Afterburner

If the was an UBER omg you would get it. Outstanding airbrush and well thought out. Bravo!

+1 and like many other stated...attention to details is incredible, specially the bullet holes  Now if i can find that tool and put some holes into my case for a 140mm fan
Great work!

Painting the machined aluminum bullet thumbscrews to look more authentic.





The surface is first prepped, using red scotch brite pad to scuff the bare aluminum


Is that a "cribbage board" for thumbscrews?, drilling holes in a piece of wood, works great for holding thumbscrews for paint. The threads were taped off.


For maximum paint adhesion, we use SEM brand self etching primer for the base coat


A couple coats of grey self etching primer


for holding the bullet thumbscrews, tape the bullet thumbscrews to paint stick





Paint entire bullet first copper color first, mask off the tip after cured, then paint the shell brass color.



After the paint has cured, I dry brushed the shells with "Antiquing Gel" by Home Decor. "Dry brushing" means you are painting with a brush that is almost 100% dry. It's an easy way to create a weathered effect or highlights. These are machined aluminum bullet thumbscrews



After 2 hours, the "Antiquing Gel" had cured. The final coat is a "Flat" Clear coat aerosol paint by KRYLON

Awesome!  Love the build, airbrush work, and especially the bullet holes in the side panel.  Thanks for sharing your work with us.

Very kool case mod!!! beautiful work!!

Incredible.  I have thought about airbrushing my case, but am cautious to do so...
But seeing that makes me want to even more.
Very nice.

Looks awesome. Great attention to detail, especially on the bullet thumb screws.

Thank you! More detailing ahead..



I'm adding lil weathering beneath rack handles



rack handles for bezel, give it more "field equipment" look



I torn-up scotch-brite pads are great for adding blotchy or speckled paint effect..



After I airbrushed over the Orange paint areas.... I also shaded over the "BF3" text...



Ok, now it's Break time, Who is open at 11pm? hmm White Castle SLIDERS! :D

We need more Billet Bullet Thumbscrews! these will be lodged in the window holes...
