It's near, hold on... I want it mounted february 17 and tomorrow i'll do a hard sanding job to paint all internal pieces until the weekend when i'll start some exterior textures.

Thank you !

Some work i did today is preparation to others.

This is how i intend to mount the Alien vs. Predator playset, over a iluminated black plaxi plate engraved... (wow)

This is the cut i'll use as the playset base:

As i intent to engrave over black paint, i did it today, to do the engraving job on next week, when the paint will be totaly dry to suport the work with minimal secondary damages.

Well, tomorrow i'll sand some pieces, so, i prepared some parts to do an one time job...

See you folks.

Pedro Torres.

Do not resist, this is the way it will be on case. With a small elevation. The paint job pop up explendid. I'll wait it dry completly next week to do the engraving work.

See you tomorrow,

Pedro Torres.

BTW-> I'll apreciate sugestions about the figure i must engrave on this alien vs. predator base. Anything like an alien texture or hierogliplhos, things like that... Thanks.

Just started the sanding job and those toys arrived to stop the works...

Later i'll put some photos e also when mount then.

This Cooldrive 5 is a beautifull dream... Amazing...

This items are the reason to transparent front panel, i could't hide this things, they're really nice.

See you later,

Pedro Torres.
