Alright. A suit case. A case of suits.. The four suits in poker. That will be the theme of this case.

Tomorrow, I will finish shaping and sanding the middle holdy-downy bit, and then sand and paint it all, including the inside bits. I want to replace the horrid yellow led on the front with a nice, clean white one, and pop some leds inside of it too, so it'll be all lit up and nice inside.
Lemme know what ya think.
