Welcome to my next project

"ROG Carbine"


k-aaron-deleon-verc-v2-01-standing.jpg




The carbine is based on the "verc carbine" concept of Aaron de Leon,
a 3D designer (hard surface modeling) already involved in the development of several games such as Star Citizen and Section 8.
When I saw this concept, I realized immediately that I must build it.
I immediately recognized a Pc in the carabiner, so followed also various drawings until I realized where the whole leads.
Many pictures do not exist of this concept but since I adjust the model to a PC I had to ample improvise anyway
.
The goal is to combine the model with modern hardware without changing the appearance.

As some may already know I have the same at the German Casemodding championship
the first place occupies even though the work is not even completely completed.
So here is the pre-release.
I think it will still be exciting and I hope you like the worklog.

That case mod is amazing. I don't think it can be called any less.
 
So here is the first update:
I have tried to document all the work but when looking at the photos I see many details that were not properly photographed.but I hope the photos speak for themselves.
At the moment I have 260 pictures ;) :p

First a board cut in the shape of the weapon
k-_MG_3092.jpg


then the essay above and below the middle barrel
k-_MG_3093.jpg



k-_MG_3094.jpg


now two ridges around the barrel to its extent to broaden.
The groove is sawn with the circular saw to install all cables of the LEDs later
k-_MG_3096.jpg


now the first details
k-_MG_3098.jpg


and then two strips for the sides of the barrel
k-_MG_3099.jpg



k-_MG_3100.jpg



k-_MG_3113.jpg


Now I broadened the upper and lower barrel by another 5mm. The upper barrel I saw but later completely and build it from Plexiglas
k-_MG_3103.jpg


Now the first essays for the estuary. A groove is set with the top cutter
k-_MG_3104.jpg


and then sawn in the correct length
k-_MG_3105.jpg


and sandet in shape
k-_MG_3110.jpg


Now two MDF boards glued together
k-_MG_3112.jpg


and with the grooving cutter the width of the lower barrel milled out. Then cut into shape and ground.
k-_MG_3114.jpg


Now the next parts for this area
k-_MG_3115.jpg



k-_MG_3116.jpg



k-_MG_3117.jpg



k-_MG_3119.jpg


Now the first aluminum parts
k-_MG_3121.jpg


Here the handle on the lower barrel is now provided with long holes and then bent
k-_MG_3123.jpg



k-_MG_3124.jpg


And here are the covers of the essays from the barrel
k-_MG_3125.jpg



k-_MG_3126.jpg


This was already the first update, in the next I start with the upper barral and thus the first Plexiglas work :)
 
Time for the next update.
This time it went to the upper barrel, a lot of Plexiglas was cut, bent and glued with Acrifix.

If ask is please just ask;)
Next time it goes with the AGB holders and it goes to the glass parts in the course which are later illuminated.​
 
This time a bit later but a slightly bigger update.

I spare you this time with my technical English, it probably does not make any sense anyway

Hi,
it's time again, my weekly update.

At some point it had to be done, the water cooler on the VGA mount

k-_MG_3281.jpg


then I needed a bracket for the magazine, 4 x 22mm MDF cubes

k-_MG_3285.jpg


k-_MG_3286.jpg


k-_MG_3288.jpg


the mount for the riser cable

k-_MG_3290.jpg


k-_MG_3291.jpg


k-_MG_3292.jpg


Monitors can also be connected via an angled HDMI adapter

k-_MG_3293.jpg



k-_MG_3312.jpg


k-_MG_3313.jpg


now the top Cover
5mm Plexi cut and bend

k-_MG_3282.jpg

k-_MG_3295.jpg


CPU - side

k-_MG_3296.jpg


VGA - side

k-_MG_3297.jpg


k-_MG_3298.jpg



k-_MG_3299.jpg


k-_MG_3300.jpg



k-_MG_3301.jpg



k-_MG_3302.jpg



k-_MG_3305.jpg


k-_MG_3306.jpg


k-_MG_3307.jpg



k-_MG_3310.jpg


Pity with the 25 picture limit in some forums but they were already again.
Then, I hope it was something teaching or not, next time it goes to the construction for the handle and the power supply.​
 

Hi,

now the handle.
For this I chose Multiplex,

k-_MG_3316.jpg


k-_MG_3317.jpg


a groove for the cable from the trigger

k-_MG_3318.jpg


k-_MG_3319.jpg


k-_MG_3320.jpg


:mrgreen:

k-_MG_3321.jpg


k-_MG_3323.jpg


k-_MG_3324.jpg


now I have made the grip by deep drawing.

k-_MG_3325.jpg


k-_MG_3326.jpg


k-_MG_3327.jpg


the trigger

k-_MG_3328.jpg


k-_MG_3329.jpg


k-_MG_3330.jpg


k-_MG_3331.jpg


left side the final shape from the trigger

k-_MG_3332.jpg


k-_MG_3333.jpg


k-_MG_3334.jpg


k-_MG_3335.jpg


more 3mm and 5mm MDF

k-_MG_3336.jpg


k-_MG_3338.jpg


k-_MG_3337.jpg


k-_MG_3342.jpg


k-_MG_3345.jpg


k-_MG_3346.jpg



The final shape looks good but there is still a lot of details.
More in the next update

regards Capten​
 
Heyho !


