just giving this a bit of a bump! it's kinda easy to win right now because we only have one entry! You have until the 16th of August, so go on and join in!

First... We start with this case.. Then we either remove the power button, reset button, and LED's off of the front or relocate them behind something. Depending on the motherboard you choose, you can even get rid of the buttons completely and boot with a keyboard command.

Then, we take some bondo and make it match the consistency of Alfred's skin. After this, we put a thin layer of fiberglass over it for strength and a good gluing surface (rough it up with some 80grit so the adhesive sticks nice and good!)

Now, we glue the fur on to Alfred, making sure to leave it so we can still get inside him. [ulr=http://www.pearlpaint.com/shop~ocID~1000~parentID~984~categoryID~973~layoutI ndicator~vertical.htm] this[/url] would be easy-to-use and good glue for this application, given that nobody tugs or pulls on Alfred's fur (but that would probably be a bad idea anyways!).

Now, depending on how much you'll need a CD drive, you can either omit it from the system (plugging one in only to install the operating system) or do a slot-loading optical drive such as this one.

You could mount the slot-loading optical drive where Alfred's mouth is. (To give the illusion that Alfred is "eating" the CD's)

To achieve the proper skin tone on Alfred's face, you can simply lay down a layer of a base color followed by airbrushing the highlights and shadows in.

For the tongue, we will take sculpey and model the tongue. From there, you could cover it in fiberglass or just paint it as is (although it would be better to layer it in fiberglass so that it's more robust.

Looking pretty close to done now, eh? Well, Alfred doesn't know that because he doesn't have eyes! Yet..

Give Alfred (three) Pairs of these. Since there's quite a few different sizes there, you'll have to figure out just how big Alfred's eyes really are.

Now we take some sheetmetal and make a cover to go over the back of Alfred, hiding the cables that will inevitabely protrude. to make this cover match the rest of Alfred, you bondo and then fiberglass it to the consistency of Alfred's skin then put the fur on it.


Aside from internal components (which are completely up to you, Cymae), Alfred is now finished! =o
