I've mostly been looking at making vacuum forming bucks for some larger clear ProtoMac case part knock offs.
CNC and stereo-lithography output from such models will be the next big step in Retro-Computer Hacking. Most of the prototyping service bureaus also have 3D Scanners for doing rough modeling which can then be tweaked on a half way decent CAD Seat before output time. Kinda like scanning in and cleaning up Logos/Line Art in 2D back in the day.
Check out the articles in PopSCI(?) about Jay Leno's CAD/CAM/Prototyping Playpen for ideas on how to go about doing your project. :approve:
