X Box progress

Here is the progress I have made so far on the x box case, This is a spare case I have picked up to experiment with. The case was quite fiddly to take apart, a youtube visit was in order to see how the case comes apart, that done I used the copper effect that was taught in Andy Skinners 'time worn' online workshop, very very good course, link is on my widget bar.
This pic shows the face plate, I have added some half pearls to give a riveted look, when I get round to doing the case for my x box I will use more rivets and maybe add a stamped decal or something to the top just to break the colour up. I will also paint all the parts in one go as colour matching was a pain (impossible).
Hopefully I will get my x box apart next week and get it finished.
