So my girlfriend is planning to cosplay as Gaige the Mechromancer from Borderlands 2...
Cue Xmas present idea!

Let's take one of these:

It's a combination of stencilled rattle-can work, and hand-painted acrylic, with a good few layers of clear-coat on top and between some layers.
The gaffa tape is real, and I removed almost all of the little rivets, replacing them with big nuts and bolts from my bits-box.
I also outlined all the hardware and scratches/ dents with black lines to maintain the "cell-shaded" look.
The hinges were a pain in the hoop! I removed the originals, and found the closest I could get size-wise - Only realising afterwards that the way they're designed in the game, the physically cannot work.
So I used some chrome tape to fake the hinge on the front face of the box, and epoxied some more screw-heads in place - No time to find another bigger hinge and cut more out of the lid and boxy, but I think it looks pretty good as is! Not perfect, but given all the other little things I went back and did time and again ( "Hmm. That eye isn't QUITE the right shape!" ) I had to draw a line ( No pun intended ) at some point and get the thing wrapped for Xmas! :)

Hope you Vault Hunters out there like it!
 
Clear adhesive vinyl back from the printers tonight! :D
