[projekt] °°° Spirale °°°

[Alonso_Bistro]

Hi modders!

Back with a little project made from wood for the first time.

First of all I want to thanks my sponsor:




I started with a wine box (nothing strange, I'm french...)

For the socle I'll use this thing coming from an old Compaq server

Plexi cut and bend to fit in the socle.

Replacement of the wooden door by a plexi one

First layer of black paint to have an idea of how it will look.
The U joint along the white plexi come from www.pc-look.com

First thing I thought when I saw that logo: "The Dreamcast lives again?"

Awesome work man, two big thumbs up!

 

[Alonso_Bistro]

pfiouuuuu, I was affraid that at least 1 person appreciate the mod

THANKS!

 

[SpeedyVV]

Wow. Really liked you choice of materials. Very organic fell even with all the plastic.

Loving it.

 

[cnealjr]

Looking very nice! Maybe a mod will move this to the worklogs section and you'll get more hits on it.

 

[sfsilicon]

Looks great. Nice build. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Alonso_Bistro]

thanks to you for your cool comments and sorry for the lack of comments on my pics but despite years of posting my mods on english language forum my english is still so so... sometimes it's better to say nothing than to say bullshit

Well, i'll try a little... the top and back are covered by an agenda leather cover, The pics don't give justice to the real color witch is more darker and the red is really red (not red oranged like on the pics).


ps: I have a new irish neighbor, and my future posts will be better commented.
(i hope, because after some beers nobody understand nobody

thanks again

Ok, to be completly honnest, the spiral doesn't come from tourmanted mind, and doesn't come from the logo of an old game console but.... from a very old T-shirt I have for years.


We start with the side door, It's really intresting to think that any rectangle 27cm x 32cm x max 5mm can be use as a door. I'll check my local plexi dealer to see what they have...
I've decided to cover the door with the same agenda cover, this one is without the "orange peel skin".

For the top cut on a black shinny plexi and cut on the box for the USB.

This peace of plexi will be inserted between the 2 USB and will be enlightened by a LED.





For the power system I've found this part in my mess.

For the top, an old crocodile skin will be used.

The croco's skin is glued to the back covers.

For delimiting the skin.

these parts will be black painted.




cover of the front top and USB wiring.

THE FRONT:

 

[mrmylanman]

That case is pretty wild. Definitely unique, I like it.

 

[scooby609]
