I would like to take this opportunity to thank EVGA for supporting this build

The EVGA products will be used are:

EVGA Z270 STINGER

EVGA GTX 1060 SUPERCLOCKED

EVGA SUPERSC DDR4 RAM 16GB



 
 


I will be using the Coolermaster Masterair MA610P

Click the product names for more details :)


 
 


The initial sketch was uploaded earlier and here you can see the concept of the scratch build will be a big flower.


 
 


I decided to use wood as the base material because it is lightweight and strong enough to hold the parts. It also gives the natural look of the stem. I prepared a plyboard to cut into the curved shape of the stem.

I layered two ply so that it will have a rigid structure.


 
 


I wrapped the base stem with paper and coated it with resin. The purpose of this process is to create a filler inside.


 
 


I applied fiberglass and resin on top of the stem structure.


 
 


 


 
 


 


 
 


 


 
 I applied three times so that it will not be easily damaged.


 

I used r10-10 for the final coating.

 

 For the last process of the fabrication, I used a body filler.


 
 


 


 
 


 

For the very details, I used air dry clay and epoxy clay to achieve my desired result. I sculpted it for days to have the same look on my sketch.


 
 


The swivel is installed above the stem structure


 
 


 


 
 


 

 

 

I used an old itx case for the motherboard tray. I measure the psu so that it will fit correctly. I also used wood to support the tray, because it is lightweight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 


I primed the stem structure. I hand-painted the stem to have a natural-looking effect.


 
 


I used acrylic paint for the line detailing and sprayed some clear lacquer on it.


 
 


 

 

 


 
 


 

 

 

 

The stem structure is almost done, I will be adding some weathered accents. I picked this color scheme to match the CMWS 2018 color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used acrylic sheets as my main material for the petals. It is easy to work on specially using scroll saw.


 
 


 


 
 


Bending of the petals using acrylic bender.


 
 


 


 
 


I used heatgun to bend the curved form of the petals.


 
 


I used my cutter plotter to cut vinyl stickers for the decals


 
 


Priming of the petals.


 
 


 


 
 


Peel time


 
 


Assembly of the pc itself. I also tested the leds if it's working


 
 Assembly is done and it's time to take pictures for my final submission.
