Going to watch it later today!

And good luck with the mod! I'll defenitly watch this one :)

Nice mod man, I also plan to do a Bleach hollow tribute for my case(well its a cube). its going to be mostly the 2 Vizard masks I have seen so far, ichigo's hollow mask and menos grande masks with body. (I may also add some of the espada mask like Ulquiorra) but nice mod, I can wait to see it finished.

uuu, this is interesting.. you see, after watching the entire series and having taken a lot of screen shots.. I can say that the masks are prime mod material.. So, good luck and can't wait to see what takes shape from our dark imaginations :>

after a couple more hours of modding the desings ;), I ended up here:

..evolved window side.. I don't like this that much.. so I'll redo it :)

..the other side :) this I just love.. going very well with the mask and Zangetsu's shredded coat :)

I'm having some trouble making a uniform shredded pattern.. Because I ain't using any models, but rather drawing them after an idea.. I get some various conflicting ideas.. And now, I think I must rework the window side..

You may be wondering why the hell am I trying so hard to do these shapes in 3d.. well, I plan on having them printed in full size so that I can use them as masks, pardon the pun, for either painting or cutting vinyl layers :) Hopefully, my dad can help me there, as 50x50cm prints should be possible with a big f-ing plotter :D Then, I'm gonna cut the model with a nice and sharp blade and glue it somehow for either painting or.. for good..
Going to sleep now, I have to wake in less than 6 hours for more house-work... bye

...Although I did more modeling, I can't just move a mouse and have a case "rendered" in real life :think: :alien: So, it is time for some fabrication :)

So, let's see what we have after stripping the case:

..empty shell of the cheap kind.. made of flimsy.. and easy to cut steel!

..this is where I wanna etch.. something: either the name of the case/project or something else..

..uuh.. I wanted to make something, cause I have some 1mm Aluminum to spare, but they are too small to do any case work.. so, they will be radiators for the transistors in the fan controllers..

..something like this..

..or this..

..or this.. unfortunately, I must have f*@#ed somewhere.. Cause I burnt the transistors.. Not to worry, as I expected it.. So I bought some spare NPNs :) and made the unit back, but without the make-shift rads.. Still, I have no clue where I did wrong, as I did use shims to isolate the transistors and I did install radiators before, without side-effects..

I marked the plexi piece for the holes I will drill for the LEDs.. sometimes..

this is something I spent all day on.. the front aluminum piece that will hold 2 120mm fans..

in the meantime of not modding and thinking.. I bought some vinyl and some bolts and nuts.. and masking tape and other things..

then I cut these using the angle grinder and the 'dremel'.. took much longer than expected cause I wasn't happy with it: first, I found out that this is a weird aluminum that is tougher to cut, but brakes easily. So, after marking round holes, I cut what u see.. then sanded, filed and cut again.. took a looong time to get it closer to my needs..

.. after tweaking a lot I got here: no drill means I had to use force and a screwdriver to make holes..

..this is after putting one fan.. then two..

..this is where they will go after I cut the case too..

..till that point comes, the fans are 5 volted and used to cool my amp :)

more to come tomorrow :)

You are amazing! I absolutely love what I am seeing with the renders. The masks and shredded cloth looks great.

Good start, should turn out great.

with those transistors you could try putting a bit of thermal paste on them before the 'heatsinks'
