Ta-da! It's done. Well...almost.

I painted the little doors that swing out so you can remove the drive bays.

I was thinking about painting the little buttons and brackets that hold the drives in place. Either red with black buttons or black with red buttons. Which do you think will look better? I can't decide.

You can get some transparent stickers for Bulletholes... and I also dig the idea with the Model Size MGs.

Right now it's cool, but it's not really taking up the idea fully, more like a bright red case with some deco.

Ya well, there's a difference between being inspired by something and being too cheesy or guady. I never said this was the mod to end all mods, I just wanted to do something fun.

I'll post a final round of pics this weekend. Been busy with work.

Nice work with that case Jason. I see you've gone with air cooling so if I might offer up one suggestion it would be cable management. I haven't worked with that case but it looks to have some cable holes in it. Any way to reroute some of them cables into the back plate? It would help with your air flow.

Anyway, like I said before, nice job! smile

Hey Jason. Nice job! I love seeing folks tinker around with their stuff like that and seeing what they can come up with. Definitely one-of-a-kind. I think a United States Air Force themed case painting would be cool too especially based upon the old roundel design.

Wow, absolutely amazing paint job... so beautiful and neat! Excellent job, Jason von Williams! smile So, did you have this rig of yours on display at E3 running Rof:ICE?? I caught a SimHQ video of you there... looking great, but didn't fancy that "music" that was playing from somewhere in the background, heh. If I was there I would've had Jerry Goldsmith's wonderful Blue Max score playing from YOUR speakers to drown that racket out! biggrin

Best Wishes, Sir! Now you have me practically drooling like crazy to finally get my hands on Rof:ICE (when it's released in the UK haha)! cheers

Ziggy,

If you buy ROF right now from our website and then buy the extra planes from our store while they are on sale for $2.99 you will essentially have ICE today. You may want to consider that route. The UK release is a little ways away.
