Rusty, angelic, and badass .

Added some rust (looks a bit orange, will go over with light sandpaper before the final polyurethane coat), and an angelic figure on the side. Also added Seeker blood stains. Enjoy!

Paint is dry. Later this week I will add polyurethane in layers to give a 3-D effect. Also, the front will be sanded slightly in the corners, to further indicate wear. There will be a clear piece with black sides on the front of the case (further explanation will come either tomorrow/the next day).

Finally, a dark shot...

Still have to work on the front piece, add some hinges, a few special pieces mentioned later, and work on the side window a lil' more.

looks good. wish i could do that stuff...

looking great... just curious - how do those speaker tube things work? I've got a couple of old speakers I wouldn't mind experimenting with...

I'm not sure if he's in Germany or not at the moment as he's going there sometime soon if he's not there already (progbuddy and I live about ten minutes away from each other), but I've seen them firsthand. They work quite well, if I remember correctly, they have pretty good bass too, and you can feel the air moving out of the end when the volume's up a bit higher and there's more bass.

so the idea is just that you get better sound out of a speaker attached to the back of a tube?

I assume so. Progbuddy would have to be the one describe how they really work, my theory is just that, a theory.

Yeah... lol

The tube channels the sound waves in such a way that it amplifies them and sends them to a specific point. If a pane of plexiglass were to be placed in a certain angle towards your ear above the tube opening, the sound would pass through the air towards your ear with very little diffusion, creating a vibrant sound.

so basically its cleaner sound?
