Turbo Crafts!

[Sadler]

Let's see your TG16 craft projects! I'll start.

I've posted these first two before long ago, but here's a CD holder I made in middle school:

And here's a Club Turbo I butchered as a child in an effort to make it hard covered:

/25k2zb5.jpg

Here's a clock I made long ago. This might have been a project I did in boy scouts, I really don't remember. I'm not sure what happened to the hands on the clock face.

Finally, this doesn't really count, but here's some sweet-ass TG16 CNC'd sign I bought off of ebay:

Show me what you guys have done! Either as a child or an adult, doesn't matter. I just want to see what cool stuff you guys have made!

I can't let you see it yet since I'm going through a redesign... but I'm going to make a shelving unit that will be the proper size to hold all of the boxed US game collection with additional room for unlicensed and some Japanese games. At the top of it I'm going to install a TG16 marquee with lights behind it.

Very cool! I look forward to seeing pictures when it's done! Can you give any more details on how you plan to make the marquee?

[MrFlutterPie]

I have made a few custom action figures off some of my favourite Turbo games.




Rick Taylor V.1



Rick Taylor V.2

Everything is fully articulated and fully poseable.

[Sadler]

Man, that is super cool! What did you use as the basis for the Bonk/Rick action figures?

I'm designing it using GIMP and then going to have it printed by Game On Grafix. Here is an example of their work in my recent cab that I built. The side art, control panel overlay, and marquee printed by them.

The back lighting that I'll use will just be strips of leds hooked up to a 12v power supply.

[Sadler]

Wow, that looks great! Can't wait to see how the TG16 marquee turns out!

UPDATE: Inspired by this very thread.....ha!

NOT MY WORK, but I want others to have fun making them:

Too damn cool este!

I'd like to see someone who has 3D modeling skills make some papercrafts. I found this one today
... but unfortunately it's the closest that I found concerning the TurboGrafx.

There are a bunch of TG-16-related box thingies....I had an old thread with some of them, but the links, well, I don't know if the links work still.

Search "TG-16" and  "pop culture" or something.

I accidentally had triplicate images, but I just fixed it.

CubeeCraft! Here's the TG16 stuffs.

EDIT: Actually that doesn't give you the templates. The link to the templates is sadly dead. I'll see if I can find the originals somewhere, I may still have them on my old work machine.

EDIT2: Found 'em! See this post for the templates.

Here's my awesome display of laziness, giving up after the head:

I've made a few perler bead sprites. Mostly NES characters but I plan on making some TG characters when I get the chance.

[MrFlutterPie]

This thread is so full of win!

I made the Bonk figure out of a Mighty Muggs figure and the two ricks were made out of wrestling figures.

I've thought about making some of those... I don't know what I would do with them afterwards, so I'd have to make a large scene that can be framed.

[roflmao]

I've done some Perler bead thingys too:















There are a few others I haven't gotten around to photographing, but that's most of 'em.

I also did a Gocco print run of the Alpha Suit:






Created a t-shirt based on Hellfire S:



And created a cd case for the awesome Choopsado!



That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

[NecroPhile]

CubeeCraft! Here's the TG16 stuffs.

There's Doreamon there too.  I've also found Adol and Gillian Seed, though they're a different style (not so boxy).

[bob]

i have been working on a "craft" for over a year.  but *sigh*, no fruits of my labor yet.
i keep stepping away for weeks at a time.  i need to find momentum.

[Sadler]

Damn rofl, that's some really awesome stuff! I had seen some of your perler stuff before, but wow. How did you make the t-shirt?

Link? Or are they missing now too?

What are you working on?

Here's a pretty bad pic of a very cool Bomberman dude my buddy printed for me on his 3D printer:

[NecroPhile]

Here's Doraemon: /doraemon.jpg

I can't find the other two. 

*edit*

Here's he is put together and hanging out with Bombermen:

[Sadler]

Awesome, thanks!

[esteban]

I still love ROFLMAOTSETUNG's perler bead sprites! Weren't you designing an awesome t-shirt with that Keith Courage image? I thought you silk-screened one, or something?

[bob]

i still see the damn duck in the blazing lazers ship ever since it was pointed out.
howard.

I know, me too. Crazy! Somebody has to link to that specific post. 


WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN CANNOT BE UNSEEN.

[Sadler]

Love it Nulltard! Glad to see I wasn't the only one that nerdy growing up. That's actually some damn fine work! No wonder you are so skilled at depicting Evo!

