Though I'd have a little go at DIYing a little box mod. Not got much experience with this kinda thing but plenty of enthusiasm ;)

Took a few pics as I went so I'll let them pretty much tell the story.
510 (thank you BaDaBooM for that)

Had just a couple of issues but the main one was connecting the negative on the 510, just could not get the solder to stick to the threads. Big and highly enjoyable learning curve though.

Thanks for looking. :D

Great build love it. Was this expensive to make?

Not all. Already had the tin and the 510 (thanks again Jamie) so around £10 and that still leaves me most of the wire I purchased from Modmaker left over for future stuff.

Thanks OHMmyGOD :D

I'm pressed its really clean for a tin mod, most of them look like a 5 year old has built them with their feet.

Good job !!

Thank you BDB. Popped my mod cherry ;).
Soldering was a little dodgy but got better as I progressed. Was quite pleased with my cut outs using the (Aldi) dremmel. Tons of fun to do though.

I have all the bits here but finding the time is an issue but you've re inspired me

Took a few hours but that includes reading/watching/learning. Finding that damn tin took longer than that ;)
