after making the dimensions, heres the crate box of the terran marine. Still need to do some cutting and replacing the sides with Wire Mesh and Mini Fans

Il try to have a cooler master laser logo placed here in the center with matching led lights.

A more detailed 3D look of the crate terran marine box ( unfinished )

This weekend Il be getting some Volcanic Materials and make a base for the whole Project. The Base will be similar to one of my Mcfarlane action figure. The difference is that I will use a real Volcanic Debris / Deposits as my base.

Already got 2 cooler master products just now courtesy of Sir andrew and Ms. anne.
Thanks for being so generous mam and sir.
The Cooler master GX 500W PSU and Cpu Cooler Vortex plus.

This is a little bit heavy, so a little modding will do, starting with the replacement
of housing to acrylic.

il try to replace this fan to a led fan instead.

the CPU cooler Vortex plus…. Not that expensive but serves its purpose ^_^

Will replace this too with Led Lights fan
