I got bored - never a good thing. Stuff gets broke. but not this time.

I had an old Labtec optical mouse laying around, and got thinking about a mod I'd seen a long, long time ago, perhaps even on this site somewhere.

Obviously, the one I saw was much better executed.

It's not finished, and I'll post more pics when it's painted and tarted up and stuff.

Sorry bout the blurry pics, my camera 'aint much cop in low light.

Feedback?

And yes, my son does know I raided his toy box, but since I promised he can have it for his PC he doesn't seem to mind.

What is in there?

This gave me an idea for doing a mouse mod to make it look like Han Solo frozen in carbonite from Empire. hehe

Actually, if I can find a Jedi Starfighter to hollow out and swap the guts, that might be even better...

Sorry about that. What color are you going to paint it?

Thats a lego fella, well actually it's not, it's from a mega bloks mega dragon set or something. Like lego anyway.

I'm gonna paint it a kinda weathered brass colour, to almost match the armour the dude is wearing. it's the precursor to a full mega bloks mega super dragon thing themed case with chains and a portcullis and turrets and a castle and all that ol' crap.

Should be cool :D

NONONONONONOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Repeat after me:

We do not chop up our Chaos Space Marine army for our PC.

We only use cheap-o toys we find in our sons toybox.
