I looked at the local game store, they didn't have any outside a console bundle.. So I either buy a SNES with one controller, or nothing.

The only spare shell I have, is for Gamecube..

they only run a few bucks on ebay for us here in the states im sure in the uk it would prolly run a pound or so plus shipping.

SNES controllers on eBay are Â£13.50...

I have got a NES controller board, so I'd have to build the case from scratch..

Are we allowed to build cases from scratch?

Good luck to you all.
you still haven't answered whether or not I can join in.. Your decision mate.

Also, I don't have any spare NES or SNES controllers to destroy.. only a cube controller and PS2 controller..

I could stop by gamestation and see if they have N64, SNES or NES controllers.

i think you should, you do some k-razy crap

Ok...It's now an open contest. You must remake a Nintendo NES controller (for Sparkfist's reasons, and they're dirt cheap) using Bondo or any other crazy skills you may have, except vaccum forming.

You must complete the said controller (personally I'd prefer N64) by March 16th. After you complete it, post pictures of it in this thread.

Since this is just for the skills of case-making, the controller doesn't have to work, but the guts should be in their appropriate and corresponding places. On March 16th, at 7 o clock, this contest is over.

At that point, whichever mod wants to can go through the listings and make a poll out of it. To make it easier on them, Bold the listing.

Ready...set... bananas!

...

Begin!

i didnt agree to an open contest with nes controller! im gonna have to think about this.

What did you agree to?

Open contest doesn't exclude others extremely good bondo-goers who are hiding in the shadows. Nes controller is hard to turn into something cool.

Why Triton? Scared?

I think having it open is better, because it allows everyone to participate and it combats peoples strengths and skills by making the same thing, in the same time frame.

scared = no. but i assumed it would be me vs gforce vs turbotax which would have been simple to manage with a few rules but making it basically a massive free for all buildoff adds complexity to the whole thing. but i do have some ideas

lets see where this goes!

Kurt_ · Post by **Kurt_** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 3:58 pm

Well you don't have to be in, but it wouldn't be the same iwthout you. If you want to cut down on complexity, make me a temp mod of F42!

Whoa!!! Wait a minute. This started out a two man contest. I want to see you wins between G-force and triton. I don't think It would be that good if it was an open contest. But what ever its your guy's choice.

Kurt_ · Post by **Kurt_** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 4:06 pm

Well hows this sound: Theres the open conetst, and we decide a winner for that, and then we decide a winner between triton, g, and turbo.

man i want to be in on this because i already have a really neat nes controller design on my pda now is a chance to bring that thing to life
if i have any time
i vote for G-Force because well.......

Kurt_ · Post by **Kurt_** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 4:12 pm

I understand where Triton's coming from. It's more competitioney when they only have 2-3 equal or greater bondo-ers to beat.

Hows this sound. We do the 3, then after they finish we do everyone else?

I'm trying to be inclusive, but not let this fall apart.

I resign as head-post-maker. Mods, you can deal with this mess, or tell the people they're not wanted.

Dark Lord · Post by **Dark Lord** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 4:31 pm

sounds good because it is about those three because they are very accomplished portablizers. after the poll is taken for them we can vote on everyone else.
