    Default Project [Y ddraig Goch] (The red dragon)


    Greetings
    I'm making this mod as a tribute to those welshmen who came to Argentina in 1865, being pioneers in the colonization of the south of the country.

    "Y ddraig goch" means "The red dragon" and it's the symbol that appears on the welsh flag and on the Madryn Pt. City here in Argentina.





    The mod itself is based on a Codegen 604 Case (I never liked that LCD...) and it's front and superior parts were removed to give place to the new ones


    The Case structure with two layers of Sandable Primer:










    The same with two layers of gloss white:













    I still have to give it a general sanding, and another white layer befor proceeding with the custom acrylic front


    Greetings!

    Looking great. Good job on the dragon, that's some pretty nice detail for a dremel.
