    :confused:After seeing that, I'm not sure if it's a case mod or a scratch build.

    But, hey! Paslis build!:D

    @Silicon - Check the dates.:(
    @Icelander - If there's another dude hanging out in the Netherlands named Pascal with this level of fabrication power that helps other pro modders frequently, I haven't seen him.
