Side Panel 1.
Side Blades
To keep "intheme with the rest of the mod, ive decided to balance the case up with some "side blades" Again! these are hand sanded from single strips of 8mm thick clear plex.
The idea will be to add the blades to to fit in with the cut panel.
As seen here, i really like that way the cut shapes fit in with the overall look of the case.
The only prob is that the case looks "unbalanced" remember theres w whopping great 2 ltr tank sitting off the other side of the case... to leave this side "Flat" would make the case look unbalanced.
Not wanting to turn this side of the case into just another "bondo" moulded panel, i thought to work a look that would fit in and give me the "balance" im looking for.
Long winded sorry....but ive been thinking about this for 2 months now
HP3 with the ex hp2 side panel
The idea is pretty simple shape this peice of plex into a thinner blade.
the peice is "sliced " in half length ways.
after 20mins of initial sending the 4 blades are in ruff form.
2 hours later the blades are in almost final form.
The purple panel is sanded and re-spray putty'd and the Blades are layed on for a look.
The blades will have no "active" lighting at all...the idea is the light from within the case will be caught on the blades top edges providing the light needed to to achive the end effect.
