GameBoy Advance SP

I'm at home at the moment and was going through some boxes last week and found my old Gameboy, so promptly forgot about modelling for a few days and started playing through my old games again.
Yesterday afternoon I finished Zelda: The Minnish Cap, (a game in which everyone is happy to let a schoolboy run around with a sword and shield fighting the worlds most power sorcerer when there is an entire army of professional soldiers standing about) and thought I'd model something related. I pondered making some props from the game, but then thought I'd do something a bit more universal: hence the gameboy.





It's a good job I didn't decide to model something from each game I played, I'd probably end up having to make a Pikachu or the worlds most detailed Tetris block.

Dune Buggy completed

I finished the dune buggy, decided to make the engine properly in the end and am quite pleased with the way it turned out, but might re-visit it sometime to improve it.
I also put together a realistic material setup for it, and remade the seat , all of which I think has added to the look. I'll add some more pics up when I've done some renders.

Dune Buggy progression

Added a few more bits this evening, sort of a spot-the-difference update. Will complete the engine tomorrow, am not really sure what to do with it, model all the detail (time consuming) or put it in a protective box (would feel like cheating after all the other detail I've put in).
Answers on a postcard.

Dune Buggy

Now I'm settled at home again (for anyone who doesn't know, home is a tiny village in Somerset with a few houses and nothing else, not even a shop) I've found myself with some free time, and decided to finish the dune buggy I began in November.
Starting again yesterday I hit a rich vein of enthusiasm and have finished the main body of the buggy, leaving only a few parts to add on tomorrow (seat, steering wheel, engine, all rather vital to a car now I think about it).

The wacky colours are just for me while I'm building it, I'll create a proper texture set for it once the rest of the model is done.
