"OK, UNCLE" . .. . gave up and put a CIRCUIT BOARD in my REO too!

[pdib]

I know, that took me longer to write, I think, than just making another door.

 

[yaypudding]

You ever think about doing some chemical etching on a raw aluminum door?

 

[Xobeloot]

Pudding... Your avatar sends shivers up my fur.

It's not a bike... It's a chopper. Who's is it? It's Zed's... Who is Zed? Zed's dead baby... Zed's dead.

I swear every line in that movie is a classic

I hadn't . . . . . yet. Perhaps, good sir, after you finish making my swirl painted REO, you'd be up for trying the etching?
I had very briefly considered something like chemical patinas, but aluminum doesn't seem to do much in that area (i could be wrong there), and then there's protecting it, too.

 

[yaypudding]

Hahaha, I got an earful from the GF for the paint fumes, so I think I'm gonna have to wait till it warms up so I can do it outside.

I don't have anywhere safe in my house to handle those acids so it'll be a stretch for me. I'd figure with your fabrication skills it might be something up your alley.

i tried commissioning the guy who did my paintball marker to do a reo for me, but in an Afghanistan multi-cam pattern.... He declined... I was sad...

RANDOM XOBE MOMENT!!!! Did I ever tell you about the time when the easter bunny hit squad ransomed me for a case of near-beer?

 

[Crash Moses]

Whoa....Army training is way different from Marine training.

The latest in MOP gear? And do they come in camo?

 

[Xobeloot]

lol.... easter in A-stan... Spec-Op Santa rolled through screaming HO HO... PTSD while manning the mini-gun mounted to his gator. Don't think I have that pic anymore

and yes, that was the trial run for the new MOPP gear... Code-name HOPP

So, my vaping buddy/cube mate and I were scrounging around our storage space at work and came across an old Avaya FO transceiver.

Completely ignoring pdib's instructions he whipped out his snips and box cutter and created this in about 10 minutes (the board is the perfect size to fit the Reo's door tracks...that helped a lot).

As others have stated, pictures don't do these justice...even for such a quick and dirty job.

 

[Xobeloot]

now THAT looks like a detonator!

 

[Yaba]

Hey give me some credit I did have to trim it a little Being as thin as it was did help allot. We should have taken a picture of the board before I cut it.....

 

[Xobeloot]

it looks awesome! I like how it has all the chips and such

 

[Crash Moses]

That sounds cool! I'd love to see some colors on this stuff. What all colors you got? you got enough you'd consider swapping me a blank for something?

PM sent.

now THAT looks like a detonator!

I'd like to see you try getting that one past TSA!

 

[turbocad6]

wow, populated board looks sick... now if it was functional circuitry... hmmm, how about a voltage regulator built right into the door with some slide contacts on the inside... with a tiny display too... that would be crazy
