Project Marshlands: A Military Themed Build..

[keenan]

Got a bit of an update..

After debating an what would be the best color to match "Military Green" I have finally got some results!!


First I did a light basecoat..




Than a second coat and some weathering..




A quick test fit for color matching..








Remember this..?




It now looks like this..




...and this..




Final results.. Hope you guys like it..

Had some issues fitting the motherboard with the bulky top rad so I need to replace it..

I did a quick photoshoot early this morning to keep everyone entertained..













...and the twins..

Hi guys, sorry for the lack in updates, I have been ill the last few days and pretty much spent the majority of them in bed! Feeling better today and done some adjustments to the radiators and also painted the fan controller..

Thought I would do a quick assemble to see were everything's at...

Sweet build man...

Sweet build man...

Thanks Neox69

Today I refitted the bottom rad and got the cabling done. Next step is to get the copper pipe measured, cut, bent and fitted...

[Lord Brand]

Looking really great man.

Got another mysterious box in the post today..




All the way from Minneapolis .. a place called Mnpctech...




Looks like a laser cut replacement window for the Corsair Vengeance C70 case!!!!!!!








Complete with replacement grommets..




Definitely impressed by the quality of the acrylic! The holes are perfectly aligned and the finish is flawless!

Also included was a few modding "extras"














I want to give a massive thanks to Bill Owen at Mnpctech for supplying this project with this lovely replacement window and also for such an awesome guy..

[Lord Brand]

Are you going to polish the copper pipe or let it / force it to tarnish into verdigris?

Will definitely stick to the old weathered look... I think

Tiny little update for today..

Replaced the standard side window with the one from Bill at mnpctech and started on the plumbing..

Took about 5 minutes to swap and looks outstanding..






First few bends..








....and all the mishaps

[keenan]

While I'm waiting on the last of the watercooling stuff to arrive I had a go at making some sli bridges..

Definitely feeling the "less is more" feeling with this one..






Also had to move a few things around to re-position the pump under the res..




Some more photos..

[Bill Owen]

I'm blown away....love all of the meticullous detailing

[keenan]

Thanks for all the amazing comments throughout this log guys, I should have the final update coming next week..

[keenan]

Still waiting for the cooling liquid to arrive so I thought I'd keep myself busy..

Went through all the leftover bits and found just what I needed


A bit of this...




Some of this..




.....and a touch of this..




Results..

[keenan]

Last Update and this build is now finished..























Thanks for all the support and motivation from all you guys.. It's been an outstanding experience..

[Lord Brand]

Looks fantastic. Seriously good job.

As an aside, is that oil you're pumping through the loop? I'm joking of course, but the look is a clever idea/choice.

Thanks Lord Brand, it was a very enjoyable project.. and yes, of course it's oil..
