Project: Water Cooling Turbine

This looks great.

Tonight I added a cover over the glow wire in the front, although its hard to see being white, the flash kind of washed it out.

Then I laid out the shape of the tube window:

and using a dremel, I cut it out:

here is the final window:

Here is the piece of plexi I heated and bent to match the tube:

and here it is taped to the tube:

Just for fun I installed the blue CC lights and tested the cover for the bottom.
I think it is alittle too bright. I might have to come up with something a little less intense for the bottom light.

I then traced the shape of the window onto the plexi and covered it in tape to protect it.

Cut it out:

So my final thoughts on the window were to "MAYBE" laser etch something in the plexi. lets say TBCS? or logo or something. I'm not sure yet.

happy modding, later!

Thanks, I'm assuming you mean when its done? Basically I'm going to paint it black and then come back with silver and grey and maybe drybrush it or air brush it. Not really sure about the finish. I have to make up some mockups for testing the finish before I start on the actuall pieces.

Right now I'm just concentrating on gettting it built. however I think I'm going to be forced to start painting sooner because of the clear plexi parts and the panels that will cover the edges.
