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  :D 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  :wink:

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?

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.

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.

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.

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...
