I was able to see the work in progress in person.  Really really cool mod and build all together.  The net with the old parts is my favorite, along with the EVGA parts!  Final version looks amazing!!   I believe you can go vote somewhere and have the build get the Peoples Choice Award.   @Boddaker, how about a link to vote? 

Thanks Eddie!  Here's the link to vote.. you can vote for as many mods as you like, not just mine!  And you are entered to win some cool gear as well, so its a win-win.  :)

Very Nice custom build
 
I enjoyed the show as you built your Rig

Saw EVGA displaying this picture earlier today. 

This thing is amazing!!!!!!!

Thanks for your comments everyone! Love all the feedback. :D
 
So after a brief hiatus, I figured I'd jump back on this project and do some things I didn't have time for during the competition.  I'll be making a few minor adjustments to the case here and there, but mostly I wanted to pay more attention to the base that supports the speeder.  

My original design held up surprisingly well, but it needed to be clamped to the table to keep it from tipping over.  So I went back to the drawing board and made some revisions.  

I made a new vertical support with a more extreme angle to get the legs under the case more, then added angle bar to eliminate any flexing. Just using my spot welder since I dont have an actual big-boy welder lol.  Also not too concerned with looks since it will all be covered.


Now it's really starting to look horrific!  I chopped up some rebar to add some weight to the base, and used bondo to hold everything in place.  Then I wrapped the whole thing with mesh.


Breaking out the epoxy putty, I started covering the entire base, making sure to work it into the mesh. Trying for a rocky surface look & feel.


Done and cured! Almost ready for paint, just gotta sand out any noticeable fingerprints and make it more rock-like.


Hopefully I can get some paint on it tonight.. we'll see!

I just stumbled onto your build here Bod cause it came up in the posts lists and ive got to say another nicely done project. You did a great job giving it that worn look. Although, your gonna kill me when I tell you this, but you probably could have just moded a Glade solid air freshener container for your nozzles that you 3d-printed, lol. Yes, it would have been a little different maybe but who knows it may have worked out better. Anyway, its the end product that matters and you def aced that.

That is a great Star Wars build and a unique idea. Came out looking better then what I would have expected with a lot of added features to really get it right.

Looking better and better...

Awesome work

holy crap.  talented as hell

Would it be possible to get the keyboard, mouse, and mod together in one picture?

Yep, I plan to do some final-final shots this weekend, after I tidy up some cabling and do a little panel alignment. :)
 

I need a 3D printer...

Awesome. Just love his mods.
