my Sweet64 progress thread!

Woot for 600 grit and some higher grit of steel wool! And Marshall, I think my N64p will be smaller than yours, seeing as I have to cut the screen board and the N64 mother board down

, So I think I'm ripping off the GBA more than a Tribute to your work.

Ok, update! (these are getting kind of rare, aren't they...)
I am almost finished with the first half of the case... ZOMG. I will try to start to paint primer on today, but first I need to drill some holes in first, and sand one more coat of bondo... I'll post pics when I start painting today. so look forward to those!

EDIT I unfortunately don't have access to a camera at the moment, but I will make it up by giving you a video of it! I'll upload it when I finish priming it, or when I stop priming today.

DOUBLE EDIT: My case looks like crap when I video tape it, so I'm going to wait 'till I get my camera back...

I'm soooooooo sorry for the late picks, but there are some excuses!
1. people are working on my shower, and they like to spray the hose right where I paint my case

2. I didn't have a camera

3. monsoon season!

4. chrono trigger

anyway...(beware 56kers...)

pay no attention to the taken apart R.O.B in the background...

I'll go to ace hardware today, and pick a nice shade of semi-flat white...

Looks a lot like a gameboy advance, should turn out great.

Wow, that thing's gorgeous! Gets better and better every time I look at this thread. And I suppose I can forgive you, seeing as reason #4 is completely valid and all...

Your not going to sell this are you. You should defiantly keep it for yourself. I mean all the hard work you've put into it.

ARE YOU CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hell no, I'm keeping this for myself.

and SS: everyone seems to not like it, but it works fine for me. I'm going to put the Z button on the back, sort of simulating the actual controller scheme.

Huh? Why do people not like the placement. I actually really like the way things are placed out. Looks like it would be comfortable.

All I have to say is holy...feces!

VERY smooth. It looks like you might have glued/bondoed the screen plastic in a little crooked.

Case looks lovely. Hope everything fits in it ok (in your SNES project, the case didn't close).

What are the dimensions of the case? Just curious.

Dude. Why the hell is that n64 on carpet!? :O

Master of Portables · Post by **Master of Portables** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 5:51 pm

scmellyfart: I know it looks like that, but it is actually straight (well, not perfectly straight, as I am human, but straight enough...)

bacteria: The dimensions are:
Height= 13.1 cm
Width= 25.5 cm
Thickness= I can't measure thickness at the moment, as the first half is being painted

(in centimeters for your convenience...

)

HotDog-Cart: The N64 is on a piece of cardboard...

I believe I know to never put it on the carpet...

after the comments on the first page of this thread, that is...
