Due to some space issues, I postponed the painting of the doors.

INstead I also reworked the opening mechanism for the doors.



Than this little fellow needed some color on him.





Next up, I cut the neccesary part of the case into shape. In addition, I made a new backplate that will give stability
to the graphics cards.







The inside of the Dalek was covered with bronze foile.

,

Before installing the water tanks, I made some clamps that will tidely hold them.





Then the water tanks were installed. I also put the PSU in place and attached it to the bottom plate.





The hardware will be located on a little construction over the PSU. It is entirely made from wood.
It will be covered with wooden boards that are covered with foile as well.
Doing this, I already started to incorporate the water cooling and cable management parts.  




 

Now its time for the first bunch of the final pictures.

But first of all I want to thank all the sponsors, that make such awesome events happen.
Huge thanks to Thermaltake for having me participate in this contest.

In addition to the pictures, I will also make a short making of video and show all the functions on
the mod.

So here we go with the pictures.









































 

FrostByte is complete. Final Photos.

So this weekend, I worked a bit on the light system for this section.

I planned to build a running light effect here.
I sorted all the necessary parts ans soldered the circut.





To place the LEDs more inpedendently I already solderd all the resistors.
There is some space left in the top right. Here I will ad another LED effect later.



Speaking of LEDs, for this particular effect, I need 32 LEDs, so I attachd cables to every singel one.





Then, I cut the acrylic parts for the light. Because every LED will be lighten up one section, I needed also 32 acrylic parts.
After cutting all the parts were sanded down to refract the light later on.









Then I glued the LEDs into place and made a first test if it fit.







Also the running light was tested.

Thank all for the amazing feedback. Will try to do my best for this mod
I am kind of a night person so I dont need that much sleep *lol*
 
As a next step, I started to work on the little highlight for the mid section.
What makes a Dalek a real Dalek. Sure a Dalek
I modeled a rought shape from newspaper and fixed it with masking tape.



Then I tried out the positioning on the inside.





A selfmade eye was also included.



To get everything into shape, I used a very simple and cheap technique. Paper maché.
I applied multiple layers to hide the structure of the newspaper. When it dried the entire
model will be very strong but also light weight.





In the mean time, I started the next section.
First, I cut a round piece of wood and made a template for the structure, that should hold the round wooden beams on the outside
and the acrylic glass pieces on the inside.



Because I did not have wood in the right thickness on hand, I glued two pieces together.





Than it was attached to the round plate. In addition, I cut out the top of the construction and installed
the roound wood beams on the outside. Smaller gaps were filled with wood filler.









I 3d printed small details, that I glued into place.





For a more industrial kind of look, I used some screws.





Next up will be the light system for this part and than I will make the basic structure of the "head"

Thanks all.

Sleep and food are for the weak

To see he inside of the mid section, I needed to cut the glasfibre body in three pieces.





To make them fit together after cutting, I wraped on side in masking tape and used bodyfiller to hide the Cutting line.
That way you will not see a bit gap when this section is closed.







Then, I primed the parts to check if some areas need more sanding or more filler.



While the primer dried, I took the time to paint the doors and the bottom of the base section black.
This will function as another layer of primer. I used dispersion paint because its cheaper than spray paint and
with some care the results are the same.







For some more details on the bottom edge, I drilled holes and installed some bolts.
Then the edges were painted in a silver tone.





And then back to the mid section. For the opening, I used the same mechanism as for the doors.

To achieve more stability, I glued small wooden beams on the side of the mid construction.







Then, I needed to make an inner construction were the top part can rest on.
I cut some plywood into shape and screwed it into place.









For an easier access while working on this part, and so save some weight, I cut away the unnecessary
material. I also added the holes for the watercooling.





Next, I figured out were to put the small water tanks for this section.



I built a mountingsystem for them and attached it to the bottom plate.





I marked the outline for the tubes and added a small wooden box. You will see later for what it will be used





And here is a picture of the water cooling layout in this area.
