Ok guys so its time i have started assemble of my farnsworth from warehouse 13
last night i sanded down my faceplate and cleaned it up
tonight i weathered it and filled in the gaps of the lettering and numbers
paints i used were
kyrlon Satin Moss
Kyrlon Earth Brown satin finish
Rostuleum Flat black enamel
More pics to come tommorrow night im going to assemble all the gribbles on the face plate and than it will be on to the case and fitting the jacks magnets etc also still have to get the phono jacks
-------------------------------------------------------
Ok guys here are more pics case you are wandering what the blue thing is that is a wall brace for screws when putting up curtains what i did was cut it in half and used it as the connector piece for the left dial it snapped in perfect and allows the dial to be fully functually where i can move it but not worry about it falling off
I also hit a snag on my screen as i cant decide if i want to paint the backing white or black and i have to sand down my center knob and paint that before installing so again more pics going to try and get more work finished on it by friday as i have to work late thursday at my job
--------------------------
Ok guys next update everything is mounted and face plate is 95% done all i have left is to get the eschurian tacks bought and put in as for the case im waiting on the phono jacks once i get those ill mock up the case drill the holes than paint than install the jacks and the farns will be done
case you guys are wondering how, I mounted everything. I used hot glue for all the knobs. I used the blue wall mount brackets just cut in halfs to allow functional use of the knobs for the center rectangle and the speaker slits i cut a old speakers mesh off and hot glued that on. i also mounted low pull strength magnets and than took two small screws cut them down and mounted them on bottom of case so the face plate stays in place and wont slip out.
As for paint the center knob is painted Krylon satin Espresso and the screen is flat black
so more pics to come once i get the phono jacks
Final Pics guys
let me know what you guys think
Thanks
Matt
