I'm planning to use some 360 controller grips and trigger/bumper controls on my Air64. How exactly (what tools and supplies) would I do that? I'm going to be vac-forming a case, if that clears anything up.
EDIT: forgot to mention that by "grips" I mean everything from the bumpers back.

well, if you are gonna vac form, just cut up a shell and put it on your mold, or add grips to your mold with clay or wood or something. seems pointless to vac form and then frankencase it.

That's actually a much better idea...
While I'm here, what kind of plastic is best for vac-forming and where can I get it?

Triton, your case makes me sad.
Because mine won't be as epic.

Re: Help on attaching grips
all it takes is hard work and attention to detail. all of my cases look as good as they do because i spent a LOT of time sanding and filling and shaping
