This is really just me doing stuff for the heck of it for my big Mall build. This was basically me having fun and making a 'ColecoVision Console' for my eventual GameStop riff... it's the smallest piece I've done, particularly with this much detail... It's 1/4" x 3/8" x 1/16" ... but it is to scale..

My goodness, how on earth do you even fold those, let alone glue them?

It wasn't too bad, but since these tests I used regular paper. Cardstock will be... interesting. Maybe when I get the Intellivision and Atari finished I should just put them up as a challenge set?

Edit: Added the SmartiVision to this... again, very tiny little console, but slightly bigger than the ClassicVision. Only one more to go... which will be in the morning.

The Mayhem 2600. Okay, this one was just masochistic. The machine is a two part box build. The main box, which is tiny already (smaller than the above) and a seperate little wedge piece to go on top. This definately comes out as a challenge build!

One thing I learned, though, is that the easiest way to approach these tiny pieces is to score them before cutting them out.

LOL: have you sent your resume to CMDF?
[no cheating looking that one up!]

EDIT: Just as a rule of thumb I score all my stuff before cutting them, anyway.

But why? lol

To see if he can. Why else?

There is a line between hobby and obsession that some people cross without realizing. (What's concerning to me about this is not whether or not Jaynz might be heading over that line, but that I consider a 1/4" x 3/8" x 1/16" kitbash to be a perfectly normal example of hobbyist fun! ... Hmmm?)

[P.s.: Oh dear, with this post I just hit my 3000th post here. Maybe that line is a bit further back than I thought! )

Congratulations...COMMANDER.

Double congrats!

Aye, Aye, Commander - SIR! Whatever you say, SIR! ... Congrats on your new Lifetime Achievement Award!
[Why don't we have a 'Salute' icon?]

Congradulations Zen a mighty achievement sir!!!!

Yeah, draw that line.

Epiphany: Has anyone considered the futility of drawing a "line in the sand" when the Sand erases all things?

That's the great thing about drawing it in sand, after a while no one can see where it was drawn - that and you can move it whenever you want

p.s. Thanks for the congrats, guys

congratulations on 3000+ Kiwi Zenguy.

Today's update was being the store front and the first page (of two) of props. I'm not entirely happy with the store front, but it's servicable. When I move the mall over to TLX I'm definately going to take a new approach to the walls and signage.... probably make signs that go over more generic walls or something.

Also updated my mini consoles to make them TLX prop compliant, and made a more 'store accurate' counter. Lastly made the three console display props. This just leaves the display racks and back display for the second prop page.

Looking good jaynz.
just add an eftpos/credit card machine to the cash register, then she is complete.

It's tiny, and a flat graphic on the service counter near where the register would go.

Edit: Soooo many carts in these. There are actually three racks, but I forgot to get a shot of the Smartivision rack before I seated it.

Okay, store's done! Not entirely happy with the test build. I think I should ditch one of the console displays and combine the screens with the base into one unit to save some difficult as well as some paper. Otherwise, not too shabby. The beige counter and shelves look a lot better and I can see their use in other things a lot more than the olive ones.

I like the graphic detail of the bottles of 'windex' under the counter...

Thanks. I'm going to struggle on how to submit this one. I'll likely have to genericize the carts and console boxes a bit more before they can be put up by WWG. The design of the props, I think, are pretty solid this time out, though.

Next step... revisit Golden Dragon.
