    Seen the offer for the Zelda disc that features 4 classic games, including Zelda II (My personal favorite)? You can get it free by registering your 'cube and 2 games on nintendo.com. I might buy a game cube just so I can play a version where the save feature and controllers still work. :D

    //on topic
    Seems you've run out of time for painting for this year. :( Maybe you can find a spray shop that will let you use their facilities after hours or something.

    SARIA:
    Great! You're safe! I knew I would hear from you again! I'm in the Forest Temple! The forest spirits were calling for help, so I went to check it out...But it's full of evil monsters!
    Help me, Link!


    SHEIK (IN FRONT OF FOREST TEMPLE):
    The flow of time is always cruel... Its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that doesn't change with time is a memory of younger days... In order to come back here again, play the Minuet of Forest.
    (learn Minuet of Forest)
    Link... I'll see you again...


    --------------------------------------------------

    Time for a update, eh :D

    Today I worked on removing the top and bottom of the case from the frame, by drilling out the rivets.

    [​IMG]

    And thats the finished result. Since I had never drilled out rivets before, I learned a few things. At first I used a size too small drill bit and that made things a lot harder - bumped up a notch and they came out very easily (I only wish I had used the bigger one for more of the rivets, Doh!)

    Finally got the riveter in the mail from harbour freight (they sent the wrong thing the first time, so it took forever to get here)

    [​IMG]

    I've never used a riveter as well haha, so it'll definately be a learning experiance (albiet not so hard haha)

    I guess since i've had such a lack of updates, I should probally give away a small secret that isnt completed yet. For the case's side panel door latches I wanted to give it a feeling of link's boots (you know, brown, with a gold buckle). During summer/fall I had this idea, and since it wouldnt be hard to do outside of the other painting, I took care of painting them brown

    [​IMG]

    I just need to get a gold paint pen (maybe? or maybe some of the testors model paint, i'm still sort of deciding - what do you guys think would work better?) and finish off the buckle - but I think they'll look awesome, and the paintjob turned out very nice, with much better color than the picture shows it as

    Allrighty, thats all i have for this update - I hope to have another one soon, there's a few more things I can do indoors :D

    great case :thumb:

    about the paint, use testors, the gold should coveer in 1 or 2 coats and it has a real good color. it paints on real nice cuz its a thick paint and it flows good. but thats my $.02

    keep up the good work :dremel:

    This is an awesome project, man. Can't wait to see it finished. I'm suprised nobody has mentioned spiritual stones yet. Will you use them in some way? I'm guessing that's a secret... :lol:

    that drive cage doesn't look like cold weather damage but more like what happens when you mix 2 different types of spray paint. happened on my last project. Anyways keep up the good work.. I think I'll spend a lil time on my case today.

    GANONDORF, WHEN LINK DEFEATS PHANTOM GANON:
    Hey kid, you did quite well... It looks like you may be gaining some slight skill... But you have defeated only my phantom... When you fight the real me, it won't be so easy! What a worthless creation that ghost was! I will banish it to the gap between dimensions!!

    SARIA, IN CHAMBER OF SAGES:
    Thank you... Because of you, I could awaken as a Sage...
    I am Saria. The Sage of the Forest Temple...
    I always believed that you would come. Because I know you...
    No... You don't have to explain it to me... Because it is destiny that you and I can't live in the same world. I will stay here as the Forest Sage and help you... Now, please take this Medallion...
    (You received the Forest Medallion! Saria awakens as a Sage and adds her power to yours!)

    Alright, time for a small update - its been too long not to do one

    I just got a new mouse, an Microsoft Intelli-Mouse Optical. I chose it for the price, back/forward buttons, and modability, beige is nice to work with. I plugged it in for about 5 minutes to test, and then it was immediately taken apart haha.

    [​IMG]

    I'm probally going to swap the leds out with a different color, but the shell is what i've been thinking most of.

    I have two color combos in mind, so i photochopped up examples


    [​IMG]
    Black with green


    [​IMG]
    green with black

    What do you guys think would look better?
    Also, anyone know of a good place to get stickers/decals on the web? I only need a few done, one being for the triforce i chopped onto the mouse, and a few other case related.

    another reason for the stickers/decals would be for the underside of the mouse

    [​IMG]

    like a life meter :D, with just the white part, the red part of the heart would be clear, so you could see the red underneath.

    *thumbs up*
    thats all I have for this update, unfortunatly
    but eh, it's better than nothing haha

    Definetly the black mouse! I suppose you could always just print out the logos onto sticker paper and put varnish over the top, if you can't find somewhere to do them for you.
