Who doesn't want to build a mouse droid? This is how I'm building mine . .
I started out by building a computer model. That's pretty much how I start everything.

The computer model is all to scale, including the 1/8th styrene it's made out of. The next thing was to come up with a cutting pattern. I laid it out in Solidworks and this is what I got. (top shell only, showing)

So I printed it out, glued it on some stryene with glue stick and got to cutting. I needed two of the sides and the frame pieces.
