thanks !!!
I began to make the horizontal beams
here are some pictures
They are a little bit too long, so I have to make them smaller. (I'll do that later ) :)
I still need to do the front-side and the back-side. But I ran out of plexi.
after a couple hours this is the result.
After this I went to bed to have some sleep :D
Nice update, its coming along very nicely.
Very cool design!
:O this is beautiful...
wont be long till it stands at this rate.
you ain't seen nothing yet.Quote:

So ... a little update.
I sketched the stuts on each metal and each plexi plate (twice)
A lot of work, these things ... but I'm sure they will be worth it ;)
and after this I started on something else.
I'll be jumping from one subject to another - that's my way of working, I hope you don't mind.
These are some pictures for the backside of my case.
In my last case "Helghan", I also made a big logo on the other side of the window... And with this scratch build I want to do the same.
the beginning:
It will be something like you know as "steampunk".
But instead of those copper colors with the old look ... I want to make this like in the casino's.
The cogs will be made of UV orange plexi
The tubes and stuff will be very white
the background / overall color will be blue (UV)
I hope I can make this like it is in my minds.
and I hope you like it 2 :)
cheers
cool...
hmm gunna have a bit of left overs from that pile of alumi and plexi :)
Thx DonT-Fear !!
It has been a while ... I'm sorry for that.
I made some progress though.
Some more sketching, an actual 1/1 scale on paper, not detailed – just for right dimensions ;)
This will be huge … xD but I know I can manage to make it.
Some more sketching
I gave back the figure saw I borrowed from my uncle, In two weeks I hope to buy a new one for myself. I moved on the payout container. This is where you get your chips if you have won something.
To make it a bit more stronger, I made a click system.
It is pretty strong because I can put my grinder on it and the wood doesn’t bend at all.
The edges are smooth, and I sanded the container one more time.
There need to be some chips in it as wel.
I thought about going to someone who could make chips with a mill, or any programmed machine. But my ego is too big, for a machine to make it – I NEED TO MAKE IT MYSELF !! :D
I stared with a sheet of plexi…
Yes I also modded the drill a bit ^^ (if you could mention it as “modding” xD )
Some round chips were born.
After those, my drill … well euhm :)
Ah yes … I almost forgot – I made these before I began doing the drilling of the chips (previous foto)
I made this with a small saw and curved them with a dremel.
I wasn’t satisfied with the result as all, because you can see the scratches very good.
I thought about making a mould / model … maybe the result would be cooler if I used some paint.
Making the model:
A better result now, some chips are disgraceful, but because there are many … nobody will see it :D
Thx for watching, reading
Let me know what you think about it !
amazing work on those chips!! :bowdown:
yeah the chips look sweet great work mate...
Nice work with the chips.
