Thats pronounced "Soviet Xbox of Three Six and Oh"
Well late this night, my friend and I were discussing some 360 case mods, and, just getting back from watching "Wanted" (alright movie tbh), i had nothing to do, so i thought, what the hell.
The descison what design to put on my Xbox came naturally, what could be cooler than a soviet xbox? (dont say awsm xbox, because its not true, communist russia is cooler.). So off i went, printed out some nice, large decals, and went to work.
Here are my materials, A cutting board (plastic bin flipped upside down), An exacto knife, and the decals i printed earlier
Next came the exacto-knifing out the lettering and hammer & scythe, easier than i thought, but cutting them out killed my fingers, i had to take numerous breaks because the back end of the knife kept digging into my finger
Success!
These actually came out better than i thought.
Next step, using the cutouts to get the positioning right on the Xbox
Using the stencils i made, i taped them on the Xbox and began coloring (Yes, i used a sharpee, no red spray paint that i could find at 2am)
30 mins later:
BAM!
Now to put on Союз Советских Социалистических Республик (CCCP)
One down...
Done!
Chea boy!
Now for some faceplate decoration...
And its done! Btw, the odd discoloration in some of the photos, is only apparent in the photos. IRL, everything is a nice, deep red hue. I started at about 9pm and finished at around 2, but i did take a lot of breaks so the whole thing probably took 3 hours, now im owining communist russia style... Hope you like it!
Some more pics:
Ill probably do some work today, changing some stuff on the faceplate and adding a bit more to the other side, i'll be sure to update.
