With so much realism and quality, I suggest you keep your eyes open looking for the secret agents of NASA ...

They can take your project and equipment thinking that this is a new spy satellite. :cheers:

More power Bro.

Actually, I started it in white color concept since most of the round space ship object Apollo and Soyuz has majority white color. But I could not take it, looks old senior like me of the 60's, so I tried my open spraypaints (metallic black, metallic silver, metallics red and blue) and spray here and there in one pattern, up and down in whole and streak. That's the outcome coming up like a dark silver bronze - the camera can't get the right color so far...

Many Thanks as always Sir asgneto, yes I saw 3 black Hummers here circling around the house, hahahah... I think they are more interested with my Ampalaya (bitter melon) plants ready for harvest. you are scaring me, but yes it sometimes happen!

I'm looking forward to the Ferris wheel! Kudos Master Sunny but I differ from Asgneto, it looks real aggressive, something like a intercontinental missile ICBM) destroyer than a spy satellite.

Thanks Sir PaPang, but I might jump to that ferriswheel mod eventually, as I've done already 2 of the 120mm fans as sample above, the third one was an exhaust for the PSU part unmodded. anyway, I'll make 1 mod rainbow 20 leds ferriswheel fan on my next project after this submission of entries with a CM clear fan plus step by step instructions (that one will be an excellent ferriswheel one) but we can do still with a black casefan. Hahaha, really close PaPang as I've told you defensive satellite which will retaliate if attacked by a giant OVNI forces!

Additional Update (for yesterday) coming up...

Outstanding view with the video--so much light! Beautiful!

Yes Sir PaPang, too bad to have a very low quality video...it's a sneak try.

I was trying to take a shot in the dark and I got this one last night, no editing, it's really low in light and bad camera...

Great advances Sensei sunny. I know (I think) that you wanted a little more time because, as any real modder, the final touch can always be improved and a little extra time is always welcome (10 days is not that much for some, but not that little for others).

The clip for the grill was masterful to gain access to the inside. Small but significant. Kudos! (I bet you thought no one was seeing that, heheh).

And don't worry about your camera again, it takes fine shoots and puts to shame a lot of others (including me) who have "better" cameras (mine is a cheapy tho). I learned in my forum from a member who took his photos with a cell phone camera (not very advanced and pretty inexpensive), it is not the camera equipment, it is the photographer. Great photos IMO because they are relevant, timely and precise. A conscientious modder will ALWAYS get more out of something, even if modest! And you are proof. A lot of members from my forum can learn a lot from you and your example and your great attitude. Kudos!

Just to keep up with you, I have to get my led kit fixed, see what you do to some of us? :wink:

Cheers and Saludos
