Hey all,

Im back on the project, stronger than ever. I recently won the modders challenge, and i thought that seeing as i have been given this award, i should give back to the Modding community, and continue with my Half life 2 based mod.

I took the side vents off the case and painted these white, then sanded, then red, then sanded, then red with a black mist over the top and then clear coated them, the result can be see here:

I then masked the area outside of the side vent and painted these white and black, to give a dirty white look, im fairly pleased, i then clear coated the whole thing:

I Went out later this week during college and bought a Crow bar for my case, £3.99 (what a bargain). I intend to mount it on the top (after painting it) as a handle.

I then began to mark out the window on the side opposite to the moby:

After this was done i started to paint the other side of the case (i will paint the window side after cutting it). I had a minor disaster, I was forced to paint outside by the powers that be, and as a result the wind blew and dust went right accross my case. I had had a bad day already as it was, so i got my nail and wrote TW*T across it in anger. and went for relaxing browse through tbcs. Later that night i sanded the whole thing back and reapplied the paint, about 5 coats so far to clear up all of the little lumps and bumps.

Finally, the most recent step i have taken is to mount my finished logo on the door of the case, i intent to also mount a fan controller prior to me finishing this paint job. As you can see i have masked off the logo as i dont want to ruin the finished part on the top, and i have used ripped parts of my A level maths sheets (which i have now dropped, so boyah, no more critical path analysis etc)

Im going to work more on the project tomorrow, work on the paint job and do some stencil work on the other side.

Thanks for reading!
