Metropolis RED mod (title changed)

[Vaantal]

Thanks Tybrenis.. I wish you could have seen my freak out when my practice run went bad... Took deep breaths and went very slow...

Logo ive been working on, just for fun. The real one will be cut from metal

Red maybe ? (At the side)

Use Those Dremel skillz you have to etch the name into the Plex.


(Those are some nice cuts for your first time )

I like the Look when it's all lite up!


Keep up the good work!

Nice work man, etching the name would be sweet. You could light it from the side, so that the letters seem to glow out of the plastic.

Aww... etching.. I didn't even think of that. Great idea

Do you guys have any tips or a step-by-step that I could check out to get me started in the right direction. The idea with the lights is good, I saw a Defyant mod that used LED's mounted to the edge of the plex, would that work for highlighting etching??

Man... so stoked about trying this.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm hoping to make more progress soon, been waiting on components to arrive and working a lot. Keep checking back, I love the feedback it totally motivates me to push on with this mod

Try HERE
It's not a great link but it might give you some ideas and if you have a routing table then yay. For etching, i've never actually done it myself, but i'm sure one of the other guys will post something useful. Sorry i couldn't be more helpful.

Nice link crazybillybob.

Off topic: I notice that you too write your name at the bottom of every post, instead of putting it in the sig...wonder why we do that?

Just trying to bring a personal touch to the Digital world. Plus if It's worth the time to make a lengthy post it's worth the time to "Sign" It.


I Started back on boards that sig's weren't an option, so you had to do it by hand, I just keep it that way now.
