Scratch Build – In Progress Project : Synthetica by AnG3L (Selling most of my parts)

I am afraid that this is impossible for me bro as I might have time after September!!

Nice to see that we have common interests I would love to see your work one day brother!!
Thanks for your support and kind words much appreciated!!!

 

Update time guys! After 6 days of exhausting work I am here to present you the results so far.

The most difficult part of the case was the interior. None of the available tools could help me so I had to sand all of it by hand! I wanted to cover the fibarglass edges and create a very smooth surface. That required many many layers of body filler and extremely difficult sanding.

Here is the first layer of isopon and sanding.





After a suggestion in the forums by a friend (thanks man) I created some Rondo! This is a mixture with isopon (body filler) with resin. That way you create a very smooth and more "liquid" material in order to apply it with a brush or just by pouring it and shake it around.

I used that technique to apply 6 layers (yeah I am crazy) of rondo in order to create a balanced and smooth surface and also add some thickness on the inside, to create a 3d effect on the neuron ventilation system as you are about to see later on this update.





After 4 days of work I managed to finish the interior!!





After I finished the interior I start working on the front part of the ventilation system.
The process its the same, filling, sanding etc etc until I had a satisfying result.
I had to use the dremel too though as I couldnt work only by hand.



Second layer of isopon.









Second time sanding.







As you can see I found a soft spot so more filling and sanding!!! OMG! That thing happened to me a gazillion times with this mod!!!



So after more filling and sanding I finished those pieces.



As you see I ve worked my way with isopon in a way that the ventilation system has a really nice flaw with the rest of the case.





Next step was drawing the design on the fiberglass. Due to the strange and unorthodox design of my vents I am using Zaha's design as a guide and I will create something similar yet with my own "artistic" touch too.











I also finished the last vent.





The following part drove my crazy!!! The discs on the dremel werent big enough to cut so I tried a thousand ways to cut the holes but eventually I managed to somehow route the holes by using a dremel bit for engraving. The proble was the depth of the vents as I wanted to have a 3d effect extending in the interior of the case.



And here are some shots after 4 hours of filing. This is not the final thing as I will come back later for the details.











Thanks for reading my update guys! The next update is going to be delayed as I have a loooooot of work so please be patient! Till next time, peace!

 

DaVinci go home!

This is just... Mindblowing!!!

The coolest thing about this mod is that I STILL have no idea where this is going!

SO much work, and there is no doubt it's paying off! You sir, are a genious! My hat off to you!

 

Wow what a nice comment!! My friend thank you so much!! I told my self to give 1000 percent of my skills and patience and I didnt count that amount of work lolz. My hands hate me for sure lol! Thanks again brother, much appreciated!!!

 

You are too patient, my friend. I would have thrown the thing across the room long, long ago.

 

I am indeed bro, life taught me to be, but I am patient with the things I love only!!

 

Very tough job, but SO worth it Alex! That looks bloody fantastic.

 

Looking really GREAT!!!! I concur, you got a Da Vinci skill going on. Mod On my friend

 

Zaha may have had the vent idea, but Alex does them right too! His way.

I watch.

That is just mindblowing man... Absolutely incredible!

No need for troll pics this time, just, wow...

 

OMG what more can you say about this :O

 

Yet again, words fail me

 

I just can't stop staring at the pics of this thing. It has so many curves and I'm trying to imagine what it will look like finished. I know it's going to be really awesome for sure.

Looking great.

 

This is one of the most beatiful case designs I've seen, can't wait to see it finished.

*subscribes to thread*

 

Loving the organic feel of this Alex, and the vent areas only serve to enhance that feeling. Great job!

 

very organic looking, well done

 

Oh WOW

The neuron vents came out brillantly Ang3l it could have easily been messed up, broken and ineffective...but that is defiantely not the case

The neurons look like they are a seamless part of the case mate welll F^$#^n g done rep for that post too

 

Way too awesome

 

Tough job indeed bro! Thanks Kid!

Thanks my friend, more Da Vinci to follow lolz

Thanks John much appreciated, I always try to go my best!!

LoL thanks for that bro, hopefully I will keep it that way so you wont need to troll again lolz

Welcome aboard my friend and thanks for your kind words!!!!
