Modifying RAM I think the structural design of the Thermaltake. Beautiful in white and silver, it is so beautiful that it fits my concept.I stick to the principle of line cutting in two shades, black and gray, which is unique to NASA's discovery spaceship. Paint spray which was done by my wife. With that I want the pattern and lettering on the RAM stick I want in a simple but charming coolness. So I have been experimenting with something new in water-based sticker applications i have never been done before, and the results, with whatever experiment I see in the last picture, I am very satisfied with this work.

Presenting. RAM-BO, First Blood. He doesnt go to war, He is war!

batman cant come aout to play this week, he is in my showroom setting up his dark knight server. robin download too much #### and f.....ed it up. batwoman found out and they are both under house arrest till they get it running again, she wants to play sims, this is serious guys!

Now my original plan was to have these machined out of aluminum, but that fell through as I couldn't find someone in time to do the job for me. So I ended up printing the parts. Now I knew I was going to have to take close up photos and video of these parts so I wanted them to be as smooth as possible to replicate the cube in the show and we all know how 3d printed parts dont look the smoothest right off the bed (why I originally wanted to have them machined from aluminum). So to make life a little bit easier I set the settings on the print to super quality, the print time was longer but layers were thinner making the part a bit easier to post process. After sanding each part using 80 grit then upping gradually to 240 grit I primed the parts with a filler primer. I then wet sanded with a 600 grit before airbrushing a custom mix of black and silver pearl as my base layer. After the base layer I weathered using the silver pearl and filled the hieroglyphs with a sky blue. I then did a final pass with a brown and black wash to dirty the parts up a bit. Now I needed to shorten the height of the modules to fit in the TT R22 reservoirs they would be housed in. So I grinded down the top bar of the heatsink so I could move the actual ram pcb higher into the heatsink. And the final look before detailing with logo. Just a taste before final pics.

see you soon

so guys, here are the final pics, a video is in the process right now. more to come.

Blades been "toughened" with some resin and sanded down with the rest of the sword for painting. I will be using 2K paints for most of the black parts starting with a black base coat. Once thats all sanded down i repeat as many times as needed, in this case 3 times then a final sand before the main black is added. The Handel needed from shaping to make it comfortable to hold with one or two hands. the blade is almost perfect now, just a bit more sanding hear you can see the battery holder for the sword along with the power button.
