Dylan started work working on the Blade Runner case fans. The Corsair air240 has space for two small 80mm fans. We noticed a lot of people working with the case don't bother using them. Found a couple of silent fans (as you can be at 80mm) and thought we would use them as a feature.
Just a case of taking the fans apart painting up and masking off. Of course the Tyrell Corp logo had to feature somewhere
Treated ourselves to some model rust effect paints to age them giving that industrial feel. We have been watching a few model tank video's to look at how they do the rust effects this paint set seem to be recommended so really looking forward to doing something new at the same time as Dylan.

Ah great thats reassuring to know, was thinking of using some sand also to give texture to some of the rust.
If you want proper weathering effects, consider Forgeworld weathering pigments too. For me, they are the best I have come across.
It all comes down to how much use you want to get out of these I suppose. If its a one off thing, stick with AK paints.

Awesome stuff mate I had many years with my late father in his garage working on things it's good to see family values these days
Great fun working together, my youngest is wanting in on the action too, fortunately I have a supportive partner that has now given up two rooms, one for gaming and pc's to the boys (me included) and now the garage as a pc workshop

Had some time between pumpkins and kids football this weekend to get some modding done. I set off doing the last of the cables 24 pin.. saving the most tedious for last!
Dylan got to work rusting up the case, he did two shades of rusting to give it a weathered look. Now its dry I think it perhaps needs some chipping and some more shadow with some washed out black.
He loved the rusting up watching him I think you could spend literally hours lost doing that.

You should make the grills look corroded too
Or apply heavy thick rust so some grill holes are almost covered up/closed. Your boy has some serious good skill there.
I use this stuff with pigments for great effects.
That looks good stuff, was going to experiment on a spare bit of chromed plastic to see what sand mixed with some PVA glue would look like with rust paint on top as corrosion.

The 24 pin looks nice not connected it until the liquid is fully done in the loop but looking tidy.

Testing the LCD backplate for the GPU waterblock one last time before she goes in.
Cool little toy, added some risers to keep the screen away from the backplate, there is a fan which will be blowing air in across that gap so should not have any issues with heat affecting the screen.
