Retro Rasperry PiMac Part 3

Today I sat down at the project table and cut some more foam for the mockup/mold for the all-in-one case.  I love foam board and hot glue as a build medium.  It's cheap, It's light weight and hot glue loves it.  I cut a rectangular piece and tore the paper off covering one side.  This allows me to roll the piece over the side of the table giving it a curve.  I taped that piece into place on the back so it acted like a hinge, then I laid down some hot glue.

Next I made some more poster board templates for the sides of the mold.  After cutting them out I glued them on in a fin-like arrangement. Here's a time-lapse of the entire session.



The next thing I'll need to do is fill in the spaces between the fins and shape it over.  I'm thinking about using a foam material like pink insulation foam or maybe something like Great Stuff spray foam.  Both would be rigid and able to be sanded.
