A few months ago I got tired of looking at my boring old case and decided to go caseless and demolish my case.
I really wanted to design and make a cool case that I designed. So, after a few weeks of doodling and drawling I came up with an Idea that I fell in love with. After a few more added details and changes here and there, I called up Captain Slug and asked if he could design my dream case in Milkshape 3D. Without hesitation he, Captain Slug, started working on the model.
After many late night discussions and many Ideas put out onto the table and rejected we came up with a final idea. The following model is what I finnaly decided on in the end. None of this could be possible without the help of Captain Slug:

This is what the final case will look like when I'm done. This is my first project of this scale and because I dont have quite the money to get all the tools to machine alluminum and metal and what not, which would equal to over $300, I asked Captain slug to machine the base parts for this project. He said that he will only charge $50 ontop of material costs and for professional work, thats not to bad.
