little piece of aluminium on the grass with red letters "REMEMBER" is that a good idea?

Just say it's based of stalker if you hear that again

Its a great idea. Mod on.

Have you seen this site? http://www.kiddofspeed.com/chapter1.html

There's some debate on whether she actually visited the site on a motorcycle but there's some good ideas for your mod.

You could try to incorporate this tree or statue into your mod.

The day after the accident, this place on the bridge provided a good view of the gaping crack in the nuclear containment vessel that was ruptured by the explosion. Many curious people came here to have a look and were bathed in a flood of deadly x-rays emanating directly from the glowing nuclear core

woah...

Prometheus Wept: Outside the administration building at Chernobyl there is a statue of Prometheus. Prometheus, according to Greek myth, stole fire from the heavens, gave it to humans and was punished severely for his deed. After seeing the consequences of a nuclear disaster, ten years after Chernobyl exploded, Prometheus seems an appropriate metaphor.

did some angle grinding today
the cd drive cutout

those mounting bubbles have to go

bubbles gone

see ya old cd drive holder things

this thing fits!

my workbench after grinding

thats all for today, tomorrow ill gonna add the wooden plate

peace out

hey guys...

another thing i worry about, do you think i can get in trouble if i place the stalker logo on this thing, i mean the logo is under copyright n stuff so i dunno if i got to ask for permission...?

you arent using it for your own profit, so there shouldnt be a problem with putting it on there

I would ask for a sponsorship, personally. Ask them to send you 20$ and you put the STALKER logo on there. ;)

lets go :D
