Some minor updates. Woke up really late today so didn't do much and was running around town last 2 days.

Testing testing...

Left Panel Part I

Epitome of laziness.. not done drilling yet. Probably will finish drilling tomorrow and start cutting out one of them first. I think I screwed up one of the holes near the edge of one of them.

Neck-Chest Part III

Just patched them together 2 nights ago and inserted wires into one of the tubes. The push kinda broke the neck and glued it back just now while waiting for the drill to cool.

Thats all now. Very hungry. Time to eat.

LOL looking great mate. Love that last pic haha.

[DonT-FeaR]

[Acey]

Haha, thanks. Been cutting for 4 hours now. My back is breaking. Made some alteration to the side panel design cos some part.. well, my royal noobness of dremel just cant reach those places.

Some mixed updates. Worn out from workin on it for 5 continuous hours yesterday. Snapped the neck again after attaching it cos don't really like how the LEDs are sitting in the head. The eyes are from this extra piece. Cut and snapped off and then filed the edge. Inserted the eyes into the sockets from the inside.

Test wiring the LEDs. Wired 4 into the head, the plan was a 2 live and 2 backups as mentioned before but 4 gives a better glow so have to go get more LEDs tomorrow and redo the wires. Thanks to rendermandan and froop for the guides.

Almost finished cutting one side of the alupanel for the left panel (bottom). Been working like 10 hours on it for the past 3 days and now halfway into the other half.

Not smooth at all, I think I need to have my balls reattached when it comes to using the dremel after almost a year of not touching it. But I got other plans for the cut out once its done :naughty: Doesn't seem to fit the theme so... paper will come in again.


As for the HDD rack that will go on top of the case, these will hold the HDD onto the top panel.

Just lined and cut out the required plexi for the enclosure but haven't start splitting them. Square "C" shaped that will enclose the HDD from both sides separately. 8 pieces will be used (4th piece at the back of the 3), about 5-6cm tall including the separator when its done. Yet to cut out the fan bracket for the top piece.

Too much time on hand while waiting for both my drill and dremel to cool so did a little mod on the workbench.

Lol. Just to hang the dremel whenever I stop cutting. Alrite, thats all for now, gotta start the cuttings for today.

Looking really good mate, the eyes look sweet. The Dremel holder is a good idea.

Those eyes look wicked.
