If you don't think that's impressive, you should make one that is. :o

Paint a 2DS and make a repro box? Yea that's a lot of work.

That's what I'm saying. If this is easy, then it should be easy money for you. I'd buy one if the price were right.

Wiggy,
If you're still looking for how to sell this - please consider a auction with profits going to Child's Play. I think this could bring in some bank for the charity. :D

It's not a simple paint job, it's custom molded buttons, reengineered case, etc etc.

No one said it was easy. I just said i wasn't impressed. This just seems to be over hyped in my opinion by all the Hypebeasts. I'm not knocking his line of work, but it's really not special.

Wiggy you look and sound so different I expected!!!

I'm actually a 350lb black woman who wears an eye patch. That was just my "average white guy" costume :P
--- Quote from: FritzWhite on October 26, 2013, 04:55:36 PM ---Nice hat!
--- End quote ---
Haha, thanks! I've got like 3 of em. I tend to wear hats out pretty quickly, so I keep em stocked up.
--- Quote from: FritzWhite on October 26, 2013, 05:06:49 PM ---I've been wanting a 2ds and this is almost perfect to me.
I say this with the highest respect for your work as it is, but is it possible to do a lighter shade of green on the buttons and hinge? They seem kind of dark pine green; when I think of Luigi I think of bright green like on the box.
I thought the Luigi outline imprinting on the back was a nice touch and was wondering how that would look if the Luigi outline was painted in green to match the buttons and hinge.
Very cool

The original plan was plain ol' Luigi colors, but that didn't really hold my interest, so we went with the dark metallic green and off-white. I could do bright green and bright white, just wasn't unique enough IMO.
--- Quote from: Kriegspire on October 26, 2013, 05:12:33 PM ---Yeah, that 2ds luigi looks incredible.

Thanks!

If you think that's all I did, then you're sorely mistaken. Not to mention that this was built within about a week of launch.

Did you watch the vid? That's pretty much the plan as it stands ;)
Though we can't afford to give 100% away :-\

You don't have to be impressed, but trying to diminish the amount of work that it took is quite ignorant.

Diminish? Repeat to me where I diminished your work? Paint the console, which you did. Made a Repro box, which you did. Facts right? Sorry if I forgot to add in silicone mold of buttons, but that hardly seems like much work since housewives do that in their spare time. (I admit that last sentence was slightly diminishing just as an example as to what a diminishing statement is.)."Its not special" is hardly diminishing. It's an opinion. We are all entitled to our own opinions so to say another person's opinion is "quite ignorant" is actually quite judgmental.
