I've started four projects since the official start of the contest. I don't know how many I'll finish in these six weeks, but I will finish one at least.

Good, excellent; more the merrier! However, quality over quantity is the key.

I'm going to have to finish my SNES for my multi-platform system first, as I don't like to have several things on the go at the same time; unfortunately this means I will have less time than most; never mind, will still do what I can. If I don't do a GC in one of my systems I can always do N64, which is only about 3 days work or so (prettied frankencase).

Oh I agree wholeheartedly. Like I said, not sure how many I'll have at a "finished" state within the time frame, but it's worth a try. Of course, never being bothered to log any progress saves time, too. :lol:


I find I have no problem working on multiple projects. There's often a point where I'm waiting for glue to dry or plastic to cure, so I might as well move on to something else for the moment. Just my method, though.

The wonderful thing about not playing is that I can't lose. :lol:

This contest sounds really cool, it's a shame I've just got way too much on my plate right now to be taking part in it. :( I may do a small mod of some sort should I get the time. Looking forward to drooling over the stuff you guys crank out, nonetheless! :)

Boo! You need to get your priorities straight. There's nothing more important than modding! :P I wish...

I too am really looking forward to what everyone makes. Props to anyone who's participating!

Dang, man, I was keeping up great until my screen broke. The glass broke right where the ribbon cable connects. That one's shelved until I find another screen. If anyone has a 3" x 4" or smaller screen for REALLY cheap, I could resurrect this one.

If not, I'll just keep going on my others. lol

I think you had better enter this one into the contest, Triton! We need some master bondo skills present like lovablechevy's and yours. My case doesn't involve any bondo.

If you don't enter it I will be sad.
