Got the lid to fit pretty nicely. Just a bit of sanding and filling to do. It's amazing how fast things get turned into coffee tables at my place

That's great! It's cool how recognisable the surface geometry is.

Thanks MG I'll try and get some paint on it before the SWNZ get together. It's not strong enough to sit on yet but I might reinforce it a bitMattG wrote:That's great! It's cool how recognisable the surface geometry is.

Re: Side project: Box!
ok so now I'm obsessing about paint for this
I'm thinking it's not a painted metal box (so metal effects/ weathering don't apply) but rather some kind of 'space plastic'. Like heavy duty durable polycarbonate or something. So I'm thinking it will be a base colour with accumulated grime/ dings and scraps. Should be a lot of fun to do!

Re: Side project: Box!
ok box has been bogged and sanded more or less. I've primed it and bought a cheap dark blue spray can. This is about as much use as my long board sees these days!
Next step will be weathering. I'm not going to go too crazy with this just a light weather and I'll muck about with some spray cans make it look like it was dropped in something yucky

This could be a good limited edition helmet storage container
Doomsday and Armageddon got together and had a baby and man is it ugly.
