MODDING THE MOD- REO "re-do" (goosebox gets new feathers)

[pdib]

So I got this REO (my only) from a great guy, and I love it; but I had to make it mine. I'm so excited about my cosmetic results, I just have to share. (Sorry if this is supposed to be posted elsewhere, I claim ignorance.) Hope y'all like it.

Thanks guys, tell you what tho. That was TWO DAYS without my REO. Not easy. Had to fall back to the Aga. . . . . .yeah, NOPE. First vape upon completion was like coming home from an arduous journey. NICE

 

[JC Okie]

Nice!!!!!!

Damn pdib, that's a Vulcan work of art. I didn't know you had painting and machining skillz bro.

Now I have one question:

Can I buy it back?

JK. Enjoy bro

Nice work! I really like the machine work on the inserts. Kinda reminds me of the machining on the inside of old vault doors. Always loved that pattern.

 

[QusieQ]

Dang, that is awesome looking!!

 

[pianoguy]

[CATastrophe]

Very nice and unique!

 

[fatherdano]

what paint did you use?

 

[pmoraldo]

Love it nice job

 

[pdib]

what paint did you use?

I used Hammerite metallic from Rustoleum, I can't speak for its longevity, but will try to follow up. I do have an all-aluminum backup plan w/ different textures where the blue is now.

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone! (Warm and fuzzy).

 

[super_X_drifter]

Ok p-dibby, now that you are officially a reonaut, you can post your picture to the real us thread. Just saving you some eventual / future harassment

 

[pdib]

Aha, thank you sir.

BTW. Just checked, NO Hammerite, just Rustoleum

I relinquish my mcgyvering crown! Very nice job!

My AGA is not so bad, except it wants to stand upright, or it leaks. And the tank doesn't last long enough. But the vape itself is ok.

Maybe a bit of the noob excitement on my part; but given one or the other, there's no thinking about it for me. (Especially after the gravity fighting Genny wick has cooked the bottom half of my gazpacho.)

Keep the crown, Commie, I can't turn metal on a lathe.
