Hi Guys and Gals,
Update time!
Remember the amber square which I fitted in the centre of the front panel? Well, this seemed rather at odds with the new lower piped part and after seeing what Bill was doing with Project Phenom, I decided to pay a little tribute to the case manufacturer.
A nasty surprise and a third panel later (after figuring that using a jigsaw was too hazardous),
I whipped out the good old rotary tool with much better results
A couple of shots with which you guys will be quite familiar with:
I chose a different weapon to get to the end result:
Same: 800 and 1200 grit sandpaper cut into strips
But this is a bit off the wall:
See, if you used this on a soft cloth, and you rub the particular item at the speed of light, a generous amount of heat is produced which kinda melts the edge to a super shine. A word of warning
You will need to have a high resistance to pain or use a mega thick layer of cloth between your skin and the work item 'cause the heat will get ya...(
a rotary tool with buffing wheel is just too fast- I tried- and I ended up melting the perspex instead of polishing it)
End result?
A fangril test fit...
And a front panel fine-adjustment...
finally allowed me to be brave enough to rip the protective layers off
And voila, the end result:
Due to the stages that VPO is going through, a complete pic will only be revealed when every part has been premade, and when everything is ready for assembly.
Cheers,
Peter.
