Very sorry, will have to update text and descriptions later on !

I have started to add colour to the panel, your really going to have to stick with me on this one as it looks bad before it gets better.


now there would have been 5 or 6 pictures here, but as i type, i am starting at the memory card that was meant to be in my camera... still stuck in the card reader. So there i was taking pictures that were not saved anywhere.

So i only have one picture.

again theres a ton of very fine paint in the air so the pics look bad, but you get the idea

more blue needs to be added to the girl, and the gloves need to be toned down a bit. apart from that, clear coat will tie everything in and melt some of the overspray into a smooth gradient of light

thats it for now guys !



.....


On looking at that picture again I know what your thinking... but you're gonna really have to trust me on this one. Its gonna look wicked when its done :)

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally I was thinking it looks like the work of an amazingly talented artist who amazes me more and more with each update. ;) Can't wait till its done!! :D

OMG!!! Just when I thought it couldn't get any better...

BTW RB, happy belated b-day....been a crazy week for me and was w/o internet for a day or two (long story)

Love the progression, looks great so far. Keep up the great work!

Nuff Said :D

Amazing work as always mate, oh and got to hate when you shoot some pictures only to find out you didn't... happened to me on a trip to Egypt, still with film and not digital camera.... Someone opened the lid on the camera as the film supposedly was already inside the cartridge... only it wasn't. :p:

Keep up the excellent work mate.

Behave!

I may have missed this somewhere in this thread, but do you do airbrushing for a living or this this purely a hobby for you? Either way, you are very talented.

Your patience and your determination to see such a labour-intensive project through to the end are commendable! I think just about everyone here would have no hope of ever modding a case like this to same high standard that you achieve with your airbrushed mods.

Again, well done.:up:

Hi,
I don't do it for a living (yet) as i have a full time day job... Now the problem is - i have a pretty unique day job, It's almost as unique as being an airbrush artist for a living so i cant simply quit my day job to do this. I cant really go into much detail about my day job but its great :)

So for now I just do the painting in my spare time - of which i have very little! ( which is why this is taking so long ) This means i paint in the hours around 7pm-11pm every night I can... but most nights are already taken - family girlfriend, crysis ;) heh heh.

I suppose one day I will try to make a living out of it. But for now I am just workign on pre-painted cases to sell. - no deadlines!

My money is that he either works for the government (CIA?), or he's a male prostitute...

Absolutely god-like work with that air brushing. It's simply stunning. Almost a shame that the inside work is going to be mostly covered by computer stuff.

By the way, how resistant is the paint (especially around where the mobo goes) to scratching and what-not?

To use my Chuck Norris Cliche . . . . .

When clearcoated with the 2 pack clear coat, its as hard as chuck norris :P

I't wont be IMPOSSIBE to scratch, just like a car, it will scratch if you give it enough force, but my plan to save the insides from damage, is to simply loosen the pannels when instaling the drives and it will be fine.

I will also drop a clear plastic washer onto every screw hole when the clear coat is done so it will rest ontop of the clear, kinda sink in a bit and protect the paint.

congrats on very nice case.....

can i send you mine? :)

looking good

of course



update:
With the project drawing to an end, I decided to leave my mark so that who ever ends up owning this case can have a permanent reminder of how much fun I've had doing it. Its time to sign the insides.

I wanted something big, and bold that wouldn't be seen once the PC is built inside, so the mainbaord tray is where i chose.

This design was made in corel, by writing 'r b customs' with a marker the size of Gibraltar, then scanning it into corel and making the vectorised version of it.
