Erik Bmods

Congrats and good luck man!

When TT is involved MP is near 😎

I am finishing editing everything, these are the full profiles in context
Still some color correction to do in 2 of the profiles, doesn't translate well after Youtube compression
 

Ah, we meet again on the battlefield. Best of luck to you Mike! 

This is a tiny preview of the profile "Space Travel", one of my favorites by myself 
What do you guys think?
I feel it's so cool!

😎  Let's get this party started !!    Theme:  "Like Mike & TT Vegas!"  😎

ATLANTIAN ARTIFACTS

Destination #4
I made it! Erik Bmods of the Origines tribe has completed his mission! It was a grueling journey but alas, I made it to my destination. I want to thank the ancient computer brand Thermaltake for all the parts they left to be scavenged. 
 

ATLANTIAN ARTIFACTS
The year is 2074. A global blackout has reset civilization. The people of Europe now renamed Europa have split into tribes, The Atlantians, The Crows, Crimson Republic and The Origines. I am Erik Bmods a member of the simple forest dweller tribe The Origines. I have been tasked with transporting mysterious Atlantian artifacts to their "ark".
 
Journey:
Destination #1: Record and Study Artifacts (product specs and photos)
Destination #2: Design Transport Vessel (design and model project)
Destination #3: Build and Assemble Transport Vessel (3d print, machine and assemble parts of project)
Destination #4: Deliver Artifacts to Atlantian Ark (final photos and video of project)
 
Now let the journey begin!

I promised them a pizza only if they win the contest haha

Very nice man ! GG

Destination #2
After carefully navigating the forest back to the Origines camp (thankfully no ALI-en bandits discovered me) I take a closer look at the core artifacts. After several tests I have learned the sheer power of these modules has made them highly volatile and therefore extremely dangerous to transport. I must create a safe and stable crate/capsule if I hope to complete my journey of transporting these rare artifacts to the Atlantian Ark.
 

Destination #1
 
Just another day in post-apocalyptic Europa. I, Erik Bmods, of the forest tribe Origines am on another routine hunting and gathering trip when I stumble across some unknown artifacts. Under further inspection I discover the parts I have stumbled across are the core components to mysterious artifacts from the Atlantian tribe (The only tribe whos technology managed to survive the global blackout). I must return to the camp with my find and study more.
 
P.S. I must be cautious as there are reports of ALI-en bandits lurking in the trees 👀

Im suddenly craving pizza lol. Looking great man!

Amazing as always Mike! Congrats on another amazing project.

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

nice work

Man I wish I knew about those lighting panels. This is lookin amazing btw!

Now for the main part, the RAM itself.

Thanks to elwirecraft.co.uk/ & elpanelandtape.co.uk/ , I have some great EL tape and wire for the custom mod, some are the colour I need and others can be covered to make any colour I want.
The EL wire is already the perfect colour I need, coupled with the battery packs it will be powered from within the sword so it can be displayed and used freely without wires getting in the way.
 

 
Love EL tape, can be cut to almost any shape as long as the power lead is still attached.
Along with other projects, I last used this on my Avengers JARVIS mod last year.

 


 

 
This is not in place yet, but gives you an idea of the look im going for, it will be part of the ARMOR breaking swords main blade in the centre, helping keep the focus on the main attraction

 
With the RAM I'm taking care to make sure its within the thickness needed so it can be used if needed later.

 
 

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.
