I dig it!
You can just open the images in a new tab and then go to the album. You can still view them on photobucket.
Yeah, but it's still really inconvenient.
Damn it, Photobucket.
My pics are down because my bandwidth limit has been exceeded.
Stand by: images should return shortly.
(I remember the last time this happened, I had to start a whole new build thread... this one)
Time to do some of that marvelous detail to the face of this thing.
Traced it out, made poster board fascia pieces.
Yeah... I totally forgot to take picture of me cutting out all of the pieces of 040" styrene, but I assure you; it wasn't anything exciting.
Anyway, top piece is glued on and contoured, the bottom still needs to be drilled and cut for the speaker vent and start-select.
Stay Tuned.
Need to fill the area where the screen protector goes.
The lens is square in the rendering, so it needs to be square for my build.
I took the old lens and traced it onto a scrap piece of poster board. Cut it out and fit it to the shell.
I marked the edges of the opening to the back of the poster board, cut it out, and traced the pieces to some 040" styrene sheet.
Glued the styrene in place.
Then I sanded the ever-loving shit out of it with a block and P320 until everything was flush and flat.
This thing is coming together nicely.
Plug the new gaping hole with some scrap plastic from another project.
Mark it for D-pad relocation.
Cut along the dotted line, and relocate that sonofabitch!
Look at that... this going way more smoothly than I anticipated.
What would be the point of my builds if there wasn't any intense grafting of plastic pieces?
I had to move the d-pad to match the pokedex.
There's going to be a lot of cutting, filling, bracing, and sanding involved... I love this shit.
Well, I had planned on buying a new screen to go with project anyway... Damn shame, as I was hoping that this SP would have helped me skip a step and saved me about $60 on this build.
Oh well.
Let's get started.
Funky GBA with a bad screen: CHECK
Dismantle, kern, take pretty picture of meticulously arranged components: CHECK
This is why you don't leave your GBA in the sun, children.
But it's okay, because I have this broken AGS-101 with a *salvageable display.
Confidence is high on this project.
Found a significantly better picture of that pokedex.
I'm ordering some materials to make this happen (along with the stuff I need to finish my Pokedex GBA SP, and my Travel NES).
I will be pleasantly busy for the next few weeks.
Haah thats cool.Like Astrocat is playing GB... Gonna take photo of my le1600...
DO IT!
These tablets are supremely underrated.
All artists should consider getting one.
Made my first real effort in a digital media.
I'm still getting the hang of it, but it seems to be going smoothly.
This one isn't finished, I just wanted to post it before I screw it up.
Alright people, it's been a while.
I just stumbled on my next build.
I have everything I need for this build except for the back-lit screen.
What do you guys think?
.I have same but LE1600... Where to get extra pens for them?Can you give me som tips for compatible pens?
ThNx
I'm not sure if there's any third party digitizers that work with the LE1600, but I know that you can buy new OE digitizers on ebay and amazon for $30-$40,
So, I decided to get myself a tablet PC for working on my art... Digital work seems more marketable.
I figured it would be a good idea to start a thread for my video game related art.
Here's my new Motion Computing LE1700. Sure, it's a little old, but it's absolutely brilliant for running Photoshop, Corel, PaintTool SAI, and Sketchbook pro. If you're looking to switch to digital media, or don't like the disconnected feel of a Wacom tablet with your PC and cant afford a Cintiq; This is perfect.
It's like an affordable Cintiq that you can actually take with you.
Some of the kids seemed pretty into it.
That Asian kid was STOKED!
