Pokedex DS Case

[Bush]

For a commission, I am modding a DS carrying case to look like a pokedex (http://cloud.appcelerator.net/15dc4ae1- ... kedex1.png). The inspiration for this mod came from my first mod, the Nintendex (IGNORE it's crappiness!) which can be found in my signature. I'm currently uploading a video with the work I've done so far.

Edit: Here's video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1NGRa6B ... ideo_title

Today I started making the blue and white "eye". I'll put another vid up with more progress.

I'm looking forward to updates! I've been checking the thread a few times a day.

 

[Bush]

Sorry, painting things is slow. I'm working on some of the accents right now.

 

[kringlur]

I know it all takes a while, I'm just excited. Don't feel like you're being rushed.

 

[Bush]

Sorry for lack of updates, handcutting and painting is slow. All the plastic pieces are cut and almost all are painted; just need to affix to case and reapply rubber.

 

[kringlur]

Cool! I've still been checking almost every day, if you took any photos I'd like to see them.

 

[Bush]

I'll upload photos soon, sorry for slowness; I've been sick for about two weeks and school has kept me busy. Nearly done though.

Thanks for the video!

 

[Bush]

Sorry for slowness, I repainted the case, now I'm putting on a clearcoat. After that I'll just need to put all the accents on.

 

[Bush]

Clearcoat is on, letting it set. May do another coat.

Pics..... anytime soon?

 

[Bush]

Ill take some later, but it looks the same as in those two videos above.

I just bought a DS game, while I can't say it's the first I've bought it'll be the first I play on my own system once this is finished, hahaha.

 

[Bush]

Ok, nearly done. I'm currently gluing the last pieces on. I have had to repaint the case many times, sorry it took so long. When it's done, I'll upload some pics/video, and you can tell me if you want any more accents added to it.

 

[kringlur]

Okay, cool. And no problem! I said in the beginning there's no rush, so there's no rush.

 

[Bush]

Ok, been in and out of town, sorry for the delay. Here is what I have so far; do you want any more accents?

 

[kringlur]

Could you make the white circle have the blue "eye"?

Actually, I'm really sorry about all this hard work, but I was thinking about it for a while and now I think it's better to just be without the screen, thumbpad, and yellow thing - to make it just look like the outside top-part of the case. Is it too late to change that? If it is, don't worry about it. Really sorry to spring this on you so late.

 

[Bush]

I actually was working on the eye, but the paint got messed up, so I didn't have a chance to put it on. I can definitely take everything else off and make it look like the top if thats what you mean.
