Tried to get a couple pictures that I was curious about before I ripped her apart..

Half Hour after I received her:

Very interesting design all around. I am very impressed with the case thus far and how everything had to have been planned out to make this case as impressive as it is.

Yes that is a handle on top, and yes it is metal reinforced under the plastic, very sturdy, and the case is surprisingly light weight.

So after I ponder for a minute.. It gets the beginning treatment of what will be a long, yet quick mod..

So I haven't wanted to give away the theme up until now, but here goes, I think it will be easy enough to figure out ;)

So that was the basic work to the chassis of the case. In the next post I will update with some of the stuff I used to mod the case, and some more pictures.

Some random parts I will be using. Getting back to my roots and using things that will not make any sense until they are put together. ;)

Here you see the base coat on the hard drive bay area. The end result will be taken from the engines on Anakin's Y wing.

Some random stuff used for spare parts:

After the base coat, I started with some stripes, adding the ping pong balls that I cut up to replicate the front of the engine's (which I later had to discard as the side door could not shut) and some of the white plastic piece's from the model that I used.

So with that being said, the top of the case was modded to fit R2-D2 who is remote controlled, his head moves and he talks. The window was done with etched glass, and a cutout of the Millennium Falcon, The whole case, chassis, and all black meshed panels were given a cosmic paint theme, and of course the print on the back panel of a classic scene from the Battle of Hoth, blended with a nice star fight scene. The light saber lights up, makes noise, and can be removed from the case for your amusement.

Let's get to some final pictures! :Hi: Which by the way do not in any way shape or form do it justice.
