Haven't done much of an update in a while so here it goes:
Started the wiring and got my Makita power bracket added. I change some of the components that are screen accurate so I can have a more user friendly power system
I then mounted the splitless loom to run the wires...
Last but not least I added the mobo padding and danger sticker. Should I leave the sticker centered and covering the vent holes for the speaker or orient it away?
Little update:
Fixed the zip ties on the ribbon cable.
I then drilled a hole on the mobo to run wires through to my Makita power bracket. I then added a rubber grommet to make sure the wires stay protected against the aluminum.
I then got my powercell bracket riveted on and powercell...
Thank you for the kind words war. I will let the weathering happen naturally with some assistance which ill show in future pics. I will also be clipping the resistor. Thank you for the support!
Big update:
The shell is pretty much finished now. All the tubing is now attached and I got most of the labels added.
But let's not get ahead, I first took my old ph-25 off and replaced it with one without the disc on top. I didn't know I had one and going through my old parts from my first...
Thanks nick. Your comments really mean a lot to me. Unfortunately I epoxied the ion cap on. Stupid me. Trust me looking at it I've already figured I messed it up. I was thinking of buying an airbrush and tape everything off around it and try to weather it again properly. Just don't know how that...
Wow thanks for the amazing words guys. Especially you filandrius. Your builds have been an absolute God sent to my build. I've studied your build since my first pack. It means a lot to have you stop by and give me that comment! Thanks phish, that clippard tubing I actually got from you quite...
I take offense to you calling it tarnished. What the hell is that supposed to mean? You may think my build isn't up to par anymore but I'm incredibly happy with how my build has gone.
Damn Alex glad to see you over here! I've watched your videos numerous times and it helped me on my build! Well done sir. Vinny how I love when that Italian side comes out in you. Your def my paesano!
I'd love to see a video of your pack! My gun is a full freekygeeky kit. I don't think I'm going to twist my barrel just for the reason of I don't want to ruin the light kit. I waited so long for my r2devo kit that I'd hate for something to go wrong with it. I want to get a Vinny gun kit, build...
Somebody was selling the genuine clippard tubing on GBFans a while back and I saved it for this kind I build. I also have to switch the ph-25 to one without the disc on top, still waiting to get that. I appreciate the kind words!
Why are you worried about taking the ion arm off?
Update time. Finished painting all the parts and shell. Finally for my speakers in so I began mounting them to the mobo in preparation for paint. The 1/2 spacers where to large so I went to 1/4 spacers and they worked great. I also made to brackets to hole my perf board to house my electronics...
