[LL V1000] Crystal Clear

[Laine]

that looks great laine I would say make the thin metal in between the two colors a bit thicker though, you want to keep width to about twice the thickness of the material for a line that spans a distance that large (not huge but you don't want it to bend easily)

In the render the cutting is 1mm thick, in real life it will be as thick as the faceplate, 2mm.
I did this because the design was barely visible with 2mm depth.

I could try to increase the width though, still it's only 50mm of hight at the most.

Yeh unless you're getting it water jet cut, you are better off making that line a bit thicker.

It's actually going to be water jet'd, funny you should ask.

I just did a google picture search for 'crystal clear' and the first 10 pages showed nothing but tropical waters in aquamarine colors.

Maybe the diamond image would be better, but I think it would be hard to incorporate something that implied tropical water' to the viewer. I'm guessing that as long as you went with some blue colors behind the face plate that the image doesn't really matter as long as the colors were there.

Yeah I'm not shure about the design, it doesn't speak to me either.
An iceberg was the most crystal clear motive I could get my hands on though.


Small update of the actual build, got the first package today, took me a good 5 minutes to get it out of the mailbox, the mailman must have bent the laws of physics.

Now for the classic XS-shots:



There are some more bits and pieces but nothing worth to mention.
