I am turning one of our empty bedrooms into a small media room. The room is about 11 feet wide by 15 feet deep and will also house my Star Wars collectibles. It's where I hang out and play XBOX!
Today I painted the cabinet. I went with a Dark Smoke Gray Gloss. It gives just the right amount of seperation from the carbonite. I was going to go a little darker, but the next thing up was black, and I didn't want that. This was the darkest gray I could find.
Next I am going to start brushing details onto the panels.
I started painting the side panels. I used "Steel" and painted the inner panel trim and handles.
I then painted 3 of the sqaures, 1 white and 2 black. I also messed around with some silver and painted the grate on the rght side and a few of the buttons. This is going to take some time because it really has to be done with a brush.
I may throw some other colors in there, not sure at the moment.
Not much time to work on HIC today, gotta start my taxes! I managed to finish trimming the panels in Steel. Hopefully I can finish this in the next week or so! Sorry for the blurry, distorted, poorly lit picture; I was having lighting issues.
Holy Cows that is simply superb!!! Very nice work!!! Mind if I use some of your techniques to finish up my carbonite project thats been sitting in the shed for a couple of years?
All I have at the moment is the frame for the box completed. Not really worth showing. The life cast I did was destroyed hence why I put the project in storage.
I did a little work today on HIC and finished most of the inlay color (black, white, and silver). I also added some color highlights (red, yellow, and green) to the top of each panel. I figure this will give it a little something extra.
I still have to do the rest of the wiring for the LEDs. Almost there.....
