[CENTER]Bit if a post backlog dump today folks, get your reading glasses

To compliment my fans for this build (ENRMAX Apolish Vegas blue) I wil be making my own custom grill/intakes


First mock up of the front grills, all hand made form plasticard, sorry no work pics for these at this stage in the build i had not picked up a decent camera



Ahh plasticard my new BFF



All constructed in .5mm plasticard, slightly smaller then you would expect for a 120mm intake


Finishes intake fresh out of the mould, at this stage they are very brittle, and need to cure for several days, maybe even a month to be on the safe side



Twin mk1 intakes and cutouts for Silverstone media panel, and blue ray drive, layed out to test fitting and space on the panel

And yes i know the intake flanges are not perfectly symetrical.... i have a cunning plan for that later

NOTE, allways use a canister filter mask when working with polyester resin... i did not, took 3 days before i stopped seeing double



Had some spare time today between work and fending the kids of with a dremel os have doen the prelimiary design of the side panel for Project Sulaco. Very Industrial with big intakes, think of it as a cross between an indulstrial cooling system and an escape/airlock

Prelim sketch (no laughing it was quick lol)


First stage, wire frames and checking the size works for styling

Materials :

• Window 7.5mm Smoked Acrylic
• Frame/Bezel hand cast polyester resin
• Banding 5mm alu
• Panel 1.5mm alu (building on factory side panel)
• Handles Billet case handles from MNPCtech
• Intakes Overkill Rings from MNPCtech

Renders of the window (not true colour)

Still a lot more design to do before i can start some serious fabrication
