so the case for Daniel to mod arrived 

[Richi]

And a big shout out to the sponsors  of the hardware provide, will follow up with individual pics soon

[Richi]

This is the hardware used for the build

[Richi]

And let me just say I really enjoyed the day watching someone else do the elbow work for once

 

Daniel is laughing here because I actually told him this is great, me sitting back feet up drinking coffee why someone else does the elbow grease work of sanding panels ready for primer

Nice update images guys 

[Richi]

So we had a very intersting weekend, panels primered and prepped

 

 

 

Daniel learned the importance of spraying the edges before the main panel

[Richi]

Day 2 was funny before laying down the colour on the panels, I gave Daniel a box of tac cloths, he decided that after dropping one it would still work.. Of course I called him a lot of names with stupid in it (sorry Dan) and made him post for this picture to show him the error in his ways.

DIRT AND TACK CLOTH AND SPRAYED PANEL = scratched panel.... lucky I caught him in time.

Hustion we have some paint down on day 3 of the last weekend

[Richi]

Left for 6 minutes to come back to this, not ideal at all, but re rub down and start again.

[ADAM LCS TT]

paint, paint and more paint. Poor daniel.

practise makes perfection fella.

Lets go.....

[Richi]

at last Daniel has put down a semi decent coat of paint without me having to re rub it down, onto attempt 4 and a lovely wet coat of performance blue, the dried color is different thanks to water based paints.

And here we have one panel laqcured and ready to go, 

[Richi]

onto the feet of the case, these are going to be done in a simular style to the cars layout,. 
Daniel did not have fun putting the primer down and I have to agree, the bugs kept landing on it unlike i have ever sean

These guys are coming on strong now, and are well underway 

Fantastic job fellas

The last weekend was interesting with Daniel pushing hard for his tube bending, despite me doing a layout that was simple, so proud of him after 12 tubes of practice

 

[Richi]

also on the agenda was putting the aida64 screen in with custom design to match the theme as well as adding some lighted cube panels to go with the whole theme of the project.

[Richi]

The panels, I left the painting to Daniel and here is were i contributed in trying to make it pretty with the lacquer.. Daniel was able to do the feet on his own in the end after quite a few trys, not up to my standard but he needed to do this himself.

pixel screens and glass etching done

On the final hurdle with only 6 days to go and here is what inspired Daniel, he was at my house when i took a test drive in this (he had other plans to do some fancy with anime and candy paints, but after the test drive he was insistant he wanted it themed on this).

[Richi]

I dont think he done too shaby a job and can only imagine what else he may have done with access to a 3d printer etc to do this, so proud of what he achieved here,

A big Thanks to Thermaltake for inviting me and him and good luck to everyone it was fun.
