What happens when modders are injured and bored...

[Tech-Daddy]

You guys know I've been recovering from ankle surgery for the past few weeks. Well, I got into a hard cast a week ago.

Here are the stage pics:

Right after surgery (for 2 weeks) I had to wear this soft splint:

Then they cut it off, and I got to see a bit of their work. No bruising, and the incisions look great!

Then, they planned on a new cast... and I wanted to have a good, easy pallet to work from! So I chose black:

Well, tonight, while I was out getting used to my airbrush equipment, and getting mixtures down, I went to town on my cast! I still have several more effects to add in, but... you see where I am going...

I have some green accents to add in, and then I have to get the Dallas Stars logo on the top of the shin, but I believe I have an easy way to do that... maybe...

Just thought I'd share this with my fellow nutcases!


Laters!

Nice mod.
Add some LEDs and a window
Are you going to overclock it?
Just don't water cool it.

You guys are funny!
The reason for the surgery was that I had a really bad ankle sprain in Jr. High school, then I had 7 more (as bad or worse) over the time span from Jr High to this last Fathers Day. After this last one, I just found me a Dr and asked for an evaluation. My ankle was found to be very, slack.

So we cleaned out the scar tissue and bone spurs from within the ankle, found a piece of cartildge that was trying to attach to a tendon and cleand that out, then took the slack out of my outter ligaments and repaired/rebuilt the outter structural integrity of my ankle.

(I asked for a wave file of the bionic man "ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni....", but I dont think they did it! )
