trimming for a tighter fit to the housing...

i used the Dremel to remove an arc of material from the bottom portion of the two skull halves so that we could create a tight fit to the fan housing...

 

 

the skull and face hugger models arrived today...

a bit of surgery was required to split the skull in two...

 

amazing how easy it is to get rid of a body...

 

i used duct tape to form the line that i would follow...

 

the Dremel does it all...

 

the mock up...

this is the version we will continue on with...

 

 

 

i decided to scrap the "Monster House" look and move towards a H.R.Giger look

with the over sized jaw removed, i replaced it with a human skull...this is the one i used on the mock up till a more suitable one could be ordered...

the cardboard pieces represent the acrylic parts that i will fabricate later...

 a close up shot for you...

 

and some things we have stayed with...

like this idea of using four matching monitor stands as case feet...

 

 

she has taken many forms over the past couple of months...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so here we are back at the beginning...here is my Antec Skeleton right out of the box...
