After the Halloween debauchery and the lingering sugar high induced by the over consumption of Kit Kats and candy corn,
I got around to swapping out the shining silver BP fittings off the motherboard for the contents of a package I finally received -
black BP fittings!
In keeping with the name of the build, the newly installed fittings looks to be a perfect fit to this crazy thing I call the Black Freighter.
Pardon this little back tracking, but I just wanted to share some pics I managed to take despite the army of little ghosts, monsters, and Disney characters knocking on my door and asking for candy.
Tubes will lead to the bottom panel of the hull:
This is a picture of something:
So is this:
This one is also a picture but it's kinda different from the one shown above:
This is my favorite picture:
No wait. This one is:
Wait. My favorite pic would have to be on page 3 of this build log.
Yeah. I like that one a lot.
I can smell something taking shape. I'll carry my camera in case it happens without warning.
Cheers all and thanks for checking in!

The black compressions are.. definitely going to pick some up for my next build.
Also love the color of the blue and black tubing.. mind me asking what type of tubing that is?
Dam them fittings are smoking hot, May i ask, as i haven't seen it though the thread. Who makes that mighty fine looking Blue hose? May have to email said company.
Some of the most amazing pics I've yet to see. The tubing+fittings look incredible.
Cheers, CharlesHope you had an awesome Halloween!
Heyas Weevil! Yes, I must admit there does seem to be a Brown Chicken Brown Cow feeling to them.
Thanks, MT! Truly appreciative of your support thoughout.
Hey Mas, Weevil had my back in my absence. He provided the correct url for you on his second post. More stores should carry them soon.
Thanks for your kind feedback, anubis! I dig your avatar.
Thanks, dro! Glad to help out.
Heyas Tox. Make the plunge to watercooling yet?
LOL. I buy shoes like you buy radiators. You think there's enough credit card limits in the world to be able to handle us?
Even in your silence, aka_GK, your continued support is very much appreciated!
Will do, Winston. I have a HUGE surprise coming up in the next few updates. We're talking MONSTROUS. I CANNOT wait to share.
Ok. I have nothing. But I'll think of something. Heh.
Don't mind at all, jpm. I am using Primochill Pro LRT 1/2” ID 3/4” OD for this build. Excellent quality and is less resistant to kinking compared to other tubing.
Heyas Bent. See aboveI noticed that there is a bit of difference in the shade of blue between sizes of the tubing. the 5/8" seems to be more purplish blue than the 1/2".
Maybe I'll take a pic showing the two later tonight.
Very much appreciate the kind feedback, Liderc!
Thanks for all the supportive comments all!
I intend to post shots of the innards of the case hopefully tonight.
Until then, "eat your cereal with a fork and do your homework in the dark".

top notch photos and tubing and... well just about everything! wow those fittings are absolutely amazing and mind-boggling beyond belief. I cannot wait to see the entire project completed...

I'm feeling a little loopy tonight and have as much energy as a small citrus fruit on sedatives (whatever that means).
So please pardon my barely comprehendible writing.
I'm currently negotiating a few things in the hull - length of tubes, placement of res's, thickness of acrylic, type of screws, length of cables, amount of guacamole, etc.
all to see if its actually possible to turn the visual I have in my head and a few back-of-the-napkin chicken scratches into some kind of visually appealing reality.
ATM, my main concern is the routing of tubes. The challenge is to make it as short as possible while being aesthetically pleasing.
Not easy for me.
No.
Sir.
Ree.
Bob.
But (big but here), I'm having a blast and I'm learning a lot. Which was my intent of the build at the outset.
After I've accomplished that feat, the whole thing is to be ripped down and reassembled after the powder coating situation.
Just a few cuts here, and a few holes there, a threaded screw hole there, a big pillow and a soft bed here.
You could say there are holes in my plans but that sounds soup sandwich (not good).
Further plans include some kind of side panel design and maybe some wresting around with an airbrush ass kickery situation.
I was inspired by a few members here to place tubing and components in a symmetrical fashion.
Kibbler, Virtual Rain, and quattro succeeded in accomplishing a symmetrical look in their respective builds while being completely different from each other.
This success inspired me to create a way to place components in a harmonious, balanced configuration.
I had a facepalming moment when I realized I'm short a couple of black compressions. More are enroute and should be remedied soon after their arrival.
After some rest, I'm hoping I will no longer string words in random order and post online. I'm hoping at least a third of the preceeding made some kind of sense.
I'm falling to the charms of my bed, but I wanted to add,
Thanks for all your feedback, folks. It's a tremendous boost and very much appreciated!
Sweet zombie jesus that looks SWEET!
