    not now file the imperfections due to the cut, and you're done.

    [​IMG]

    I used three fans ENERMAX TBVEGAS DUO, are a real spectacle.
    do not look at these screws, the work is finished the other will replace it with another color.

    [​IMG]

    I also placed in the structure of the LEDs to light pink petals.
    as you can see it is a single block and removable at any time.
    and now insert the whole structure in the large ...

    various angles.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    nascondiamo nei vari condotti i cavi delle ventole e dei led.
    avremo modo più avanti di parlare anche di tutto l'impianto elettrico del mahatma che ha richiesto 20 mt di cavi alettrici.
    in questo modding non vedrete mai un cavo esposto,tutto è stato nascosto.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    first lighting of the leds on the front ...
    and with the last picture I only understood as will be the final result of the upper part, which in this case is completely lit.
    find out this part only in the final.

    [​IMG]

    I'm putting together a very special modding alive originality even in modding even if you do not like anyone:rock:

    small up then I stop for a while ... I have to go on the WL at least until the beginning of October
    For the interior of mahatma I wanted a liquid cooling system unique, something elegant, and possibly original, and that's part of the result.

    [​IMG]

    The technique that I had chosen for this modding is reflected in much of the structure, giving it a style living, but at the same time chic.

    [​IMG]

    small aluminum sections are used to cover the led strips, and to scale perfectly on the rectangles in plex.

    [​IMG]

    and here's our beautiful waterfall located inside of plex.

    [​IMG]

    in the three tubes plex transparent flow of liquid violet uv.
    this effect you will see it at the end.
    the final part of mahatma and a little bit special, stay tuned as I make them laugh I do ... Namaste bit-tech:rock:

    This is really unique stuff, nice craftmanship, too.

    Will those "leaves" unfold to the sides, too? Instead of just going straight up I mean. :)

    prepare the brackets to tilt the petals.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    I used a section "L" that I put in a vice to turn it into a "V" (excuse the turn of phrase), and thus give the desired angle.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    the screws to anchor bracket to this structure are not noticed

    and here are some photos that show the best angle that I have given to the various petals.

    front mounted with all the petals, OM and engraving on the front ...

    next time we will talk about a variety of games of lights and shadows that the petals should reflect, here is a preview ...:rock:

    this time I will begin to show the various lighting effects of the petals of the lotus.
    of course, still everything must be finished as I say, these pictures are just a glimpse, the true face of the Mahatma will only see in Lucca, and only after there will be the final photo.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    lights and shadows blend perfectly, creating striking effects on the entire structure in plex.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]
    LEDs placed strategically within the lotus do his part, casting shadows to 360 degrees, and we're only talking about the top

    rain effect with the large tank.
    initially (as you know) I wanted to use the lavalamp effect in the tank,
    but the effect did not like it at all, and that would unnecessarily burden the structure too heated throughout the interior.
    I also wanted to change the tank, in this way it integrates perfectly with the lines of the lotus.
