Nice! Man thats gonna look real good with a smooth sanding and a nice coat of paint. Gotta love frankin'/bondo cases, you can do pretty much anything you want with that stuff.
Little tip for painting; the paint doesn't like to go on well over the bondo-ed spots. I don't know why, it just doesn't like the bondo for some reason (must have made out with it's sister or somthing). So use a couple coats of primer and then smooth sand over the places that have bondo, then use the paint. If you don't do that you can see the impression of the bondo-ed area through the paint.
Thats gonna look great man.

thanks for the advice but its been painted already, and i know what you mean about the bondo, the paint just doesnt like it. but i think it came out decent, except it seems like there are scratches in it (bearly noticeable) i think its from the krylon paint type i used. for my next case i think i will just prime and sand like you said. what kind of paint did you use on your N64p it looks nice and smoothe

I just used normal Krylon primer and paint. It's kinda hard to work with though, since it dries REALLY fast. If you try to do touch up with it, it dosn't have enough time to slowly dry, so it looks kinda rough around the edge of where you sprayed. So it's better if you only do coats, and no touch-up spraying.Turbo Tax 1.0 wrote:thanks for the advice but its been painted already, and i know what you mean about the bondo, the paint just doesnt like it. but i think it came out decent, except it seems like there are scratches in it (bearly noticeable) i think its from the krylon paint type i used. for my next case i think i will just prime and sand like you said. what kind of paint did you use on your N64p it looks nice and smoothe
It's not really that hard to work with, I'm just a perfectionist. Thus I make everything harder than it needs to be.

yeah the mini snes fits in there perfectly, the only problem i am having as of know is the thickness of my batteries. i am gonna need to cram it shut even though the batteries are li-poly. o and no soundminkster wrote:Count me as impressedHow are you going to fit the snes mobo in there? I've never seen one out of the case so I don't really know the dimensions. I bet it requires a lot of cutting/wiring. Good luck on fiinishing it! It looks really cool.
