Starting new project on the 'Antec 900', old one is scrapped, starting from scratch. Been busy this weekend prepping a few panels for sprayin, and 'streamlinning'! :wink: the case, more room for airbrushing
Anywayz heres the pics so far, few more to follow later enjoy

Converted the shed where i do my airbrushing, spraying,modz etc;

The airbrushes/sprayguns i use, iwata/sata only the best will do
[/url]

After laying down the primer panels looked pretty bad, scratches and dents all over them, being my old case been thrown around abit :P , out comes the body filler:
[/url]
[/url]

I wanted a flat surface ontop, so i removed the plastic vent thing, that holds dat massive fan (gona use it on my other case, somhow!) of the top, and glued some metal from an old case underneath the fill the gaps:

Time for the bodyfiller, sandin this stuff is a big pain dust everywhere, shed is gona need a good clean before spraying:
[/url]
[/url]

I reccomend you get one of these mouse sanders, make the job alot quicker and easier:
[/url]

10mins later ive sanded it down and its pretty level few little holes, final coat of putty, smother finish than body filler:

[dean0]

Top panel came out good, another coat of primer/sand, and dats ready for airbrushin

This stuff is called intercoat clear, use it as protective layer to stop primer lifting

Had a few hours to spare 2nite, started on one of the panels, heres da pics so far

Trying a new stone effect, and gona spray somthing ontop like a skull, anyone got any ideas?

First of spray some gray lines to create a uneven texture;

Next using a technique called stippling i tink? lots of grey dots! :P
[/url]

Do the same with black, then a little white

I've never seen a stone textured case except maybe the uber modded doom 3 case, should be interesting .

[jimmyz]

to XtremeSystems, awesome work, and a great intro. since this will be an ongoing project can you post some of your other artwork?

[LuckyX2]

I did a stone texture on my 360, and I really like the way it turned out



good luck with your 900!

[Nate P.]

Looks excellent so far!

[Scubar]

Looks promising, might finally see a 900 that looks good.

[Junimrox]

I don't like stone paintings, because most of them turn to be very ugly and don't look like stone, but let's see this one, i think it might come out really good.

[dean0]

Cheers for comments, finished the other panel, just needs clearoat.
Couple of pics, was thinking bout adding graphic popping out of the stone saying 'Antec 900', and maybe skull/gargoyle any other ideas?

Its not a matter of asking us for ideas, it is your piece, you present to us what ever your ability allows you to do, or you want to do.

I love seeing creativity @ its finest.

Painted the case frame basecoat black, you can see in the pics it is matt and requires a clearcoat to protect the paint from chipping and gives it nice deep shinny finish :P Anough talk heres da pics

This is 2k laquer, nasty stuff, use a respirator ibn well ventilated area. I put tissue in the respirator for extra protection, and open both doors in shed.

[/url]

First apply very light tack coat then 2-3 wet coats
[/url]

You can see the fumes in the pic and that with both doors open, iam getting an extractor soon, that should take care of dat
[/url]

Just waitin for tack coat to dry and ill update with pics later
