Hehe thanks. Well, if the alien isn't going to make it we could always rename the casemod to "alien autopsy" ;) Let's see if i can make some progress today with building a prothese leg made out of aluminium.

well well, finally I took the step to register at TBCS and one logical thing to do after that is to compliment your great work with a big +rep!
You're right, it's great ;) I've just been waiting for an update :(
Good thing! (to register yourself ;) ) Thanks, good to see your new project at TBCS as well, i'm sure the result is going to be great.Quote:

But I'm damn to busy at work, each week i work +/-60 hours In the middle of dirt, cold and heat and it takes 4 hours drinving each day.
It's breaking me up :( When i arrive at home i'm watching my list of daily websites, take a shower and go to bed. Really annoying to work this way.
But december will be a modding month i guess since i told my chief i'm not going to that %&^%^%$ project back in december.
Can imagine that you don't have the energy to get started with the modding. I will be looking forward to december :) If you get even half the amount of results as tribaloverkills' month off, the amount of work done will be massive:DQuote:

Hmm, i had some time left today for modding, but i could have spend it more usefull....
The monitor was already sprayed black since a few weeks. It had a nice smooth finish because i applied 7 thin layers and after each layer i sanded it with k600.
Today i thought it would be nice to have a dark green heartbeat line across the display housing to break the black color.
But then, i removed the masking tape, and the black coat came off. I tried to fix it by smoothen it with sanding, but no, it ain't gonna look good this way.
If it's ^&*%-up i could test a white line with the airbrush anyway. Next to it there has a lot of coat ripped off when i removed the masking tape.
So i sanded all the coat around the 'accident zone' away with k180. Next thing to do is smoothen it with k250 and higher before i can start the painting procces again.
Conclusion:
- Primer doesn't hold on smooth, unsanded, plastic
- Paint holds up well on the sanded edges of the case
- next time: sand all the plastic
Don't think i will add the green line after i'm done with fixing this ;)
Ouch, i would have thrown it in the bin.
Ouch, that hurts!
But, one thing I learned from setbacks like this: "The result eventually only gets better!"
Have you tried the blue painters tape. I know the adhesive on the painters tape is less aggressive than regular masking tape.
