Rob "Deblow" Deluce

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.

 
 

Once I had my design almost done I started printing some on paper to get the scale right, I also carved one from wood to get a feel for the size and shape even better, plus it made the kids happy

I did 3 sizes in total, the 1st was way too small and the second was too big, the final size is the one my daughter is holding.
Once this competition is over I plan to keep the sword and plan some other items to go with it on display in my collection/gaming room, so the design is as close to the sword in the game as I could get it with a couple of added extras, the memory will be added later in the build.

 
I've printed most of the parts now and started to join them, maybe 90hrs printing in total so far.




As with most 3D printed things, this is going to need a lot of sanding and filling to remove all signs it was printed, the is almost always the hardest part to get perfect.


one half of the sword printed minus the bolts and I also plan to replace the text that was printed with some more detailed versions if it goes to plan.


 

I'm "shell shocked"
You should make a tiny pizza box for them!
 

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

🙂 i guess both quotes add up to the same thing 🙂 nice work sofar

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.
 

 

thx. yes that was another mod i made with thermaltake and nvidia and asus. always cooled with thermaltake. the chainsaw gun really works. it all started with that poster
 

Destination #3
I have made it half way in my journey but I must stay vigilant as the most dangerous road is still ahead. With my completed design I am now able to build and assemble the capsule/crate which will house the 4 Atlantian artifacts I discovered. 

woah, thats longer than i thought it was supposed to be...
i keep hearing that so i thought i would repeat it... 🙂

Thanks so much for the love guys.

Another week later ... time for Toughram module #3 ... Lad's & Gen's may I have the honor to show you 'THE TOUGH-KNIFE' !!
After a long search, I found the perfect spring-assisted Batman knife, removed all unnecessary accessories and sharpened it as small as possible. 3D printed a TToughram-style ram module cover that keeps the blade in place, but also keeps the ram module shape as unobtrusive as possible. Perfect for BATMAN! 😎
 
The Making OF -> 
 
  
 

Yeah i love TMNT ! I hope that the idea will give a good result

Some more renders of the final 3D model, not 100% how I want some parts but i will alter the parts as I start to prep it before painting and sanding.
Mostly some angels that I struggled to get correct when making the 3d model.
 





 
The blade will be sharp but this also means its going to be thin on the edge, so it will be strengthened with resin and epoxy glue.
The bolts/nuts and some other parts will be resin printed to help keep the detail.

Pizza time! 
not sure I've even seen a turtles mod/build, look forward to seeing the end result. 
 

NICE!! 😎👌

very nice indeed

nice progress mate, not seen the show yet but you sound like you could get a job on the show acting

The RAM looks great to start with, but Tt want it modded! so lets start.

I want to keep the original shape but also add lighting without adding bulk or chopping up the RAM, so EL is perfect for the job.
This will be the base of the mod so the memory underneath will stay intact and undamaged.
Some paintwork planned for this later.

good luck everyone 😎
 

can i be on the wait list also please
Nice bat shades, you make it look easy
 

I think I want to make the RAM get into space that represents technology and innovation. And durability in all environments I love to watch movies and play games about space, so this was the origin of this project. My next step is to design.
