Project Gmod

[SKDgarbage]

Hello everyone, this is my first actual mod. Just starting with my G5 mouse and G15 keyboard with a case to follow eventually. I don't have any "before" pictures cause I'm sure everyone knows what these look like well here's what I have done so far (they'd probably be done if my air compressor would've cooperated )

As you can see, just primer so far and camera phone quality because my real camera is fragged ATM. And the primer is actually a lot more blue than that. I'll have real pictures of the finished product

Looking good so far...what do you plan on doing to finish them and what about the case?

[SKDgarbage]

I won't have the funds to work on my case for quite awhile so it's on hold. The keyboard and mouse should be done tomorrow. I haven't had a lot of time to work on it because I've been moving furniture around (picked up a new couch for 20 bucks SCORE!) This is my first attempt at airbrushing so needless to say I had a few bad spots to redo. But again, they should be done tomorrow ;]

only one shot of the keyboard. The other shot turned out blurry.

I should have it back together sometime tomorrow night. I'll try to find a real camera to take the finished pictures with

Finally all dry and put back together.

looks freeking sweet, keyboards and mice are my thing, i have done quite a few for mates at work that have seen my microsoft one, which needs a make over but i cba

[FuzzyPlushroom]

That's a damn good job, particularly on the keyboard. Love the color too. +rep

[SXRguyinMA]

looks nice

[SKDgarbage]

Thanks for the kind words I still need better quality pictures. I'll be doing the case sooner than I thought, I want to upgrade some parts and they're cheaper than I thought and I'm going to need to get a bigger case for the new parts. Anyone mind giving some ideas? I'm still new to this stuff Maybe a "quad" theme (upgrading to quad core, quad SLi, and 4 gigs of ram) hmm... That may be stupid actually. Well a black & blue theme at least.

Great job! IMO, you can't go wrong with blue. +rep
