    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)

    [​IMG]

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


    First the cuts

    [​IMG]

    Every piece must be worked manually to get it into shape

    Example

    [​IMG]



    More pieces

    [​IMG]

    Panoramic view of the working area [​IMG]and tools used

    [​IMG]

    Half-side panel done , three picture of different angles

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

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

    [​IMG]

    A simple video of the process

    Typo. I hate my keyboard. It's only 25 years old.

    I'm having fun watching you put this together. That should work better than what I posted the last time.
