Looks great mate, fantastic detail on the pods.
Very nice this mod is coming along great! +rep
Made by Boddaker says it all. Most people think I have a lot of patience, but this is amazing. All those details! I love it.
(I wrote down the name of that material you use, looks like a great modding material)
This is right up there with Paul's Doom 3 mod in my book.
Outstanding detail!
Thanks a lot guys!
:eek: I think that's the best compliment a modder can get. Thank you! :D
I'll have an update up shortly. Got stuck doing fix-its around the house all weekend, with only a few hours last night left for modding. Most of which was planning for the week. I might get the end caps done tonight, so I can post pics of that at least. :)
Got a bit more work done on the pods' end caps. I sanded the edges down to where they look nice and even,
then I applied a bunch of spot filler around the outside as well as inside.
Let it dry, then sanded it down smooth.
A quick shot of primer shows the progress. This one needs a bit more work.
That's it for this update!
Nice, yay painting lol.
Well, I can't really do much more with the pods until I get the mesh in. I want to get those in before
attaching them to the side panels, and that is the next step. So I thought I would put them aside and
continue work on the front bezel. Here are a couple teaser pics, as there are a lot more (yes, I've been holding out!). :p
I removed the mesh from the door and marked the area to be cut.
...and cut it out with my trusty jig saw.
Here is a shot of it back on the case, stripped of its anodization, and with some added framework I built
using aluminum flat bar. I neglected to record the actual cutting and bending for this, but that is all
basic stuff and you didn't want to be bored with that anyways. It utilizes the original mounting holes for
the mesh on the reverse side of the door.
The idea is to provide support for the lcd screens and the slot loading DVD drive. More on the layout later. ;)
The Stacker's original power button/reset/usb/audio port assembly will return to its original location,
but with some modifications (of course!). Again, more on that later, as pics will better illustrate what
I have planned. :twisted:
I'm sure most of you are happy to see something new and different other than more engine pod updates!
I know I am! The detailing and such can get very monotonous and repetitive, which is why I'm trying
to liven things up here and posting something different and refreshing!

Looks nice buddy. Are you going to be using A.C Ryan MeshX? If so, it's great to use, easy to cut and paint.
