another brushed ipod

Im not taking credit for doing this first......so dont get mad.

Since i got a new board, and it came with some stickers, i wondered, why not put it on my ipod? So i put the sticker on and brushed around it with some fine sandpaper. Im very glad with the results. (i think its a bird or somethin)

Nice design! Must have been a pretty complex masking job, what did you use?

Read his posts carefully and you will see that he used a sticker.

Thats prety cool.

It reminds me of the old trans amp fire bird decals.

Wouldnt that be a good idea...

good job. Why doesn't somebody try using one of those big apple stickers that came with the ipod to mask it? just put the whole sticker on, the use an Xacto knife to cut away the clear part and brush to your little heart's content.

edit: btw, look out for that dent, as far as i can tell it voids your warranty if the hard drive fails. Thats what happened to me =(
