Great concept , I love it !!!!!
Great execution so far !!

Great so far , soooo clean and beauty , I will follow this project closely

Some projects need to "sleep" for some time to grow , or for mutate and gain energy , It happend to me very often .
Projects have their own life and we must respect it , don´t worry

Keep going with the vacuum forming pieces , both side panels done.
Preparing for copy the main side panel piece , the more complicated

Good for me

A couple of images with different points of view to evaluate the quality result

All the pieces together as a preview

Next the top panel and start painting the pieces .

Thanks Benny !!!!

New updates

After a lot of fails , material and different process test`s , finally I get some good results.
Stop wood work and try something else

Real use of the wood pieces , vaccum forming

cut of the single pieces

I choose to make the pieces one-by-one because all of the fail was trying to make entire panels , it can be done , but I don't like the quality of the results

Preview , I hope to get better quality in the final pieces

To make this pieces , I have to build my own home-made vacuum forming machine , that explain the lack of updates

Thanks ToolKid

More pieces using the same materials and techniques , this time for the top of the case

Drawing

Cut

Edges cut in angle

Finish using rotary tool and sand paper by hand

Some pictures in different points of view of a case-top preview

More pieces made in MDF , this time in 5mm of thickness

Pieces glued in place

I worked on them to make the edges rounded

All the pieces together , this is for the fans of the top of the case

Same for the side panel

Complete side panel preview , with this new pieces , I can have 3 different highs , to make it look less flat than before

More pieces for the side panels , almost done

Rigth

Totally agree, but when I go to the photography session the hardware must be there , but no.

This time wasn't a competition , this mod was an ordered in advance specially for this collection

First post updated !!!

Thanks to you Benny

Intro
In this project the main idea was to mod an Armor A30 into a toolbox , as the name says
Two features of a toolbox was chosen to be the most important of this work , the cover and and extractable plate that most of the toolbox have.
The design was made in a way that the cover can be open and the extractable plate can be moved to the outside position even with the PC turned on , there's no need to turn it off or unplug cables to operate it.

Renders 3D of Toolbox

.

The quality is no so good but is just for planification

An interview that they made me in this magazine.

Benny , I mentioned you as one of my big influences , I hope that won't bother you

Thanks Benny , Yes , it's really hard to make a good design , the nannosuite is very complex and look great , I just try to fimplify the concept y take some lines of the design

Toolbox is a project that I realize last year , to take part in a collection of extreme hardware that came with a computer magazine that is sell in several countries of Latin America
The number 29 of this collection is completely dedicated to the developing of this mod and available in 28/2/2012 , before this day , I can't post images or worklog , for obvious reasons

Here is the cover

After the release I will post an exclusive image gallery ( a professional photographer take the pictures for the publication , but I don't like the pictures he made)

Gallery

I know that some hardware is missing , but this is what they gave me to the foto session

Hi , I'm here with my new project Hi-Tek armoured case
Is a Thematic mod , inspired in games like Crysis 2 and MGS 4 , the main
idea is to develop a computer armoured with the technology of
nannosuite 2 and Snake armoursuite

Let's start with the side panel design (basic)

I made this pieces in MDF (1/2 inch) to get the desire shape

First the cuts

Every piece must be worked manually to get it into shape

Example

More pieces

Panoramic view of the working area and tools used

Half-side panel done , three picture of different angles

Pieces of the two side panel (it will be symmetrical) confronted to compare

A simple video of the process

Thx Benny , try it , this was my first intent and works very well .
The material is a plastic sheet that I buy in a school articles shop , ACETATE says the translator that is called

Hi , I join in a Mouse mod competition , I will be posting the progress of my proyect.

Some victims

I wan't a fat butt mouse , so I start to work in it
Adding a piece of a plastic capsule (kinder egg =D )

That's the space I gain into the mouse

Adding putty

After sanding

To copy this model , I build a homemade "thermoforming machine"

Some images of the first one

Some extra copies and the lower part to work with it and make adjustments

A preview

Thx

Too many people tell me that I must paint the dvd drive , I will think about it , but I like it white as the rest of the details of the mod.
Next step , reproduce it in fiber glass and white sleeving , the visible parts of the aluminium chassis , the dvd rack and the mothertray must be painted in white too.

I keep all the mod red without stripes and drawings because I running out of time in a tournament and I don't want the typical ' 2 white stripes dodge viper style' , I want something different.

The main concept of this project was made a scratch build mod with all the basics of modding (big side window , front and bottom blowhole , rear and top fan's extracting hot air) , but introducing a new concept of build and functionality (new at least for me)
This case is a concept prototype of hibrid chassis , made of aluminium and fiberglass (aluminium and MDF in this beta version) , where there is just one modular unit , the only removable piece is the acrylic side panel and 2 fan covers (no front cover , no top cover , no side panels)

The main challenge with this proyect was the planificacion to make this functionality work , for that I include extractable pieces (HDD rack , mothertray , front control panel) , and a routing system for the cable management to make it reach all the case

This is the 3d-render that I made as a model in the beginning

Here the final pictures of the job done , I hope you like it

PD : I notice that the reaf fan is in the wrong position after the photo session , , I already turn it to the rigth position