now i Need extern usb ports


k-_MG_3314.jpg


for the cable

k-_MG_3315.jpg


these alu parts have made me really ready

k-_MG_3339.jpg


k-_MG_3341.jpg


bevor the paint job i set all holes for the tubes

k-_MG_3347.jpg


Loop complete,
how you can see, you see nothing XD

k-_MG_3348.jpg


holder for the res

k-_MG_3350.jpg


Here the panel in front of the handle, so you can not look behind the motherboard or the VGA.
Left a copy of the Northbridge cooler, for more symmetry in the rear area.

k-_MG_3351.jpg


the psu area

k-_MG_3355.jpg


more mdf covers

k-_MG_3356.jpg


the holes for the eps cable

k-_MG_3357.jpg


two old cabinet handles are exactly fitting

k-_MG_3358.jpg


these contours I created with key files

k-_MG_3359.jpg


The cable protection hoses are fixed everywhere with single-ear clamps and some aluminum has been adapted as veneer.

k-_MG_3360.jpg


for the other side two 8mm MDF stripes

k-_MG_3361.jpg


Power for the psu

k-_MG_3362.jpg


only now have I glued the handle to the gun

k-_MG_3363.jpg


an 8mm dowel for the good conscience

k-_MG_3364.jpg


How do you get a bent wire straight again?

k-_MG_3377.jpg


1. Cut the required length

k-_MG_3378.jpg


2.Fold the ends to better grasp them

k-_MG_3379.jpg


3. Screw the other end into a vice.
Rule of thumb: turn the wire around its own axis per meter 6-8 times.

k-_MG_3381.jpg


k-_MG_3382.jpg


k-_MG_3384.jpg


Next comes the paint and the electrics

Thank you for reading or viewing pictures.
Until next time!

Hi,

sorry for being to late but I was a little bit sick.

As promised the paint Job.
To get rid of the wood grain I painted it twice with this one.
Call it Plastic seal but it's like clear coat.

k-_MG_3367.jpg

k-_MG_3368.jpg

k-_MG_3370.jpg


k-_MG_3371.jpg


k-_MG_3374.jpg


I have coated these parts with textured paint

k-_MG_3375.jpg


k-_MG_3376.jpg


Now all individually painted parts were joined together with chassis glue (Sikaflex)

k-_MG_3385.jpg


the electrical part

k-_MG_3386.jpg


k-_MG_3388.jpg


3mm LED White konkav

k-_MG_3389.jpg

small details I pushed out

k-_MG_3400.jpg


k-_MG_3401.jpg


two inlays of satined Plexiglas, for Standby and HDD Led

k-_MG_3403.jpg


All openings I have deposited with foam rubber

k-_MG_3412.jpg


k-_MG_3414.jpg

k-_MG_3416.jpg

k-_MG_3417.jpg


then the PW SW buttons and the standby and HDD LEDs

k-_MG_3418.jpg


and here the position of the buttons

k-_MG_3422.jpg


thats the status before the DCMM,after that I changed some little things.
But the last ones work next time.

 
Hello,
Now the last update


We remember, the stat at Gamescom


k-_MG_0778.jpg


k-_MG_0783.jpg



but there were still little things in which I just did not know how to implement them

1.right, the ornaments behind the mouth
2.middle, the yellow clips on the barrel and
3.left, the clips on the reservoir

k-_MG_0791.jpg



first 2.
i cut out yellow acrylic but after remove the foil it looks like a Little bit green

k-_MG_3404.jpg


so i must paint it in sulfur yellow

k-_MG_3407.jpg


I've cut narrow strips off an aluminum U-profile

k-_MG_3423.jpg


k-_MG_3425.jpg


I made a few more and took the most beautiful ones

k-_MG_3426.jpg


that looks good

k-_MG_3427.jpg


now 3.
the Clips from res. I test a liitle bit with wood but in aluminum it Looks better.

k-_MG_3428.jpg


k-_MG_3429.jpg


:-P

k-_MG_3429a.jpg


k-_MG_3429b.jpg



Now I have glued the clips with silicones on the barrel


k-_MG_3430.jpg


k-_MG_3432.jpg


than 1.

k-_MG_3434.jpg


k-_MG_3435.jpg


as you can see on the last picture,the textured paint has no good Quality.
I must paint it again

k-_MG_3436.jpg


so now the last, left the silver door handles on the Vision Display had to be made of 1mm Alu
and on the right the frame of the handle I have painted in silver

k-IMG_1114a.jpg



So that's it, I can carve a notch more on the door frame again: mrgreen:
For the sake of clarity, all final images then in a separate post,
probably also this week.

Thank you for looking!
Greetings CapTen​
