    Tonight I sat down and filed the plastic cutouts.

    Now I have 2 identical, mirror image pieces. Isn't that lovely?

    Well, here is tonight's update.

    I stopped picked up some semi-translucent plastic as a backer for the bottom section,

    I cut it to shape and set it aside.


    Then came the task of cutting all the small strips to add to the sides.

    Too bad half way thru, I almost sliced the end of my left middle finger off. I was holding a straight edge and pulled a razor blade right across the tip. -I didn't get any photos.

    Then I glued the sides, front and back together and added some gussets for strength.

    Then I glued on the little strips:


    then I glued it to the tube:


    Then just for fun, I checked to see how the tubing would look:


    Thats it for now. Tomorrow I'm going to get working on the cover that goes over the radiator.

    Later,

    the side paneling on the base with the strips for detail looks simply amazing. i love the way the tube looks going into the base, it really add that flair to make it unique. nice job

    Thanks for everyones encouragment on this! I really appreciate it.

    So, as promised, here is another update.

    I had some blue CC tubes that I never turned on inside my case, so I took those out to use in the base. They will only light up the base area. with that Translucent plastic film I showed earlier.



    Then I worked on the front and back of the cover for the radiator:


    Here is a shot installed on the tube.


    Then for grins, I hooked up the fans to test airflow. WOW does having two of those fans move a lot of air!!! It literlly felt like a vacume at the front of the tube. Here is a shot with the flash on:

    and with the flash off, The bright blue really washes out the image. I will have to play with the settings to try and get a better shot.


    Thats if for a few days, I am going on vacation tomorrow and won't be back untill this weekend, So everyone take care, Later!

    We decided to leave tomorrow morning for Vacation so I got a little modding done tongiht. Only problem was my wife packed our camera so I couldn't take any pictures. All I got done was the sides to the back and started on the cover. So its not a big deal.

    Later,
