I move way too frequently to even consider that notion.

However, when I finally settle down, I will have a room with an R-Type wall, thanks to this thread.

Tatsujin · 04/07/2013, 11:20 PM

Ever considered an entry into the guinnes book of records?
or at least into the video game version of that

That's amazing! When do you think it will be finished?

dingsbums · 04/11/2013, 07:02 AM

On Pegboard

On the wall

Everything now white have to be black and then I'm done with this thing

@Tatsujin
I never thought about as doing this thing as a world record => it was just something that I would like to see in a game room

. But around two months ago I showed it to a very good friend and one of the first things he said was - "that's a world record". This was the first time I googled a little bit around on this subject and found this:

/obamac.jpg

Quote on the Obama bead picture: .... 372 600 pearls .....

I will also be somewhere around that mark, but that's estimated by me because I never kept exact record of how much beads I have used. And counting that many beads is NOT something I really want to do. + the requirements on the Guinness Records site you have to do to get your record officially approved also turn me off

. So at the moment I have no idea
what to do

.
I know one thing: It should be finished first

.

Tatsujin · 04/11/2013, 08:55 AM

can't you just count one horizontal and one vertical line and then multiply them for the approx. used quantum of pearls?

dingsbums · 04/11/2013, 09:17 AM

The problem in your sentence is: ... approx. used quantum of pearls ...

For a world record the number have to be EXACT.

And you could calculate the number like you said IF ..... IF the walls where straight. But since this is a cellar room built in the mid 1960's the walls are NOT straight at all

. So the only way to get a exact number would be to count them one by one - and I really have not the biggest desire to do that

I ran out of black beads

jeffhlewis · 04/13/2013, 12:07 PM

how are you adhering those boards to the wall?

dingsbums · 04/13/2013, 01:43 PM

With this glue

jeffhlewis · 04/13/2013, 02:42 PM

Don't ever move!

Of course if I was buying your house, seeing that in the basement would cause me to buy it immediately, haha.

LameKat · 04/13/2013, 04:48 PM

Great thread I've missed. That R-type is amazing!!!
Here are some my son and I made awhile back, not as impressive.

That is some thing "to quote aquaman outrageous !!!"

Tatsujin · 05/07/2013, 05:34 AM

I have one essential question. Which version/picture did you take as a template for this perler masterwork?

I'm asking because there are certain differences to f.e. the arcade scenery. f.e. the purple shades inthere, which are not in the pixel original. Also there are certain other locs which are looking a bit different (green emerald in the tail, eyes e.g.).

Sorry for asking, I am just curious about

dingsbums · 05/08/2013, 02:54 PM

@ all
Thank you.

@ Tatsujin
The template was a MAME screenshot of R-Type. I fitted the shot to my wall measurements (which means I squeezed it in height & stretched it in lenght). And yes I know there a (minor) differences but you have to remember that not every colour that is exactly needed for the R-Type shot is available as bead colour = I had to improve a little bit. And it's no problem if you are curious

.

esadajr · 05/08/2013, 05:45 PM

a labor of love, no doubt

Psycho Punch · 05/08/2013, 05:57 PM

So you're the R-Type wall guy from ASSEMbler?

Awesome work by the way.

Tatsujin · 05/08/2013, 07:02 PM

No, he's the R-Type wall guy from Pcenginefx.

Here's a little Turbografx-16 logo I put together one evening while playing with the lil one.

WHY DO I WANT TO EAT THIS? Did you tap into the Hostess Chocolate Cupcake gene? I WANT TG-16 Chocolate Cupcake, and it must be completely artificial and chemical-laden, like those beloved Hostess products.

TheClash603 · 05/11/2013, 09:02 AM

Do you remember these Esteban?

best hostess product ever. I am happy they were out when i was a kid and had a higher metabolism. I still have the whole set of trading cards that came with the pies!

OMG! I've had the pudding pies, but I know I would remember eating a GLOWING GREEN one. I definitely saw all the Turtle products in the store, but I never ate one of those crazy things. I was pretty damn traditional when it came to my HOSTESS PREFERENCES.

Aggie Tsubi · 05/15/2013, 11:32 PM

Amazing work on the R-Type wall, and I really dig the TG-16 logo too.

Mr. Zurkon · 05/17/2013, 08:02 PM

That R-Type wall is seriously badass! Amazing work, love all the other bead art in this thread too, makes me want to go to the local craft store and buy a bunch of beads to create characters with

esteban · 05/18/2013, 01:41 PM

There's, what, at least 20-30 pounds of beads glued to his wall? Or am I overestimating?

Tatsujin · 05/18/2013, 08:59 PM

MOAR!

I spent the evening playing with beads.

I currently only have 16 colors of beads (including black and white) so I have found a new appreciation for the color palette the TG/PCE has.

Tatsujin · 10/11/2013, 04:12 AM

nice ones rolf

somehow I would like to revolutionize that whole bead thingens.

1. renctangle instead of round formed beads
2. a true selection of original 8-/16-bit color schemes/palette according the preferred systems f.e. NES, PCE, MD, SFC, even Arcade etc. (any colors available on demand -> special orders etc.)
3. holes only on the back side -> will be tricky for the bonding i know, therefore..
4. glueable from the back -> when the picture is finished, a temporary harden glue sheet will be put over front to hold the beads together. the beads then can be swapped to the back and will be fixed together again with a permanent and strong gluesheet. the temp. gluesheet then can be removed and the front gets a clear glue paint job over the whole surface.

..or so.

Nando · 10/11/2013, 10:11 AM

Well damn, these are nice!
