hehe, sort of why I posted it here instead of the gameboy section... I know these threads always lead to tons of questions. I keep no secrets. Any one quires about anything, just fire away.

I use a variety of paint, no brand in particular though, experience tells me what paints are harder and more saturated than others. Krylon tops my list. Always have a can of adhesive promoter handy.

Various places.

large broken eBay lots I repair myself
thrift stores
trades
Supply from online shops such as Nonfinite, Kitsch, DMGs-R-Us

most of these will end up being just custom cases, about 10-20 will be full DMGs and either auctioned off, or sold as request.

I mainly scour ebay for hours for big boxes of broken DMGs for like 10 bucks. Then repair them when possible.

Question: When you take pictures of your custom painted NES's and stuff like that, how do you do your background behind the NES? Like what do you put it in/on/in front of when you are taking the picture to get that studio look? I have a nikon D40 so I kinda want to try doing some backgrounds for the pc and what not, and I want to know how to get that backdrop

I get this alot so I will answer in public... I have mentioned before I design action figures for a living, you can take a peak at the photography section of this tutorial from my real jobs website http://www.kylerobinsoncustoms.com/links/starters.htm

ignore all the stuff about "figures" and apply it customs..lol. (and yes, this is old, 6mpx...lol.. c'mon)

but yeah, diffusion is god amongst product photography. the background I use is silver, adds even more light disbursement.

also, here is blog about my light bulbs from a while back, im sure you can still find them

here is my current set up

if I missed anything you still want to know... just ask

Hehe, from the thread title, I was expecting a new theme for chipmusic.org that made it look like a Game Boy. tongue

But this is cool too, you're definitely king of the fancy painted GBs. smile

Thretris, do you have a tut written up on your painting process, or would you be able to do one on your next paint job? It'd be nice to see what steps you take to do such great work.

I'd like more the chipmusic themed if it were clear line, not drops.

But I say it's pretty good. smile
