I wanted this case to incorporate aspects of several types of Iron Man armor,  starting with his original dull gray steel. Although rivets were not always in  evidence, these would add to the effect of heavy plate on the panels. Starting  with the case itself, I anchored short lengths of aluminum angle (L brackets) to the top and  front edges of the chassis. These were used as anchor points to attach two  curved steel panels at the bottom front and top rear of the case. To strengthen  the sheet metal, I riveted ribs of aluminum bar stock to the outer edges using  two rows of heavy nickel wire for the pins. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.microcenter.com/random_access/newsletters/08_newsletters/0608/in_the_lab.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.microcenter.com/img/03D040CD-A97F-430A-9193-5B0AC9D54061" alt="Armor Elements" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.microcenter.com/random_access/newsletters/08_newsletters/0608/in_the_lab.html">To create a layered articulated armor on the top, sections of PVC plastic  were cut and then anchored to the aluminum angle with sheet metal screws. A  final PVC panel was attached to the front and a piece of foam rubber trimmed to  fill the gap between the sections. The foam was trimmed to a smooth shape with  a razor blade, and then covered with a layer of epoxy</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5;
