    Thanks guys!

    Coming back to the this mod, I'm chipping away at the wiring but not very much interesting to show for my efforts. I will show you this though. The external tubing, that's routed on the exterior was originally planned to be acid green.

    And I was planning to use this copper wire sleeving but the Bitspower fittings are 3/8-5/8 so this sleeving is too small.
    [​IMG]

    So the search for replacement sleeving has been underway. This stuff is decent but is fairly light weight and doesn't offer any tubing protection.

    This stuff is braided copper sleeving, its heavy weight and offers significant protection. Tubing really can't collapse with this on it. Its made for phase change overclockers to keep their tubing from rupturing.

    So which do you think looks better? The lightweight stuff or

    The heavyweight sleeving?

    Sketchup really doesn't picture it well but you get the idea where it's going.

    And while I'm asking, this is the back of subject Delta from Bioshock 2. He's the main protagonist in the game. On the back of his suit are 2 reservoirs of fluid with red and blue colored liquid which set me to thinking.

    What about blue and red instead of green?

    Let me know what you think. I'm leaning towards the heavyweight (more functional) but could go either way on the colors. I plan to spend Saturday modding so I'll have some more for you soon. Especially if my kiln arrives ;).

    Many thanks to my sponsors!

    The lightweight is so lightweight it's hard to see at all :) With the heavyweight the colour is peeking through the gaps, making it far more interesting.

    I vote for heavyweight as well. If you do go with lightweight though I'd say the green looks best with it.

    Definitely awesome, mate.

    If you go with blue and red, definitely heavyweight, since you don't see much of the lightweight sleeving over the red tubing.

    Moreover, I don't find the green tube + lightweight much good, so heavyweight is a win.

    For the green vs. blue+red, b+r seems nicer, but I would be afraid of overloading the colour scheme.
    Fortunately, the choice lies in wiser hands than mine.

    PS : English isn't my native language, so be indulgent.

    This is looking amazing I can't believe your attention to detail. Looking forward to seeing more.

    About the side note of radioactive glass. Those crazy victorians.

    Heavyweight and green. Is there any way to sneak a light into the reservoir so you get some bleed through the tubes, (or did you already do it and I forgot?)
