Hello, I'm Andrés from Argentina.

I am here to show you my last project :wave:

[center]Image[/center]


I'm making this mod as a tribute to those welshmen who came to Argentina in 1865, being pioneers in the colonization of the south of the country.

"Y ddraig goch" means "The red dragon" and it's the symbol that appears on the welsh flag and on the Madryn Pt. City here in Argentina.

Image

Image

The mod itself is based on a Codegen 604 Case (I never liked that LCD...) and it's front and superior parts were removed to give place to the new ones

[center]Image[/center]

The Case structure with two layers of Sandable Primer:

Image

Image

Image


The same with two layers of gloss white:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

I still have to give it a general sanding, and another white layer befor proceeding with the custom acrylic front :)

Greetings!

This is the dragon as it came out from the dremel :P

First of all, thanks for the "Remarcable mod" status, it makes me proud :D

now..
Update! After my vacations and on the count down for the modding tournament in a LanParty here in Argentina

The front, chanfer and top of the case have been made out of 3mm crystal acrilyc.
I've made holes according to those on the case, inox screws :D

I'm sorry for the picture quality, there's no good light in my home at night XD
