What the Swordfish was MEANT to look like

But my camera sucks. This pic doesn't do justice for how beautiful it looks. The chrome is shiny, there's a black outline of the fish, and the red is slightly brighter. I've also got a Red handle drying in my garage.

I might post a cleaner pic tomorrow.

I am thoroughly impressed.;)

Nice. Get some better pictures for us! :p

I think my post was deleted.... was it that profane??? ANYWAYS

My question was, what inspired the swordfish? instead of perhaps, some girl from all the anime you watch? I really love though. Its suweet! :D

Lets go fishing Ash... I can bring my Dig. camera for you to use..
Nice Man..:cool: :cool:

Nice job:cool:

Damn Chrome and fingerprints. Gotta get a new coat of Chrome on there and Clearcoat it :mad:

Ah, well. Give it another day or so, then expect a higher res pic or two (with much better lighting :p).

Yes, I did get the inspiration from an Anime I watch, namely Cowboy Bebop. Spike's ship, the Swordfish II, is exactly where I got the name. I liked the ship and named my case accordingly.

nice man! I'd like to see a clearer pic if you can get one. Did you chrome it yourself? How'd you do that?

sweet you like cowboy bepop?:D i got that whole DVD set:) o man you outa make a cutout of some gundam model on the case! either way, it looks sweet!!

Damn Clearcoat and Chrome. The Clearcoat ate away at the shinyness and I'm clean out of Chrome paint :mad:

But it's worth it being protected from fingerprints ;) It's still gray/silver-ish and I'd rather have a gray color than smudges and fingerprints permanently etched in the case.

Oh yeah. Gotta love the Bebop ;) Just a shame that I can't find the Perfect Sessions anywhere :(

Besides the obvious fact that I stuck a logo on the side, I'm not so crazy about Gundam. 0083 was good, but still doesn't warrant a side Lexan window. I'm thinking of having a mecha on my next case, but not a Gundam.

I'm not going to get another case for a long time (likely this one (http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?image=11-124-004-01.JPG/11-124-004-02.JPG/11-124-004-03.JPG/11-124-004-04.JPG/11-124-004-05.JPG/11-124-004-06.JPG)), so I've got plenty of time to draw up plans for my window ;)

Very nice, Ash. :)

Far from spectacular, but it's halfway decent for what limited resources I had.

And most of this can be blamed on the clearcoat. The chrome didn't seem to like the Clearcoat much :mad:

Ash, do me a favor and shut up. :D :p
It looks incredible, certainly nothing to complain about! :)

Well, what would you THINK I say? "It looks like crap, now say it does" ;)

Gotta explain myself :p
