 Hey RedGhost, hadn't seen you on here for a while now.  Hope all is well and thanks for sharing!

[TR0N]

Nice case mod redghost i've looked at your other ones keep it up.

[BlueBMW]

Thats nice but that skies of arcadia Dreamcast takes the cake for me
...  WANT

[Platinumfungi]

MotherGunner - Yeah, I unfortunately don't get on the forums as much as I'd like these days. I hop in for a few minutes, usually check out what's new in the Mod/Repair Forum, and that's about it. Life's been really busy for awhile now, but I'm trying to be around a little more than I have. If you guys have any charts or anything you'd like made let me know and I'll try to help out  I hope everything is going well for you too, thanks!

TR0N - Thanks man! I will.

BlueBMW - Ha ha, yeah that Skies of Arcadia was fun. If you're ever interested in a custom piece let me know 

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Another fine case mod, R.G.  Well done. 

[TheClash603]

Wow, very nice!

It's amazing that people can make awesome stuff like that, and I'm unable to mod a Duo Tap to make it have a Laseractive logo...  lol!

Just out of curiosity, what kind of paint should I be using on a console/peripherals if I wanted to take a shot at this?

[Platinumfungi]

Necromancer - Thanks man! I'm trying.

TheClash603 - Thank you! If you're ever working on a custom project and want to bump our heads together for brainstorming solutions let me know. As per the paints, the paint job was performed by the amazing "Jayrod2" aka "Custom NES Guy". Look up "jayrod2" on youtube and you'll find him. He has stated this - "I use automotive basecoat clearcoat, usually PPG brand. Its the same exact paint I paint cars with.", but other than that you'd need to contact him and ask for more details.

[TheClash603]

Thanks for the help Red Ghost!  Automotive paint it is...

[RegalSin]

I don't think car paint is child safe. An Acrylic with a gloss
finish might be better. The logic behind a products design with videogames is that they have to child safe.

[Bernie]

lmao!  Seriously dude...  I really doubt these mods are being done for children.  WTH??  Red, another fine creation.  One day, I may let you do something with one of my consoles.

I've always wanted to have a Black Duo-R with a custom Turbo Grafx Logo... Heresy I know but I think it would look awesome.

That is an excellent idea actually!

[Platinumfungi]

I've been debating about something along those lines for awhile myself. Something that's very custom that adds to, not detracts from, the look and feel of the system. It would have to be done carefully as many people would immediately hate ANY change to the classic system...

[Bernie]

DO IT!!  If I like, I will send you one to do for me.

[Terminarcade]

[Arkhan Asylum]

Kotaku can blow me.

no offense.

[MotherGunner]

The comments on Kotaku are bitching about what video editor you used?  Lol...  talk about missing the point.

[Platinumfungi]

Terminarcade - Ha! I didn't realize you were here either Termina. That's crazy. I've been here since the beginning of 2007  I usually just hit up the mod/repair forums. Thanks for the sub! More mods to come!

Arkhan - Oh I understand. None taken! I really don't like the "redesign" they made awhile back myself. But, it's great publicity.

MotherGunner - I know, right? And the funny thing is they're all incorrect. NO ONE ever said anything about having used Avid Video Editor to make the video. Some guy just jumped the gun and assumed that, I guess because the media team is named Avid Productions 479.

[TR0N]

TR0N - Thanks man! I will.

I forgot to ask if you offer serivces for modding consoles still.Probably by next month,i'll be getting a model 1 genesis and i been seeing who offers s-video and region switchs etc.

[Arkhan Asylum]

my hate for Kotaku started when I posted a "this is 3 mins from my house" comment on their Double Dragon Buffet picture post

some tool at Kotaku called me a liar, so I posted a picture of me standing in front of it, giving them the finger.

Then they deleted Insanity posts and said they weren't relevant to gaming.  lol.

retards.

[Platinumfungi]

TRON - Yes indeed. I have a link in my sig, but for convenience here ya go - http://gametz.com/user/platinumfungi.html Just scroll down a bit to start seeing my work. FYI the page is a bit outdated so just ask me about anything you're interested in 

Arkhan - There do seem to be an awfully lot of dumb comments and things happen over there.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Yeah, and the people in charge are often the ones doing it.

That ain't no good.
