Project Marshlands: A Military Themed Build..

ok my understanding is that ATACS is the print not the material. I guess what I'm asking is for a name for the product you used. And if ya have time you should do us up a guide for it, cause from what I see you have it down pretty good. I might just have to get back into some serious projects after my move.

Yes, ATACS is just the patern.. It's called "Hydrodipping" and all you need is the film (of your choice) tap water, masking tape, a large container and a can of aerosol activator..

I learned this, same as cable sleeving... from youtube

Small update..

Today I had time to play with some plexiglas..




Chopped up bits..




Tools used: fretsaw, needle files and the coolest looking duct tape ever.. :lovely:








Some more chopped bits..




With a "sandy" base coat..



Dipped and weathered..








Quickly fitted, just for good measure..

Finally got a bit of an update...

It was about time I got the case filled with something so I started with the rads and tube res.. The tube res is by no means set to go there, just playing around with some ideas at the moment..

Anyway, here we go..













.....and the bigger picture..

Coming together nicely - keep up the good work.

 

[Feronix]

Looking good. I love what you've done with the case

 

[Mgutierrez33]

The color scheme looks to be continuing to work out really well! Looks like everything is going to pretty well fit EXACTLY as it should.

 

[Wraith]

Awesome!!! Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us, this is epic detailing.

 

[keenan]

Thanks guys..

Had a little bit of time today and started on the .... wait, it should be quite noticeable from the rough "blueprint" ..

 

[Innocent159]

nice attention to detail

 

[keenan]

Ok, I left the glue to harden over night and did a quick test fit this morning..

Perfect fit..



Thinking I should widen the the two "damaged" parts on the case opening side to join them together..

 

[Feronix]

Must be the best broken acryllic that I've ever seen
