    Here is some update... i did more space in the case...

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    I did some cuts with Dremel on the inside panel, so it go inside better.

    However, during the folding, I earned 2 cm and so I cut the reservoirs panel too but the effect is not bad XD
    I'm finishing to assemble the base with the holes for the screws. Then i'll paint the inside in grey and glossy black!

    I need you! Or better, I need an advice.
    Here is the left side panel render:

    [​IMG]

    Now the question is: I must do it in laser cut, so will be "flat" or in Black Glossy plexy using the CNC for a 3D effect?

    Also I'm working on wood for create the feets and the structure of fan grills!

    This has an insane design! I, too, have been wanting to build a Star Wars themed casemod. I love the mass design integration from different aspects, i.e: The Death Star light panels, the octagonal windows from TIE fighters and the Emperor's Throne Room, now the pep mask?! Sweet! Do you have a link to the download for that mask?

    Sorry man, I've lost the link for the Dath Vader mask... I found it googling. But this is my version... is different by the original file.
    However, stay tuned because more upgrades with new interesting Star Wars elements are coming!
