Fantastic work! Think the etching will work on my PVC? :D maybe acetone or something....
Thanks, guys!
I really hope so! I'm very glad and actually a little relieved that someone can actually see the concept I tried to express. :P>
Dethlore, I used saltwater etching (used for metals usually) to etch my parts, so I'm not sure it would do much of anything to PVC. However, I definitely think it would be cooler if you found a technique to perform that sort of thing to PVC! That would be pretty awesome for grip/shroud work and the such.
Etching PVC with acetone? Well, it'll certainly eat into the PVC, but I have no idea what you could use as a resist. Any adhesive would dissolve quickly, as would paints.
Congrats on finishing it. Amazing work! How long did it take for you to finish this?
Thank you! It was probably a solid week with my friend, late nights and such. It really wasn't as complicated as I thought it would be, and honestly only took about 2 days planning in my head. xD>
