Step 10Finishing touches.
In order to hide the internals the best I could I went about using some black fabric to mask some of the ports.
I started by using some spraymount to stick some black cotton fabric to some black card. I then roughly cut out a few sections to go over the various ports (bottom usb section on the front, the floppy drive ports, and the rear power and ethernet connections.)
If the card is thin enough you can actually press it up against the ports to give you a slight impression on the card. You can then use that to cut out a hole for the ports to show through.
Use a sharpie to colour in any sections you want black, I coloured in the little plastic sections inside the USB ports, and the metal around the memory card reader, as well as a few sections of white styrene that were showing through.
I had previous played around with spray painting a frame on the inside of the fake perspex CRT, but I opted for cutting a frame from the cotton cardboard, The black frame helps to merge the USB LCD screen behind the perspex.
