Message	Heres my first attempt at casting the covers. Didnt come out as expected but i know where i messed up. Second attampt comming up shortly. The good thing is that the plastic used has stood up to the testing ive done so far. Heat at 350 degrees in the over for over 1 hour and constant dropping on a concrete floor to see if it breaks. In both cases the material has held up very well. Now i just have to get it looking good and consistent. There is still abit of testing. i will keep you all posted [URL=http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=jthiani ]TT swap video diary[/URL] [IMG]http://www.gigabitcustoms.com/z32club.jpg[/IMG]
