Mech warrior casemod

Don Soules won the ExtremeTech casemodding prize for "Atlas," a PC that's shaped like a giant mech warrior.


I like to call him "Atlas". I started last Christmas and I really don't know why I picked a mech…it just sounded cool. It's taken me over a year to complete.

The Case itself is made from oak veneer of varying thickness. It's about 3 ft. tall standing (2.5 ft. walking), 27 inches wide, and about 27 inches deep from gun tip to back. The paint scheme I used was one I adapted from the African dart frog. The black is Krylon semi flat spray and the green is custom made acrylic enamel with a flattening paste added to it. The top has a 120mm fan and a custom bent piece of Plexiglass.

It weighs in at a 'meager' 60 pounds and is pose able. The guns themselves are made from 1 foot sections of black pipe.
