Project : C-MACC'S 2 - (update - Subzero Cooling Phase change -50 c)
mayhem:
This is a very fast dirty test to check out lighting on the alien designs. Just to see what it would look like. I can see the 3mm led's really are not enough to light up a full panel so ill have to try out some 5mm led's next to see what effect they will have.
The 3mm btw have been drilled into the plastic but like all things that come from Hong Kong only 1/2 of them work lol ....

I've picked up a lot of leds from Hong Kong and they usually work out pretty well, although I've a couple that blow out as soon as I've powered them up.
I really like where you're going with the etched cp. :applaud:

It might be my suppler being so totally Wrapp (replace the w with a c) lol ......
Im going to order some strip lighting (blue) for it. There is 30 Bright Led's on a strip that is bendable so it will show up the effect better. I've just trashed every thing else for now and im awaiting my dammed printer ink (god some suppliers of stuff are just lazy) so i can do some more designs and see how they look.
I might do what i did with my old xbox and give the CP a little more umph to it.
to show what i mean here is a old vid of my old xbox ...

I might do this around the CP. Its been a while since i did it but im sure i can do it again.

Must admit its not easy this time I'm trying to learn to feather touch and see how it comes out. When doing it lightly you hardly see the work your doing (or it could be because i have bad light) any way i tried doing this with the lowest dremmel points ...
After a second look i then re did the head with a larger point to make it stick out more. I think its a fine line between what looks good and what doesn't lol ...

Then added a CCFL tube just to test it out for idea's ... Its so dammed hard taking good photos of this stuff lol ...

Working on cab etchings now as i type this (just having a rest)
These are quite close up as the image is only approx 2" in hight and about 3.5" in width. So it looks a little wobbly but then again i haven't cleaned it up yet neither.
Oky first alien finished on the CP ...
Need to do more work but you'll get the jist of what im up to ...
