Are you doing green UV inside the pump tower? If so, it might be a bit too much of the green, you will lose definition. You may want to go with a blue or red UV on the tower, to help differentiate the parts.
Just my $.02, of course.

Damn,... I am just now posting my update. Anyways,...
I finished legos windows for his rad box. These little buggers are perfect.I'll hate to see them go.
I sanded the tower don to it's dust finish. I dont know if its the light or what but it lokos like I have to do a bit more sanding on the side there.
Time to make to UV green insides. I just got down cutting a 7" wide piece off.
The piece that will go inside the tower.
I rounded the edges to save time from doing it later by hand. I will still have to round them some more but atleast the most of it is done already. I round the edges for a better fit and so that you cant see glowing edges around the object the UV green is behind.
I needed a bending surface so I decided to bend this sheet metal over the edge of the table. After I was done I realized that it wasnt long enough for the piece I was bending. I can see still use it for bending other pieces. I just kept hitting it with a hammer. I clamped a board to the top of the sheet to keep it straight and to keep the metal from bowing up.
Well,... seeing that I cant use the sheet metal I have no choice but to use the edge of the table. Which is fine. Here I am sanding down the table so it's smooth and clean. This orbital sander has to be one of my favorite tools. It's does such a good job!
Look how clean and smooth!
A closer look.
Closer.
Another sh,... what the?
*KACHING*
SO,................ you think having my balls cut off is funny ehhhhhh? Well, I'm going to cut yours off!
SpongeBob, chill out. I didnt think is was THAT funny.
Nooooooooooooooo,... you thought it was funny! Off with your balls!

RRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
*SWISH*
*THUD!*
AaAaaAAAa,... man.

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
*WHHAAAAMM!!!!*
WAAAAaaaAAAAAaAAAAAAAaaaaAA!
WAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
HO SHI!!!! PLANKTON!!!! SPONGEBOB WHATDAFU!!!!!!!!!!
Plankton? PLANKTON!
Dude,... you friggin nailed him to my newly sanded table you idiot!!
DAMNIT!!! How do I get him off! Get him off! I cant believe hes dead!!! You BASTARD!!!
Here I scratched a line which I will use to line up the piece with the table so my bend is straight. I will be sanding these inner pieces so the scrathced line doesnt really matter.
I came across a problem after I bent the piece. I didnt take any pics after the last one I showed you because of this. I will show you the problem when I get home and how I plan on solving this little problem. I came up with a solution while taking a crap on the toilette:) When you are stuck on something and cant figure it out,... go take a ****:) Peace.
hahahahah
Now isn't the problem you have, the reason you would use a piece of metal to bend the plexi??
Or was it the ex-lax cookies?
ok... internet violence! yeah! i love the show! "what will happen next to our hero?!" hihi... and the philosophy.. i strictly abide to that... i also solve problems like that... i used to anyway, when i did maths in school :))
ive been lurking for long enough!!! Time to come out :p
Tribal, i think im in love with u and ur ideas, i stumbled across this site a little while ago and have been reading and following this new venture of yours, and im blown away... infact, im blown away by everyones creations on here so far.
The thing is, i havent been high into computers and stuff, except for the last couple of years, so i probably dont know half the stuff you guys do, but im learning rapidly. I would love to be just a fraction as talented as you tribal... that would make my day :D
Anyhoo... one day soon, (Next year or so) i will be getting one of my ultimate dream cars (Im more of a car fanatic than a computer fanatic), but what i will be hoping to do is amalgamate the 2.... Fast & the Furious meets Best Case Scenario!!!! Like i say, if i can become even a fraction as talented as you Tribal, im laughing :) it should be fun, and i will log it all right here.
PS. I will more than likely also be asking you guys for a lot of advice and help too ;)
PPS. Cant wait for further updates of this awesome project.... You are truly an inspiration.
Thanks dude:) What kinda of car you getting? My ULLLLLTIMATE car is a Porsche 951:) GAWD I LOVE THAT CAR.Quote:
