Scratch Build – In Progress *** PHINIX NANO TOWER *** --- MOTY 2011 nomination !!!

As I promised, here are few photos, some of my favourites from last work. I'm a bit tired and don't have access to my pc, so they don't have watermark yet. Will fix it later.

First, my favourite - acrylic combs in a nice pose




...and in the darkness...




Here is the Nano Tower during "the glueing procedure"




Two done, two to go... mounting ready combs on the Tower...
Looking pretty in that light...




And here is almost all aluminium pieces, Nano Tower in parts, flat packing time









Last photo for today - GUESS! What part of Nano Tower that is?!

 

Don't know what part it is, but I just joined all the holes together dot to dot style and made a cow

Oh, and I forgot to say it's looking bloody good, I like the look of those combs...Nice work

 

Its looking very professional

 

Get it painted alright

 

Shwweeetness! Final photo of bare naked lady

 

You gotta love that colour scheme - you just gotta do it... DO IT!

 

Those combs are an excellent piece of detail, very well made as well I'd like to add .

 

Onboard cheese grater ?

Stunning work Mike

 

HAHA Cow?! I have to try and see
Thanks mate!

Thanks mate!

Thanks guys!

Thanks, I spent a lot of time on measuring and aligning them, then glueing together. I have to say they look really nice and I'm surprised they all aligned really good.

Hey! Mark! Thanks my friend! I'm glad you like it.
Oh, and you are close! Second purpose of this IS a cheese grater

I will give a hint tonight with more photos

 

God I flippin' love this case. Awesome work.

 

Im excited

 

One of the best builds period!

 

Thanks guys!!!

OK, here is the answer
It is front panel! Yes, looks like a grater, I know - these are all holes for leds that will come behind it.
Here's how it looks...





It will be covered with acrylic and then this top aluminium piece with cut out name.
On Friday I will add rest of the photos, that will show all the latest work and more details.

So, please stay tuned !!!

 

Haha i never even thought of that +rep mate! Cant wait to see it lit up!

 

holy s***.... all of those are gunna be filled with LEDS? Now I know where to put my solar panels

 

Yeah, it does seem a bit overkill and the pattern the holes are drilled in, baffles me. Eager to see this idea take shape.

 

The whole build has been slow, but extremely professional. Phinix you have everyone on the edge of their seats. Chears

 

Thanks p0Pe! It will look nice, I hope, but there is a lot of soldering to do

Yep! Turn them all to Glasgow I'm the reason why they want to build new nuclear power plant near here

It looks like an overkill, but it will be fine. It won't look like a Christmas tree, I promise!
Pattern is a bit weird, it's because I will use SMD led strips, smalest piece will ahve 3 leds, that is why they look a bit uneven, I have photos showing it all with leds, will add them soon, Friday I think. That should put some light on the whole thing... A lot of light I say!

Thank you very much! Its great to see you guys like this build same as I do. Thanks for your support and stay tuned!

 

Good job! For a scot that's amazing! (joking )

Looking forwards to seeing this finished. Hope you made a reference on how to put that big pile of bits back together.

 

I'm not a scot, but i believe that would be amazing for one (also joking )

Yep, I have it all in my head, each piece is unique so putting all togheter is pretty straight forward. It has to, after all that time spent on desinging it and makeing all these pieces, you remember it all.
