Cooler Master Scout 2 Camo Edition

[JJ_Sky5000]

Its been a crazy summer & fall , and has been a blast with my family and friends, but back into the garage i go for a few projects. First project is the New Cooler master Scout 2 case, Having a military name and theme on the box i am definitely going with a camo theme

The case has a very sleek design and the Handle on top is great for lan gaming

I like the window, but since i will be watercooling i will be removing the fan grills and making it bigger

planning on removing one or both hard drive cages to make room for teh water cooling

Time to break it all down

using the scout insignia on the side panel

Camo paracord just need in a few other builds this will be perfect.

One would think growing up hunting a fishing i would be able to paint camo that wasnt the case lol . It took me three tries and several stencils before i begin to like the design .
sanded and Primed

black then brown

beige

a few touches up and it will be finished

Started cutting out the Guns and skull out of plexi. I ended up redoing the skull

testing the position

In for sub.

What will you be putting in the case?

 

[JJ_Sky5000]

Touching up a few spots

getting ready to cut a bigger Window out , I did like how this look but going water cooling make a pretty easy descion for me to do it.

sorry a little blurry

The paint seems to flow to gether nicely

Camo, aluminum and Mesh from the case what could i make?

using the logo from the CM scout 2 box

A little break for the holiday Back to modding, Adding another cut out on the case . using a new blade and u can make some nice tight cuts with this.

Cm red

but the finish looks pretty good

Making room for the 240 rad for the front of the case, The optical drive bays made it too snug, i no longer use optical drives so one less bay wont hurt. so time to bring the dremal out

Fits now

Stayed tuned more to come!!

Looks awesome! Only little thing I noticed, is the cut for the side window, looks a bit jagged. Thought about getting some sandpaper onto that?

 

[JJ_Sky5000]

(good eye) i did pop the window out and and clean the edge a little bit, I may get some black u trim and go around it

What about the "scars" over the Scout emblem? Is it part of the design? Just asking

I kept wanting to give it some battle scars and i am still undecided.

Modding tip ( I usually lay a towel down when working with a finish piece)
and didnt notice when i was riviting back the bay drives that it was laying on scrapes of metal.

I brush painted the spots before boxing up,

still might scruff it up a bit when it comes back from Vegas

 

[Krazy Owl]

In my humble opinion it look more like you butchered the job. Could think of a painted design with torn metal or bullet holets instead maybe.

butchered ? it is was scratch on my work bench, I am NOT going to painnt fake bullits holes or torn metal. If i wanted that effect it would be real
