C0LLARD Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Hi, My name : Carl Collard / Mods Art PC Job : EO Tech in the Canadian Army Gender : M country : Age : 42 Kids : 4 Builds : 4 CMWS history : 0 CMWS22 : 1 Sponsor : 0 Build name : Hope Lantern Why Hope Lantern? Sometime, hope needs light to shine. Hope about what? Life on earth Hope for what? Mankind enlightenment. Why this hope? Climat change impacts on earth's ecosystem Why the lantern? To help us see it. Why oil? For many generations, oil lanterns were used to lit and heat houses. Why water? All life on earth rely on this molecule. Why oil on water? Oil is the remain of water life forms from hundred of millions years ago. Why use glass? Like every life; extremely fragile and beatifull. Why use old rads? Things from ~ 80 years ago were nice looking and made to last long. Why PC mod it? IA is a new life form. And... What IA would think about life? Then... IA: "Did you know that if gravity would be slightly more powerfull, the universe would collapse into a ball? Also, if gravity would be slightly less powerfull, the universe would fly apart and there wouldn't be stars or planets. The gravity is just precisely as strong as it needs to be. If relation with the électromagnetic force and strong force was less by 1%, life wouldn't exist. What are the ods that all that happen by itself?" IA citation source: https://youtu.be/3qGXdw4mG70 ‐---------------------------------------- Description : For this mod, I chose the lantern theme because this is a nice looking object where lightning is the purpose. I lot of nice things can be done with light like refraction, reflexion and diffraction. The way it act when it pass from a material to another is facinating. And the visible spectrum of light let us see our beatifull word.

C0LLARD Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 Mods that heater! The top part of the old Harrison heater just needs few shape mods to let the radipumps module fits in: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0LLARD Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 Painting time ! For the paint, I found a special color switch purple-blue for the case itself, except for the top grid and nametag plate, who are purple-green. I really like that paint!

C0LLARD Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 Build up Hope: PSU Now the fun begins! Lets see if everything fits together... The bottom pars is where the power supply is. This is also Hope's air intake, so, it needs a mesh to filter the dust and give that nice look. For that, I used a 10" pasta mesh from the dollars store and I cuted + glued it with epoxy at the bottom. This Seasonic 750w Platinum PSU had to be modified in mani ways to be safe, size fit and functional here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
