Sofia (completed build)

Hi all.

Project Sofia came to light one day when I was watching Sofia The First on tv with my 4 year old daughter.
One of those grab a coffee and chill for 5 minute times.
I was already in talks with Antec uk on a project,myself and my fiancée own a few antec cases.media centre and my personal build.
Whilst watching the kids show with my daughter,the colour theme and build came to life.
Something small,clean lines,elegant, like Sofia in the tv show,and it had to have a wow factor on the colour scheme.
So I passed my plans on to Antec,and the green light was given.

Thanks buddy.im ok at painting,but this is out of my realm.so I'm calling on my paint guru to wave his magic spray gun.he works with candy's and flake all the time.

IN, because purple!!

It had to be purple on this build,Sofia's colours are lighter in the tv show,so went darker so the metal flake can pop out more

 

[AlienALX]

Oh wow that metallic purple is going to look boss !

Looking forward to this

My paint guru kevin is great at laying these types of paint down,he does high end custom choppers.

Just waiting on the delivery of the paint from House of Kolor.
Not cheap.........

Ooooo HOK? you have my attention ! it's amazing. Their clear is like liquid glass.

Done loads of jobs with HOK, even more excited to see this now.

Yeah, not cheap either. I remember thinking "Hey, maybe I will paint my car chameleon purple to blue" and then saw the price, $569 per quart. I would have needed at least three to four quarts. Then the black base coat, then the clear.

Aye, sod them apples it got raspberry pearls instead

SOFIA UPDATE:-

Well Sofia is ready for paint,just waiting on the paint from House Of Kolor.
Myself and my lady done some testing with the pump and res yesterday,and both of us were mesmerised by the fluid running through the #alphacool plexi pump block.
So we put our heads together and thought why not show the top of the block off.
A little measuring and dremmel action,and it was done.
I will raise the block by 24mm,this will give me the affect I want.
Why hide something away that looks cool and adds more colour to the finished build.
All measurements are done for the acrylic work,and all fits perfectly like a glove.

Hi all
Sorry the updates have been thin on the ground.
It's taken a while to get the case to paint,well for them to fit it in their busy schedules.
A lot of prep went into getting all the parts to the perfection that John wanted.
But today we finally got the base coats down on the chassis and exterior panels.and on the Alphacool radiator casings.
The chassis has had a white base coat,next is the candy white and then a clear high gloss show lacquer.
The exterior panels have had the custom mixed purple base coat,next it's the custom purple candy.then it's the high gloss show lacquer with a little metal flake.
Here's a few pictures

 

[Bartacus]

That's really purple. I like purple.

 

[ADmodz]

That's really purple. I like purple.

Thanks,so does my daughter and fiancé lol

 

[Wraith]

Nice! Love the contrast between the purple exterior and white internals, it really does pop looking forward to seeing more.

Thank you
Yes I agree,the white is a candy white.it has to have a gloss lacquer coat yet.
So it will pop more when done.
The fluid for the loop has been made by mick at Mayhems Solutions.
It's a clear purple,like grape juice lol

nice looking so far cant wait to see more.

keep a sharp eye on that VPP755 I have had both the rev 1 and rev 2 pumps the rev 1 the plastic clip retaining the impeller kept popping off causing a grinding sound the rev 2 would sometimes require several power ons to get it pumping. I since gave up on it and went back to a D5 which is a shame its an awesome pump (VPP755) super powerful and quiet.
