Whoa shame on me! I'll just say school and other work got me too busy?

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.

Aaand one without flash:

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...

Looks nice! Have you considered painting the buttons to match the rest of the shell? I think that'd make it look a bit neater!

Thanks! (damn that was fast!) I'm not too sure why I did them in a lighter silver/grey. But I don't think I'm going to get back to this, really.

Faster than a Turbo-Toilet-2000! Fair enough.

Wow man, that's really cool. +Rep for a good old kitbash.

Haha thanks. Yeah, I think I got a bit of my inspiration from the Doom3 mod that's on the front page. The other part of inspiration came from the fossile mouse mod video.
