My try on Blue Max

[Lichtbringer]

Here we go again.

First i took the lens out of it´s frame - it´s very thick and rounded on the front, you will soon see why i couldn´t use it as it was.




Made the doubled frontpanel. All is made from 1,5mm ps sheet by drilling, cutting, sanding, .....




Put it on the cube to mark where the cutouts need to be.




After making the cutouts into the cube i glued the frontpanel on, then i made the vocoder strip (again with premade sheets from Evergreen).Vocoder strip and lens are made to be installed through the big opening from the underside, that eases painting without messing lens and strip.




Due to the extrem rounded front of the lens it sticked out far to much the way i planned, so it had to look for another way.Decided to use it´s original frame, just needed to sand it down 1-2mm.




Looks not that bad anymore, i think.




Started designing the top-plate




And also detailed the rear



Kit bashing is always a little bit tricky, it´s overdone very fast. It looks so different when glued on, but it blends in when primered
