Re: BMW M power Themed Level 10
Not much of a major update as my weekend turned out a lot busier than I planned (in other words misses had me out shopping... one of my top 10 hates that)... anyway the acrylic is cut.
Obviously the two large sections are as I mentioned for the lower section and the smaller section for the upper, the two lower sections will be sandwiched together with the black tint on the outside, I will be mounting these in a similar position to the original and etching the red acrylic with the front of the BMW seen airbrushed onto the back of the case.. However as the top window needs no etching. Let us see how that looks placed in.
As you can see it slightly tints the opening (will be having lights that can be switched on and off). I actually love the way it sits nice and flush to the panel. Hopefully more of the stuff turns up early this week and I can actually get everything setup minus the bottom windows.

Just a little update, Etching started on the front panel,
Remeber this is on the back
Then in the front lower window this
P.S the etching is on the inside so that once flipped it gets a better lit up effect from enternal lights. it will also be the right way so that it lines up with the rear of it airbrushed on the back.
Re: BMW M power Themed Level 10
Back again with some more pictures of etching progress, as mentioned the window etch is going to be the opposite of the rear etch.
Here is the picture that we are working from
This had to be flipped for the etching so that when the acrylic is etched it will be on the inside
As you can see its now backwards, but it will be the right way round once done, anyway here is the progress so far
And if we flip it we are left with this so far

They cant really be called competition can they, I wanted to my level 10 to be unique, he wanted his to be unique but went the whole hog, I just had a awful day doing some wiring in the case.... then you look at his and i think he has the patance of a saint with all his wiring. I am not saying i like his more than I like mine, but OMG he has gone above and beyond with his and i love it too...

Looking forward to seeing your next piece as it's built - seeing the end result is always nice, but it's much more fun watching it grow :D
Re: BMW M power Themed Level 10

Re: BMW M power Themed Level 10
That etching is art, and I don't give that sort of praise often.
