Ok, Here is the final kitlist of the USS Eurisko :
But first a few words of thanks to my sponsors :
HIGHFLOW ! - For everything liquidcooling related and the best hardware - There's Freddy !
Gigabyte ! - Joost and Bernice a big fat thanks for the support !
Bitspower ! - Vincent, you the man !
Brink Of Modding ! - Peter couldnt have done it without you !
Update !
Yess ... More Goodies !!!
Special Depron paint, backplate for my GFX, Lian-Li Media bay external connections, new sticker, red leds for the Bussard Collectors in the nacelles, warm air/solder tool, ledstrip for the canope lighting, and a lot of molex stuff ...
Gonna be busy this weekend!
iTS depron time !
Man that take up a lot of time. Spend roughly 8 hours designing and building the bottom saucer. Could have made my life easy by doing just simple surfaces with little to no design work to make sure I'll be ready for the voting of the CM Compo but that's not how a want to play this game!
With this closing piece I have spend at least 30 minutes alone, getting it just right by sanding to a fraction of a millimeter.
Found a temporary solution (well solution, the problem is a lot less visable) for the CCFL issue with the LCARS panel.
Why were the CCFL's so visable? Because the rest of the inside of the case does not reflect light! If it would do that the strong light from the CCFL's directly would become less. So I used the same ALU tape I used in the canope to make it more reflective.
Ahh success, only now the light is reflected so good that the ratio between panel and fancontroller is completely lost. I need to devise a way to be able to dim the CCFL's. Think I will use the fancontroller, just need to check if the wattage is ok for that!. So solved one problem , only to find the next.
Also build the mediabay into the footing of the case. This will be integrated into the standard at a later date. Gonna finish it off with depron tomorrow!

Here is a short update!
Extremely expensive this plexi glas plate and now it looks like swiss chees (there's even more holes now)
First 2 are for the rad's, second is to replace the PSU (if needed) and the last is for the tubing towards the Pylons/Warp Nacelles
Also started work on the lasers. This is the 30mW green for the main deflector.
Pulled the coverplastic of the back of the plexi to get a better idea of the effect.
Did a boatload of other small and not very interesting but very much needed little jobs but I will not bore you with that.
Today a mandatory no-modding day as it is mothersday!

YES IT DOES !!!!
OK, what happened????!?
Just to much left to do in to little time. Big thing were the servo's for THE nacelles. Had to order bigger ones because of THE force they needed to deliver but Now they make à sound like someone turning their feet in gravel when THE nacelles are up. Could have made THE case look pretty and leave major features out but that's not THE way i want to play this game. And closing it up Now only to have to break it because of THE remaining work is definately not what i want to do. Making THE perfect ship for me is also winning!
Better luck NeXT time!
Thansk man!
So your not going to be in CM11?
I am in CM 2011 but I will not be able to deliver a finished product!
Its 95% complete but there are several major features not functioning like the servo's, the remote controlled lasers and ledsstrips and there is no paint job. The PC does work, did a dry run the other night, but the depron detailling of the exterior will take too much time because I spent to much time on debugging al the other stuff.
Yesterday I found myself almost putting a layer of foam desolving paint on the model because i had a wrong delivery and did not check it properly due to time stress, that was the cue for me to take a step back! Believe me I want to win and I will work to the max to get it as far as possible but I have to maintain a certain level of quality.
Well good luck. Its due Sunday the 15th right?
