Default I have Few Questions...

Hiya all

I bought a case to play with so I want to ask you a questions
  1. What is the best tool to cut the side window called?
  2. Does the plastic window have a special names, I looked Google and all I get is a house windows (window frames)
  3. I have a idea, I want to paint the case Black, with gold glitter, so I though to throw some little glitter in the case before I spray, then start spraying, I want to start from the bottom, so it fades upwards, what do you think?
you can tell its my first try

thanks

1. Chainsaw
2. Lexan
3. Paint it, throw the glitter on the floor, and roll the case in it.

actual:
1. Jigsaw or Dremel depending on the design
2. Plexiglass or acrylic
3. Look for paint with glitter already in it and fade it up to a solid color.

1)Butter knives take too long

2)Cellophane is too thin

3)Rubbing charcoal on it and pasting confetti on it would get messy.



Listen to BA. Those are prime suggestions and the right answers.

Thanks Thrasher, only problem is, BGPDealers is there and I'm here
Paint is sorted, got a friend who works in a car garage, so I'm hooked up however, say I manage to cut my shape, but then itsa open area, without a acrylic (Plastic window) anything could get in, in fact, it might even be a insect shelter (you'll see little ants sleeping in the memory, some rats eating my Hard disk cable, wow, a nightmare huh). So I gotta find a plastic window dealers? got idea? even Online

Big Akita, I'm going for Dremel, JigSaws are £££ and Dremels are ££

BTW, Rats and insects, itsa Joke, aint nothing in my house

Actually, a decent jigsaw is cheaper than a Dremel kit, especially if you factor in the price of several Dremel bits that you will inevitably destroy...
