Whoa shame on me! :eek: I'll just say school and other work got me too busy? :think:
I once said I modded an old mechanical mouse we didn't use anymore. Well now I have finally got the digital camera here! So I can post some piccies now. :)
This is my first mod ever. I collected/cut off little bits of old action figures and other toys, and glued them to the mouse. I also found a metal ring like thing in which I put some plastic cover(I wish I could put a LED in there, that would make it soo cool, but I don't have the skill for that) Then I took my games workshop paint and started giving it some color. I also used a lighter to soften parts of the plastic so I could carve in it (it also made these corroded little bubbles on it :) )
It doesn't look too usable, but the big round thing in the middle supports most of your hand, and the mouse buttons feel really good! Of course I don't use it, since it is mechanical, old, and I don't have any sort of varnish around to protect the paint. It's more of a showpiece really. :)

I'm getting some inspiration again for a casemod I'm working on, but I'm afraid my timing is a bit off, cause it's getting reaaally cold in our cellar now...
