I'm sorry dude but this has been buggin me for a while now,... what does the HPRES stand for? LOL.
Helwert Packard Resivoir?
I think it's Ressurection, but now that you mention it, I think I've always just assumed that. heh.
Clarification from the originator of the term?
Rank's right guys!
HP Resurrection 3....HPRIII....HPRES III MEGA
the whole series went as follow,
The first HP was
HP Resurrection ... It was then rebuilt into HPRES Stealth'D
Then HP Resurrection II .. that was the purple one! HPR2 was orignally an air cooled pc. I then decided to ADD the Defyant Style Dual full lenght side tanks and some sexy water ..The PC became HP Resurrection II -Evolution. or HPR2-EVO... confused?
After that came HP Resurrection III HPR3 (this mod)..... as you all know this mod started life as Bondo guide for another forum.
The guide wich essentually was just the front panel was called.
Defyant's MEGA Blowhole and Bondo guide.... and indeed it was!
The mega came just from the enormous front dual blow hole but i decided to carry that one theme thru the whole mod.....
Mega plex....mega blow hole.... mega side tank! and mega paint :)
After HP3 MEGA came
HP4- Flame'D thats the silver case with the flamed side panel and Defyant style NO2 RES.
HP-SERVER is essentually HP5. ( the back one)
Watch out for HP-6 MAX !.... i havnt run outa ideas yet :)
oh god...i cant wait :eek: this will have to be purely amazing to compete against your othersQuote:

To just leave them "unlit" after all this work just did'nt seem fitting for mods that taken almost a yr to do now!
The solution again was EL wire! i swear i must have brought 20 mtrs of this stuff by now! but this stuff is a "liter's dream"!
The method i'll use is a Needle and thread or shoe lace idea......
Basically the EL wire will loop from front to back in one continuos length.
the first of many holes are drilled.
Next is to drill the same holes thru the window as well!
The window is glued to the side panel and the RED and BLUE EL wire are passed thru.
These are then fed along the outer side of the panel and then back.
To keep the back of the panel tidy the inner feeds are covered with black techflex , heatshrinked and glued into place.
The end result are 4 outer runs of RED and BLUE lights :)
The Side blades will be channeled then glued into place over the EL wires!
A sneeky peek before all Blades are done for HP3's final shoot tomorrow.
sweet, like the effect. This is awsome cant wait to see the final product !
Fantastic use of EL Wire with those blades.
