mesh window?

[richman]

Me & a Me are starting a summer project both learning of eachothers knowledge i had a idea this morning but iam not too sure how to carry it out.

The Case: Cheiftec Dragon.

Iam going to mount a aqua tube in the top two bays behind the door of the cheiftek now what i want to do is create a mesh window so that the AT can be slightly seen through it, but also i want to try and make the mesh look like it was always their like what pug has done with Hex.

I dont want to cut away the entire inner section of the top of the door just a little bit maybe in a cool shape or something then mesh it.

Could someone tell me what i need to do.

Don't be afraid to experiment on something else first. We learn by making mistakes too ;)

You don't make mistakes, not possible, refuse to believe!!!

Craig Fraser once said he stumbled upon his style of "slash" line striping by covering a mistake he made doing a traditional stripe job. He pioneered that style by ****ing up. That style is now widely used throughout the world.

You can see our RexsMods emulating this style here flame painting thread (http://www.wizdforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=163&page=3&pp=10)

The most talented Modders know how to cover up their mistakes.

"I meant to do that" ;)

Hiya all thanks for all the replies.

I would just like to know where is the best place to get filler or whatever i need to make the mesh on the front of the case look like it belongs their. Maybe pug can help me with this when he turns up B)

Pug used (IIRC) some fibre glass filler, because he needed some decent strength to the join. It's not nice stuff to use though so be careful. I'm trying to find the product Pug actually used...


Think it was Isopron or summit - anyway, it's a pre-mixed resin/fibreglass compound thats used for bodywork repairs etc.

Alternatively there's some similiar stuff here (http://www.bosunsmate.co.uk/fibreglass_materials.htm)

What about filler for general jobs like filling in old power button holes ect?

A mistake is the discovery of a new style ;)
