Good look man, I don't think the deadline will be a problem for U. Just paint it and you are done. ^^

thx m8!!

time for the first update:

in the last days we continued the work on the first test pieces so that we get a better imagination were we are heading at...before we start to produce the final parts in the next days...

first we made a grill for the 2nd sidepanel...(maybe we will make the final version a bit smaller)

then we made a few parts for the front...just to figure out in which combination we?re going to use them later...

after that we started to print out the first part which will be used on the front of the case....

beside that we made a few smaller preparations ...like cutting out a few mesh stripes and things like that...
(the mesh will be used behind the stark industries logos....)

(both stripes will be sanded, so that we get rid of those anodizing...)

Looking good

The grill on the side would look better when it is bit smaller. Then Stark Industries would jump more in to your vision.

yeah, we thought the same, so we resized the grill for the right sidepanel and made it a little bit smaller...now it fits much better:up:

in the last days we continued the work on the case....first we started to sand down the anodizing of the mesh pieces....

then we added a first layer of paint on the printed frame for the front....

http://www.babetech.de/images/7H/22.jpg

then we put it in it?s place, so that we could take a few measurements for the next parts...

http://www.babetech.de/images/7H/26.jpg

after getting all the informations we needed, we could print out those "A" Shaped pieces and make a first prototype of a frame for the front....
http://www.babetech.de/images/7H/27.jpg

and last but not least we started to cut out the first frames and grills out of metal...

Nice... but why you didn't paint the case?
Everything look good to me except the stock black... ;)
