Half-Life 2 - City Scanner Mod

Direct intervention

„A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash
faces in with a sledge-hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of
people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into
a grimacing, screaming lunatic.”
George Orwell - Nineteen Eighty-Four

I admit it, i have a soft spot for hammers. I always keep at least one close by. Or at least something i can use as a hammer. I used one of the more harmless ones to shape the shields. Flat they were of no use to me. 

With the dremmell and the sand paper attachments i got rid of the „Tiebreak Green“ paint. A reminder of a happier past for the hood of the car i'm sure. I did it rough perfectly aware of what i do.

I decided on black mat for the new color. Again i intentionaly did a sloppy job (2 coats of paint no finish), the signs of the sandpaper are quite visible.

I made a simple test before painting. Had to check the placement for the shields joints.
