hit that with a glossy black paint and run some red or even blue/uv lights would make this look very clean!  is the spider climbing down? or is the logo upside down lol

the logo is upside down. when its done the body of the spider should be over the heat sink and will be made of black grating material.

just watch out for the Os and 0s in the xbox360 logo, they like to separate from the case when filing and sanding...

I decided to try something different. I am using casting resin to fill the cutout.

did u just wrap foil around the case?  did any resin seep under the case? did you get any air bubbles when curing? i always wanted to try using resin instead of plexiglass.  your resin surface might have some ridged edges as the foil underneath is not completely smooth and flat.  i cant wait to see the results!

is the rippling in the resin on the front where the packing tape is or is it on the back side and just the resin moving a bit because it's not yet dry?

Looks real good so far, can't wait to see it full done and back together. I was also wondering where you can get resin? I've never actually thought of filling in my cuts rather than just using plexi glass. Great idea.

I think it shrinks a little as it sets which is why it rippled. maybe if i had put mold release on just the tape it would prevent that.  :dntknw:

Might of worked better if you had a hard surface where you had the tape, and with mold release not sure that would work either, sometimes mold releases can cause more problems then you think, chemical reactions, to the product or mold release build up and could cause percity which means air bubbles in it .I really think it looks good the way it came out gives it charactor to the spider . would of looked good either way whether it was solid red or the way it is now

Great job!!! keep up the good work.

I masked off the spider and painted it all black then did the web mask.



then painted the red with a mist of black.



the finished panel.



I am very happy with the way it came together. but please don't hesitate to critique it.

How easy do you think it would be to use the casting resin on a curved surface like a controller shell? ... thats what i have been thinking for the past few days.

Will the casting resin always warp when you apply it on an xbox case or did you just not have it in the right conditions when it was drying?

using it on a curved surface would be hard because it is very thin at first.

the warped look is from the packaging tape i used to mask it. it started off flat but i think the resin shrinks as it hardens.

So if you used a different type of tape would it still warp since it shrinks or what?
