Newest Project

Fordman4ever · 11-26-2011, 07:35 PM

I finally finished my latest project. Been doing it over a couple weeks as I get more cigar bands. Now all I have to do is find a sealer to cover it with.

that's very cool the first pic I was staring at it trying to figure out if it was a ashtray or not lol

Original concept. I haven't seen that yet. Very creative, thanks for sharing. I would love to see you working in Starbucks on your laptop. Conversation piece for sure.

its going to be my desert laptop so it should be a big hit for sure.

Try looking into casting resin for a finish. Nice work, btw

or Decopauge.

Clearcoat (from a can or spraycan) can/will ruin some of the white bands.
I did a project a while back and used spray clearcoat, and the white Illusione bands almost went to clear.

Oh yah, I saw that from my phone. It looks cool, very original concept!
I have seen those laptops with interchangeable face plates, that would be cool to make those and sell them to the small crowd that the covers would fit.

Sorry I am ignorant today, I see now I already commented on the idea earlier in the thread too. Sorry.

Against the black legs that seat really pops!
