:shock: :shock: Wow, that's amazing! A bit messy in places, but still, excellent work. I think its a definite improvement over your SNESp in terms of vac. forming (although that wasn't too shabby either), looking much smoother and such. I like the black of the controller blending into the black of the case, it makes it look very cool.

Nice! I was wondering where do you get your clay for mold making? Do you make a mold with clay then melt the plastic over it? Vacuumforming might be the only solution if my client wants me to finish a case anytime soon. As for the messiness its nothing a nice coat of paint can't fix. :wink:

Oho! What have we here, a GCP, but *gasp* it's not Gamelver's! How can that be! :P
You're getting pretty good at vaccuum forming! And I have to say, I am having trouble deciding if I like Gamelver's GCP or yours more. They both are so good!
Great job, keep it up :D

Looks like the GCp isnt as rare an item as before. Looks very good, save for the oil/grease/whatever you have on the case.

finally!!! I'm not the only one with a GCp :P!!!!!

looks good, turbo tax :D....a bit messy, but so was my first one ;). I see you had to make the case a little bigger than mine, though, to accomodate for those huge 3Ah batteries :)....I'm guessing you get around.....1.5 hours of battery life?

anyway, I'm glad to see that the 2.5th GCp is a great looking one :D...oh, and I would also like to ask...did my GCp thread(s) help ;)?
