Damn, I had to register just to leave a comment in this baby!
AWESOME job Pedro, you have some mad skills!
A question:
Did you plan this ALL from the beggining(which tools to use, materials, etcetera) or you bought them as needed?
Você é o cara! Se melhorar estraga!! Hehe.
(Sorry for the portuguese guys... Had to congratulate him in good old portuguese too!)
Thank you very much Axell, I'm glad to have some fellow citzens around the globe. Actually I was building and the ideas were coming up, so, I mad many changes along the construction of this case.
The main tool is the Dremel and a lot of other materials, like fiber glass, body filler, sanding and a lot of paint job and modeling.
And, yes, I bought then as I needed. Each new creation requires specific tools and materials. Most of the case was projected, but, a nice part of then just was happenig as I build it.
Thank you again for the visit and you kindly coment.
See you !
