My latest endeavour is a Sonic Titan built on the EAE Mojo Titan board. Saw the project come up a while back and thought it looked a bit of fun but only just got round to building it.
Found a cool slanted box to put it in. Was a little challenging to etch to slanted bit in terms of keeping it level so the etchant didn't all run off but managed it!
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this when I fired it up, has a really cool thing of its own in terms of distortion. Tried both a J201 and 2N5457 in Q1, the 201 swung it for me, just seemed to have more clarity.

That looks great! Where did the enclosure come from?

That's an amazing etch on a difficult surface. Nice one.

Epic! Anyone mentioned the super etch yet...? ;) You got great depth out of that etch too and the graphics itself is cool, together with the knobage!

Cheers guys, was a tricky etch tbh and the aluminium reacted quite differently the Hammond boxes I'm used to. Initially I wasn't sure if it was working at all!
Also, not sure if you can see from the photo of the knob labels, but I inadvertently ended up getting bevelled lettering! The etchant must have been nibbling away at the edges of the letters, it looks pretty cool tho I think!

How strong is the enclosure? Think it will hold up to a fair amount of use? Always wondered about those boxes.
