Overview / Usage

**This build was done to showcase the versatility of the new Hyte Revolt 3 and my take on the Cyberpunk 2077 theme. My favourite aspects of PC mods is painting , props and liquid cooling so those were the 3 areas I focused on, with a large portion of my time spent on the 3D printed and painted revolver prop for the build.

**My main audience’s throughout this project were on Instagram, Twitter as well as YouTube, where I made 4 videos surrounding the project from unboxing the parts, to final footage shots as well as gameplay and performance capture. **

Methodology / Approach

**Initially I had done up a sketch on paper for the build that I tried to follow as my blueprint.
**

The first piece that I worked on was the 3D printed revolver because I wanted it to be the centre piece so I felt it had to be done first so I’d know how to scale everything else with the build. I did make a few mistakes and ended up having to print all the parts for the revolver twice, but the second one turned out nice and I moved forward from there and painted the revolver by hand like a model.

**With the revolver done I went ahead and prepped and cut the panels, sanding them down and using my handy panel snips from mnpctech.com to cut the channel out of the gpu panel that I wanted some additional lighting to come through. Once the panels were cut and primed I painted them with graffiti cans first and did the details with my airbrush followed by a detail paintbrush last. **

**The final pieces of the puzzle where to make the leather strap that holds the revolver to the case, and for this I had to pick up a few tools and actually learn how people put snaps on leather, which was kind of neat to learn and worked well. I then installed the screen which I had to cut a channel for the wires out of the bottom of the case to allow everything to fit nicely and close. **
