Some Good Plastic

Post by ValiantVenality »

Where would I find some good plastic that ben uses in his book? And would it be thin?

Are you talking about the engraving plastic that he speaks of for his NES project? It was a serious ***** to find that stuff in my town! I seriously drove around for 4 hours and spent some time on the phone. I finally found a guy who owned a business in his garage selling the stuff. It cost me 25 bucks for 3 sheets 12 inches by 12 inches. :( The stuff is 1/16th inches thick just like the book says. I'm going to end up putting some plexi under it because it just feels too thin.

The guy who built the Cherry Bomb NESp (scherubino) gave me a link to a plastic retailer near me, but I'm on the EC... Also, Valiant... I told my parents that the NESA was stolen, so they put a bid on a NeoPocket Fami (they never tell me their logic)... This means, basically, hold off on building that NES, because I don't wanna end up paying 140$+ for two seperate NESps... Keep working on yours though, show me it when you're done!


PS: The NeoPocket Fami comes with a converter...
