So, it has been a while since I painted anything with decent results and I did not want my first portable to be a horrible joke due to the lack of paint skills. So I decided that I would make a case that uses skins instead of paint. I have not seen this on the boards but admittedly I did not look too hard. I thought this to be an original idea but it seems everytime I start work on an original idea I see it posted on here about half way through making it. This is my first portable. It is not 100% done in the fact that there is more that I want to do to it, but it is playable and it is 100% functional. Enough chat on with the pictures!
The Front with Skin 1
The Front with another Skin
My sisters dorm room. Just the first picture I could find on my computer.
The Front without a skin
I will be building the controller into the case at a later date.
The back
I am going to put a cart slot on. I had difficulty with the first one that I wired up so I removed it to be completed at a later date.
The Side
So, what do you think of the skin Idea? The case is a 2 casette tape holder. I think you could do the same with a DVD Case but it would be bigger. This case is slightly longer than a nes cart and just a hair more narrow on the width.
