That is really the only solution. the servo horn is not flexing itself. Nor is the box the LCD is in. Its the small 3/16" diameter plastic shaft that has the splines on it that is flexing. I can look for a steel shaft. Maybe that would help.Quote:

Here's a small update tonight.
Here is another shot of the side panel kit bashing.
I decided it was time to get some paint on this. I still have some kit bashing to do but I figured it couldn't hurt. Plus it gave me a break from all the cutting and gluing.
Before I could paint some parts I had to apply some of that liquid mask to some areas.
So first I primed some pieces with Red primer. It was all I had in the garage at the time.
Still wet!
Then i found some flat black and gave them a light coat.
I have to go buy more primer and paint to finish the panels and do the rest of the parts. Still have the top and whole front of the case to prime and paint yet.
thats it for now.

LOL, your right, I raided my old toy box at my parents house. I even found my all my old starwars toys. I have an original Milenium Falcon and X-Wing Fighter that had a broken wing, that I was going to use for some parts, but I just couldn't see myself cutting it up. But as for the Transformers. they were already in pieces so It didn't matter much.

not sure if I'm folowing you. the black paint is just a base coat, there will be alot of air brushing and hand painting of all the parts, and then I'm going ot weather the entire thing similar to the turbine. So it will have the used/weathered/rustic look to it. But I can see doing some ares that look like they have been damaged, That is a good idea!

Hey guys, I've been pretty busy getting things ready for paint. I primed and painted everything a black base coat and found I had some issues with the liquid mask that I used. It wasn't cooperating with me, so I've had to result to the good old masking tape method in some areas, and I've had to redo some of the illuminated lables. The liquid mask didn't want to release from the printed labels I made for the fan controller and the hdd activity light. So I head to tear them out and remake them. The front switch panel came clean at least. -we;ll see how it looks when its done.
I also notices some of the paint got into some of my hinges like on the louvers on the top intake. Now they are almost impossible to move and it actually broke the actuator arm. So now I have to redo that entire louver assembly. :mad:
-Sorry I don't have any pics right now. I've been taking them, just haven't uploaded them yet.
I'm very frustrated right now!

I must have been hit by the bad luck bug recently. I've been assembling the case piece by piece after i've fixed a few things and painted everything black.
Now I noticed that my DVD drive is not working properly. See this post:
