What would you do?
« on: October 14, 2008, 05:50:38 AM »
I bought a backup PC Engine (just in case anything happened to my Core Grafx II).
It was a white one with an AV mod. I say "was" because it had gone beyond yellow and into the realms of brown.
Quite frankly it was a real shocker to look at.

I figured a bit Plasticoat Enamel paint was in order and this is what I came up with.
I call it the marshmallow:


I'm guessing it's not to everyones taste.

Actually that's pretty sweet. I doubt I'd have done that, but it came out really nice.  :clap:

I'd slap myself for painting over the logo.  :P

The pink doesn't look bad, though I likely would've stuck with white paint (I'm a traditionalist).  Whatever color I'd have painted it, I would've painted the bottom half to match and maybe even the power switch.

Perhaps it wasn't intentional, but I like the double entendre of your spelling of marshmallow.

The logo was pretty much knackered on it when I got it.
There seemed to be some quite deep scratches on the top; god knows what someone was trying to do.
I am still looking for something to use as a logo.

One of the bonuses of buying this (besides it being incredibly cheap as it came with no cables etc.) is that it takes a SNES AV cable for a nice RGB output (I use my SCART cable being in the UK).

Also, sorry for not posting on here for such a long time. I go through phases of which console I play and have been playing my Japanese N64 and have put together the ultimate Japanese Mega Drive (not cheap):

The pink actually looks really nice. I don't think I would have gone for pink, but man, it turned out nice. I even like the two-tone.  :mrgreen:

That's actually very nice looking. I'd be all over that if I had 2 X chromosomes. Its for the best that you painted over the logo - it wouldn't have shown up well anyway.

maybe you can convince Missa to trade?

gundarN, why is the volume on the Mega Drive not at 100%?  I find this unacceptable.  Be warned that I do have mod powers as well as a BAN button (also functions as a BAN stick).

Hey, I didn't know you can do this. Does the paint chip after a few dings?  I'm trying to find a permanent solution to turning plastic buttons a different color.
