mellons Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Here is a case exercise that started out as a 6154 silix- lugs are not finished and hope to highly polish case when shape completed. This reshaping has included the following: creating creases all round (very pronounced between lugs) an athaya re-worked low-profile bezel re- shaped solid plexi threaded case with athaya tube and crown installed lugs drilled for neckyzips thicker solid lug bars Initially i thought I had lost the shape by going for the dramatic lug-reshape but the profile is growing on me. I think the stock silix is unsuited to the 6154 shape in any event- case is way too high even reduced as much as one can go without re-threading etc. anyway will be a fun build....here are some shots. am thinking mabye take case down in height a little bit more.... here is a comparison shot with an athaya 6154 case: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Looks a piece of nice work mate.... I love the look of the Turtle head lugs I think those extra thick bars (the eyes) bring out the shape.... FWIW I quite like the idea of taking the case edges between the lugs down to match the pillow corners and possibly on the sides... I like the plexi too but with the Turtle theme in mind how about keeping more of a hump in it (Shell like shape) Just my pennies worth mate... Nice work and very original... Thanks for sharing.. Where do you think you will go with the dial?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
