Project: Lanmunition
Ghetto Edition
YouTube- Project Lanmunition- Early Stages
Hey guys i've been holding this off for a little while to get a few updates under my belt
This is my casemod worklog for Project Lanmunition loosely inspired by other projects this is an ever evolving project that will only get better this is what i've called my "Ghetto edition" what this means is 95% of the materials used in this project will be stuff i have the only money i will spend is £8.50 on the case and possibly money on spray paint.
A few disclaimers before is start
-Im a very poor photographer many of the pictures where taken quickly and a few will be out of focus i apologize in advance but i try my best
-Some of the project you will find similiar to other ammo case pc builds but its very difficult to get past some similiaritys im trying to make it as unique as i can
-It is a joint project my dad is helping because he is the one with all the tools :biggrin_mini:
Update 1
So one day i was walking into my local town when i saw a army surplus store and thought "I wonder what they have in there!?" after looking around i saw something very cool a 25mm hard plastic ammo case it seemed perfect for a themed mod project the best part of it was it was only £8.50
Heres the victim 25mm hard plastic ammunition case
After some boring lessons at college i decided to scribble down some concepts for the design sadly my scanner sucks so i had to take a picture of them but you get the idea
Runing across the case i noticed alot of damage, rust, dirt and grime almost like it had been through a war (wait a second...) anyway this was the first port of call before anything! i new the rusty latches where first the paint was flaking of in large pieces revealing thick rust even underneith the paint :scratch_one-s_head:
its was really bad i started to wonder if i could be salvaged but i could'nt give up it was time to get out the wire brush after a little scrubbing large amounts of it was coming of but still some was being a pain and not wanting to leave my plan was to get down to bare metal this seemed a little hard when i first saw that latches time for some paint stripper!
this was like one hundred times better than what they where like at the start but still in a big mess!
after some more wire brushing it was time to bring out the big guns the angle grinder and sander :diablo_mini:
after a little work it was finally looking good there was still light orange rust underneith in the next pictures but eventually that was gone :i_am_so_happy:
Thats all for now folks ALOT! more to come
NOTE: the arms in the picture are my dads btw just so you know we're doing this project together
