    i have a quick question about the plasti-paste stuff you used. i know with many plastics used in pc cases you can use the same glue used to fix plexiglass togeather to bond with case plastics. i was wondering if works with this plasti paste stuff as well. any experiance with that?

    Fantastic work, it just keeps getting better.
    My goal in life is to earn enough money to enjoy the lifestyle that my wife and kids do.

    Sorry I haven't been able to respond the last couple days. That storm that came through the north state on Friday really packed a wallop. 60-70mph winds coupled with heavy rains took out hundreds of trees and power lines, rendering most of the city powerless for days, including our house. We had to transfer all perishables from the fridge to ice chests, and endure 56° temps in the house for two days.

    Well, power finally got restored this morning, so I can finally get some work done out in the garage. I really wanted to get those pods on the side panels by this weekend, but it looks like that won't happen for another couple days. Gotta step up the pace to try and make up lost time now.

    I am using a CA glue (cyanoacrylate) for the styrene and it seems to adhere well to the plasti paste too. I used it to glue all the ribbing onto the top of the landing bay.

    Well, here's what I got done tonight. A small, but significant update, as this documents the
    ceremonial joining of the engine pods and side panels!

    I first glued them down after roughing up the surface of the aluminum a bit.


    After they set up, I applied copious amounts of bondo around them, filling in all the gaps.


    Here is one side on the case, after adding the armor panels.


    And a closeup shot showing how I had to fit the armor to the shape of the pods.


    Not much, like I said. But significant none the less! I plan on getting the second armor layer
    done tomorrow, and then hopefully a good jump on the armor for the other side.

    More work done on the side panels!

    Got the second layer of armor paneling down. Here's one of the sections penciled out.


    ..And a shot after gluing it down and removing the left overs.


    After getting the side panels to a point where they look half way decent, I thought I would take a few shots
    of the whole case together. It's good for me to take a step back every so often and get an overall view of it
    as a computer case. I've been so close to it ever since I started, working on small sections by themselves,
    that I forgot how important that is.







    Still got a long way to go, but it's real nice to see that the pieces actually fit together. lol!
