Very clean install, it looks like it belongs there. I like it! Have fun in Spain.

Heyhey,
Next update :) with the screen secured to the chassis, I can now start work on making a new front panel, yipee xD
Ive ordered a 5 1/2" to 3 1/2" bay convertor, so I can create a solid support for my CD drive as its smaller than a normal one... Should arrive in a few days.
Ive made a few cardboard cut outs to see what I have to fill in with car body filler, or another idea to cut a solid plate out of aluminium.. hmm :)
And I had a quick fiddle with the button panel, well and idea at least. power button on the left, HDD led in the middle and reset on the right. The buttons are te same hex heads i used on the window panels, keeps a theme going quite nice :)
Well, thats all today, I have some work to do over the next few days so next update will be around the weekend :)
weeeyheeey, Hi again chaps, sorry for kinda dissapearing on you all the time... i hate procrastination... anyway, finally got back round to working on this damned bezel meaning the mod is comming close[r] to completion. :banana:
so, two years later and im finally going to finish it all up, heres a few snapshots of what ive worked on over the last few days:
The second layer of p38 onto the bezel:
Edges sanded to a crisp corner:
Inserting the balsa wood to fill out spaces
Another shot of the bezel coming into shape
oh and one of the reasons ive been sidetracked...
painting a WWII M1 helmet... dum de dum (not finished :) )
I will be finishing off the last bits of p38 soon and move onto priming and painting
until next time, all the best
Welcome back! Good to see you return to the site, looking forward to more updates on this mod. :)
Hey nice, I'm glad to see this project get finished, I remember looking at this a while ago and thinking it was neat.
Hi and cheers for the support Luke, and chaksq, i also remeber looking at this for quite some time lol...
anyway, couple more pictures, not that exciting but hey least im getting something done :)
filled in some of the craters left by my shoddy filling with some fine filler:
did a third layer of p38 on the corners to make them even crispier:
With a bit of luck i'd have finished it off tomorrow and can get on with priming it ready for paint. the next step is to create a perspex cover for the entire thing... however sourcing that stuff in small quantities is tough.
what do you reckon to the outside edges of the bezel being silver and the rear of the perspex a panther black to cover the joins and bezel of the screen..?
