Project: Legend of Zelda

[TheGreatSatan]

I added a single 120mm Green LED intake fan

And two 120mm green LED fans to the top

I've been looking into the paint job thus far and it looks good, but it's starting to seem a bit too sporty for me. It's not looking very much like something to do with Zelda. I want it to look sleek, but rougher, so I put down a coat of texture paint that gives the appearance of rock and then I repainted it green on top. I did this only for the panels because the procedure to retape the whole case would be too great and it still looks good as is

Here's the right side with the rock paint and the swords and shield mounted

Next I'll be adding this to the top of the case

Tear, I miss that game. My mom sold our NES years back at a garage sale.
New texture on the side panels looks good!

I'm a bit confused on how to finish this left panel. I can't get the E-L-D-A on the case. I tried painting it on, but it just looked stupid, so I painted over it. I was going to order plexi letters, but you can only specify the length, not width you need.

I may just cut my own

So, I'm changing the direction and I'm going to incorporate the Hyrule castle into the mod too. I'll be using various square stones to show the look of the outside of a castle around the case.

The ending letters E-L-D-A wll be encased in this castle material.

On to the game

I drew out my cutting line

And carefully cut out the slot

And that's it. I just have to go back and clean up the hole

On to the TriForce symbol

I drew out the logo onto the 80mm sliver of Aluminum

And carefully cut it out

Then I used the same yellow H2O paint from my Clowned mod years ago

Then I cut out an 80mm hole

The logo is smaller than the hole and I want it to appear as though it's hovering in place, so I cut out thin strips of heavy-weight plastic

And glued it from the inside

Once it dried I realized that it looked really stupid with the green behind it

I borrowed some mesh from an old side panel

I cut it out and placed it over the green intake

And I put it all back together again

Yep, it looks like it's hovering alright

LOL i LOVE the cartridge in the top of the case, that's awesome! Nice mod so far. Cool case mod!

[TheGreatSatan]

Thanks. I have more coming, but I'm stuck waiting for shipments

[CorsePerVita]

Gotta love waiting on parts

[TheGreatSatan]

I bought these cool wood squares

Then painted them the same Nickel color I've been using on everything else

And coated them with the rock paint

Now on to the rest of the letters. I tried ordering these instead, but every place just lets you order the height, not width. I'm cutting them out instead

And it's a long careful process

And then one hour later, I was done

I painted them to match the wood squares

And then I mounted everything to the side panel

Once it dried I signed the inside panel

I got another Zelda logo for the top too

NICE! Coming Together VERY nicely!

Completion!
