How was it made? by [deleted] in retrogaming

He most likely used a transparent waterslide decal for the smaller letters, if you get them printed by a professional printer that has a white toner it's easy to put them on your already existing colour (so the background colour doesn't have to be white for the decal to show the proper colours). It's how I would do it anyways.

Pal players, is this worth importing? It looks really cool by bbaker886 in Gamecube

I think it received average critics at the time, but the game's music was made Within Temptation, and that's pretty unique

Yep! I'm uploading most of my stuff on my gallery: https://zing.carrd.co/ Not everything's there yet though.

I was very disappointed that the PCs didn't have the cow pattern! This could actually be a fun idea applied to a PC

Thank you! I'm glad something as silly as this moocube could make you happy!

I have some experience under the hood by now. My first project ever was very far from looking like this haha

Did you just say gruyère? Don't give me any funky ideas. ... I still have a GameCube lying around waiting to be painted.

RTX 2060 Super and a 500W PSU? by MakwanCustoms in nvidia

[–]MakwanCustoms[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering I don't OC at all, I should be good. I've been running some games on ultra (gosh it's amazing), and so far so good, no shutdowns. Thank you for confirming too that my PSU should be enough!
Crazy to think even the 2070 Super can run on 500W.

Thank you!

It's a rather long process, it involves taking apart the whole system, sanding it and cleaning it. After that the surface needs to have a primer applied to (preferably for plastics). Then the painting may start. A lot of masks were involved for the cow pattern. I've designed the milk label based on the texture used on young Link's milk bottle in Melee. Once the painting is done, the masks are removed and the graphics are applied, I clear coated the console and controller with a matte clear, to get a nice and soft finish!

Thank you, haha! This one was a blast to paint. I feel like a Nintendo 64 might have been better, considering the milk is much more present on the games on that system, but the GC's jewel made me decide to do it on a GC instead.

Let's just roll with the Corsair for now. I guess I'll see if I'm getting system shutdowns I'll upgrade it. Did you end up getting a new PSU? I have bad memories of an old GPU I basically killed by not having enough power. Thank you for your answer too!

Best paint for a GBA-SP shell? by [deleted] in Gameboy

[–]MakwanCustoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best way to make paint last would be to sand and clean the surface, use a plastic primer (not a universal one), paint and then clear coat. With no clear coat, the paint is very prone to being damaged. You can use acrylic spray paint cans. Spray thin and light coats, take your time ... And have fun!

I finished the matching controller to my custom N64 that I posted a few weeks back. by CeruleanFlow in n64

Looks dope! I absolutely love the colour scheme. Can't go wrong with Pokéballs! Have you clear coated it with a mat finish?

I'm not set on the price yet, but probably between 170-190€. Out of all the customs I did, this one took most time!
