Well Im almost done with my N64 portable, all I have left to do is to paint it and put it together. Here are some pictures of the case that I already primered so its ready to paint. What I like about the case is when you slide the the game down the back, its the same shape as the game. That way it give it a clean look.

Looks great! Your cases are always so smooth! I'm not sure who's is better, yours, or marshalls?

Oh snap! First Turbo's GCp, then it was Marshalls N64p, and now your N64p! Wow, this has been one heck of a portablizing month

That is one great case you got there! I love the design, keep up the good work.

wow that looks really clean and well done. could you say what kind of bondo you use in in your cases, like the kind that comes in a red can for autobody work or marine putty?

.

But great job, you've amazed me once again!

Hey, another 64 portable! I was wondering if you were ever going to get around to finishing it, what with the Xboxp and all.
I like how you bondo'd the analog stick casing in, it looks much smoother that way. That's neat how the cartridge is perfectly even with the case, looks nice. And a big w00t for keeping the D-pad (I have it one mine too, but I used an NES pad). Did you also keep the L button then?
Man, I really gotta finish mine before it's old news...

! it looks so clean and excellent and it's great that you gave it a d-pad. the analog stick looks really good bondoed to the case

Hang on that's a NES... What am I missing?

Edit: I also like the way the joystick bit is moulded into the case. I also like the fact that you went to the effort of making the correct shaped holes for the buttons so they cannot rotate.

The noac I was using broke...

@daguuy: It's not bondo'd, that's vaccuum formed...

He vaccuum forms the general shape of the case, but cuts holes and bondos the controller bits in.

Looking good, dkap01! That is quite a funky design.

When I first saw it I thought it was upside down

You're a machine! I have no idea how you can pump portables out on such a regular basis, yet still make them so good. Great job...as always.

I really need to get myself in case making shape. I need to finish my vacuum forming table first, then grieve about it not giving the correct results!
