I got around the making the second front Storm Vent today, i'm very pleased with the look of them as a pair!
The second one was made as the first was.
as you can see in the above pic..the sight of the original plex front panel now looks way out of place! to fix this and add a contrast to the machined plex surrounds a Smoked or tinted plex background is cut and added.
Next will be to make surrounds for the CDROM and Matrix orbital display.
these be be a rectangle shape.
Centers are marked and cut out again in a frame'd shape.
Next! was the BIG one! beveling a 45 degree angle on the main fron frame.
This was a steady and slow effort...one slip here .......
Next is to take the frame over for some drilling and counter sinking for the hex heads.
The inner shadow panel is layed in
Storm rings added
Top frames
The idea will be that with the tinted back panel only the Storm rings outer main plex frame and smaller inner frames will light up!
should look very interesting!
