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.