Found the original CubeeCraft TG16 characters! I put 'em on tinypic, but I have the original images if someone wants to rehost better. Please PM me!

I'll host stuff that won't get me in trouble. PM incoming.

[esteban]

Its been a while since I've gotten crafty.

...

Then at the ripe old age of 14 or 15 I upgraded to watercolor.



I should really do something crafty again sometime soon. :/

Send that to me. I'll hang it up in my living room, next to my desk!

I agree this is really well done and you did this when you were only 14-15 damn!

[esteban]

Damn.

[Gentlegamer]

I'm worthless with crafts.

The best thing I ever made was a little pac-man cut out of yellow construction paper for my great-grandmother when I was around three.

[Gentlegamer]

Then at the ripe old age of 14 or 15 I upgraded to watercolor.

I recognize that as a painting from AD&D. Is the original by Clyde Caldwell?

fake edit: found it, it is Caldwell

[Gentlegamer]

Oh, I hoped you were an old school AD&D fan.

Caldwell was a fantastic 'silver age' fantasy artist, along with Elmore and Easley.

Caldwell's Ravenloft art was cribbed for Castlevania II.

Caldwell's stuff is the best. I really like the stuff he did for ravenloft. I'm a ad&d nerd BTW. LOL Man I miss the days of THAC0

[roflmao]

Damn rofl, that's some really awesome stuff! I had seen some of your perler stuff before, but wow. How did you make the t-shirt?

The t-shirt was just an iron-on transfer.

I'm too lazy to look up the thread for the Blazing Lazers Duck, but here's the image I was working on:



I see a duck now every time I play that game!

And yeah, I was working on the Alpha Suit for a t-shirt but I just haven't gotten around to testing it out... I have all the materials so it's just a matter of motivation these days. :/

[HailingTheThings]

hah, thanks guys.  You motivated me to find a larger photo of it and it was Jan '95, so I was 15.  Doesn't look quite as nice once you can see it in full detail. (warning: large file)

I like your drawrings. :3

His looks way better than mine. (:  I took my Order of the Griffon box to school and painted it in art class.  You can tell where I had to make shit up because it was covered by text or logos.



I never even knew it had been used for Spellfire or anything other than OotG until years later, or I would have tried to find a larger and less texted/logoed print to copy from.

back on topic:

Others! Show your stuffs!

If you were that good as a freshman I'd like to see what you can do now.

Is TG-16 the site I donated that mess of TG-16 magazine adverts to? I was trying to figure that out a few days ago, as I kept the TIFs archived. I couldn't remember what site I donated them to, only that the person I donated them to complained I did not reference all the mags I scanned them from, along with cover scans from said mags. Was that you, esteban? I think I sent a CD-R or DVD-R of the scans (TIFs, 40mb or so each).

If needed again, I still have them, and in the future, I may go through them 100% proper.


*edited - For added information, the scanned ads, which weren't even all of them, as whomever I was sending them to years ago told me that X amount of info was enough. I also have a mess of TZD flyers scanned. 3.4gb of TG-16 magazine ads, TIF format. About 1gb of TZD flyers, 1gb.

Never got rid of them, after all those years, since it too time to scan, and I had the space (...and it was TG-16!!

[Ayce]

Here is a mock of the shelf I plan on building.
/2ypj0ba.jpg

The marquee at the top will be lit up by LED strips. Each shelf will also have an LED strip pointing downward on the game titles so they can be viewed in the dark. There is enough room for 184 games. This way it can account for a full US set as well as homebrew stuff and some Japanese games.

I'm going to use orange t-molding to off set all the black that will be on it... and to bring a bit of oldschool flair to the design.

Yes, that was me! Dude, how many years ago was that?

Yes, I totally asked if you could help match the scans to specific issues, because, you may have noticed, I get totally OCD when it comes to referencing stuff.

TANGENT: I've been looking for a disc that someone sent me years ago, from Puerto Rico, and I always forget to ask if it was a young Old_Rover who sent it. Why? Because he lived in PR and obviously there are only 5-6 Turbo fans in PR (j/k).

I'll be honest, any help documenting TG-16 stuff would be great. If you don't see it listed in that "big list", I'd love to add it, even if we don't have a scan yet.

I love it because it looks like a nice shelf originally designed for retail space! I wouldn't put it in my living room, of course, but I love the "retail" vibe.
