By the way, FYI - GDC resumed some efforts to get "case kit" for GTA04: http://lists.goldelico.com/pipermail...ne/005717.html
Maybe a next target for you?
Spacer 'tween screen and body? ...good.

Hmmm ..GTA04 body?....easier than the n900 body.
Yup. It can be done.
Alot more room for embellishment too.
Hmmm....ya...as example the n900... I have one... so I was able to roll over the n900 in my hands see it in my head ....then work and shave away and carve away that part in less than 2 days...then the finicky work really began.
With everything I do...a 1st hand model is easiest and quickest for me ...I'm tactile rather than schematic when it comes directly to carving....especially fitting things together ....regardless of how much a jigsaw nightmare it is.
If I have an example of whatever... to work with ...and enough antler material...whatever can be made with any other material..I can make..... whatever is desired...
Then make a mold from it ...casts...away you go..
.Always best... is the fewest parts (esp moving ones)...the simplest design...tends to last the longest.
Hmmm I remember seeing a youtube vid of a gta04 (?) I think in a wood body...clever...simple...good idea for a soul who has some skill....and enough drive. Whatever works in a pinch.


Yup make a master...which then could be taken and cast into resins or plastic...or whatever...
I love a good project.
Ya ...I could do it...
I could make a model case for the gta04...
1000x easier than the N.C.S. part for sure.
I would need a junker tho' ..
doesn't matter if it works or not..
.just gotta have all the physic. that is to be expected...
.I could make a plain master model case right quick..
.hmm...could carve the SHR symbol / pattern on the case.....
ooooooh ....could do alot of cool things.

Hmm...ok got the Gorillaz cranked (what ?!...figure I ONLY listen to classical? heehee...)....got the essential work-beer....goin back to the bench..stuff to think about.
