0o0o0o0o! I want that exacto knife set. That thing just caught my idea. Good work so far and GJ on the bondo. I will be following this one.
I'm having a hard time getting this arc how I want it. Spent a lot of time on it today, so I really don't have many pics. I took the main case side to the waterjet cutter today though, should have that back next week. Yay!
Did a little work on the bottom. What the 'bottom' was:
Mockup. I filled in the holes on the feet, and I tried to get them level. Without a belt sander I'm at a loss for a way to get all the pieces perfectly flat together.
Standing mockup. Looks awesome IMO:
Case front before:
After:
Sanded it a bit more, this is where the arc will go:
That's some great stuff!
This is where the design of the arc will go:
Little more bondo, got a lot more to do:
I've got some big stuff to do to this case tomorrow, I'm stoked. Hopefully it will turn out well.
I am definitely going to watch this one, I really am interested to see it progress!
Yeah I'm looking forward to see this mod progress, nice idea and like what you have done with the candle holder for feet :up:.
Ok, so super fun updates!
All taped up:
The first freehand one:
Took me about 10 minutes to draw these:
30 minutes later:
About two hours later:
I spray painted it a nice gold, and I think if turned out well. Special thanks to Luke122 for turning me on to the design:
Here is the material I'm going to cover the sides in:
I'm headed out on vacation soon, so I won't have time to put the wrap on or take pics of the finished front. I also bought a two stage gold crackle spray paint to do the feet with, and that should turn out well too.
looking good mate i like the arc!
that foam is weird stuff i have used it before
Update!
The incredible watercut I got from Atlantis Waterjet!
Leo helping again:
Trying to put the covering on:
Base coat of green:
Looks damn good on the case:
Slight mockup:
Trees I'm considering for the case:
Mockup with the vinyl:
I started masking off the areas for the second coat, but ended up peeling a small piece of paint off because I'm impatient. More to come tomorrow hopefully!
wow that piece came back great!! Can't wait to see more!
thats a sweet cut! love the design for this, very unique! :)
That is a sick cut you got there, how much did it cost?
Btw, the case is starting to look sexy!
