Agreed, great job. You're making me want to scrap my build and start something rounded!
ey yo i need updates.. NOW! :D
Thanx a lot for your comments Matt & p0Pe!
As you wish. NOW!
I only had some small childish dremel-like tool, so it was time to buy a real one. With that new toy I started building the fake reservoires that will be on the back of the Orb (see the renderings on the first page).
I cut and sanded a can of shaving foam that perfectly fits the spray I mentioned some pages ago (both generously sponsored by my girlfriend :D )
Did you know there are bags inside these cans :?
Here you see how the spray fits inside the can:
Thats the can sanded and marked for cutting. The pattern is the same as it will be on the Orbs sphere. I cut a stripe of paper as a stencil to get all the bars in the same width.
First pieces cut out:
Left over:
Glued onto the spray so I don't mix up the pieces. The space between the pieces will be corrected of course.
And painting the pieces insides red. The outside will be black. It was quite windy, so I needed the bottles as weight for the paper.
The next time I will paint the outside and glue the pieces onto the spray. I hope it will look good with one or two UV-Leds and the bubbling red glowing water. I the effect is satifying I will build a second one.
i bet thats gonna look real SWEET when your done with it:P xDDD looking foreward to seing the result:D
i actually never thought that this case would be buildable, and look how wrong i was:D its turning out amazing!
and I WILL SEE THIS THING LIVE

One or your colleges (Froop) has nominated your mod to be featured and I concur, excellent work!
looki what ive done :banana: :banana:
gratz on the featured! you sure deserve it:)
froop where will you see it?
Wow, what a great honour to be listed here next to ferry, tribal, renderman and all the other "pro-modders" :bowdown:
I think FrooP deserves the same. He does fantastic work on his Unit4. His ideas come to life without any CNC- or other high-tech machines. BTW: Thats why I like TBCS that much. Most of the mods feature unique ideas AND are handmade. I admire mods like "Dark Blade" but thats not the spirit of "modding". :rolleyes:
Well, thanks a lot, Froop and jbdnsn! I hope to write the next update soon.
:banana: Yipiie, I am featured! :banana:
