Okay, here we go

Rust application applied to first parts of the case! I firstly scuffed everything with red scotch brite from MNPCTECH and on all plastic parts a clear plastic primer was applied.

I applied a much thicker coat than before and even let it run in some parts to get a better effect





















Thanks for checking it out, stay tuned for the results

Cheers,

Alex

Oooh its going to look really good!

Good thing the case is plastic for the most part. I imagine that paint would actually rust a metal case!

Thanks a lot!

I'll be rusting the entire case, even the inner frame around the inside, everywhere. I assume the powder coating would keep it from actually rusting and I will also clear coat in the end so should be all good

Hi guys,

Here are the results! Overall really happy with the way it's turning out.

I added some more patches of the rust paint in some areas I felt it didn't cover the panels too well.















Here I started to add more rust paint.















Let me know what you guys think of the results.

Thanks for checking it out!

Cheers,

Alex

I don't know if I should be angry for letting someone let a nice case rust like that or in awe because that paint looks so authentic!
It looks great Alex, I looks forward to seeing the whole rig come together, that rust really looks good, like it has been left outside for years. It will definitely complete the whole theme!!

Hahaha thanks mate! I'm really loving it too. When I first started cutting into this case, on the front panel, I felt the same. Was thinking hope I don't completely mess up this case haha! However seeing it come together now, I have a really good feeling for the entire build

Hi guys,

Before I do any more rusting effects on the rest of the case I needed to do some pass-through holes for fittings as well as add some acrylic cover panels.

What I'm doing with the pass-through fittings going over the top of the case is trying to mimic the back of the Dead Space character with the tube and making this part of the loop.









































I'm also tapping some holes on the back panel as this will mimic one of the arms of the character. You can see what I mean from the banner image.



Just to screw down acrylic panels that I will add.



I've also added some effect to the acrylic panels just with the Dremel disk











I'll be rusting everything now.

Stay tuned for more!

Cheers,

Alex

Rough looking! I like it

Interested to see how the character effects turn out on the case. it'll be a nice touch when it's done!

While the rest of the case is being rusted. The Bitspower watercooling hardware has arrived

This is together with hardware for my AZUL Bitfenix Aegis build as well

 

[Silver_Pharaoh]

That's what, only a couple hundred worth of fittings rads and blocks?

 

[Dlaw]

That's what, only a couple hundred worth of fittings rads and blocks?

I think that's closer to a couple hundred in just fittings.

There are quite a lot of fittings in there Also that is the entire gear for two builds

 

[Blaylock]

I thought those boxes looked familiar.

Hi guys,

Here are most of the panels from the case rusted, clear coated and I also added some effects with some white paint smudges that I think turned out pretty nice and bringing the whole theme together for this build!

As you can see, compared to previous updates, it seems like the clear coat really darkened up the rust look however I think it looks even better this way and more in line with the Dead Space theme.

I'll be putting it all together very shortly but I wanted to give you guys a close up on all the parts!



























































Let me know what you guys think and stay tuned for more!

Cheers,

Alex
