Fanwerk: Mini-Midgar auf PS1-Konsole gebaut

[Zero_Alpha]

Das Hobby von MakoMod in zuweilen extravagant. Er modelliert gerne Konsolen um, sodass sie am Schluss wie eigene Kunstwerke aussehen. Das aktuelle Projekt des spanischen Modellierers ist die Replik eines Miniatur-Midgars aus Final Fantasy VII auf der ersten Version der PlayStation 1.

Auf DeviantArt, Twitter und im TheLifestream.net-Forum präsentierte er Bilder seiner bislang noch unfertigen Arbeit. Derzeit werkle er an den Slums und der Kirche in Sektor 5, die sich unterhalb des sich abnehmbaren Midgars befinden. Zudem soll die Stadt vermehrt bemalt werden und wichtige Charaktere in Form von winzigen Figuren hinzu kommen.

Die verwendete Technik nennt sich "Cold Casting", bei der Aluminiumpuder und synthetisches Resin in einem Verhältnis von 50:50 vermischt werden.

MakoMod hat explizit um konstruktives Feedback gebeten, ein Kommentar in englischer oder spanischer Sprache auf den oben genannten Webseiten wäre ihm sicherlich viel wert.





Vor einem Monat haben wir euch MakoMods Casemodding-Projekt, eine Midgar-Miniatur auf der ersten Version der PlayStation 1 zu bauen, vorgestellt. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt befanden sich die Arbeiten in der finalen Phase und sind nun zu einem Abschluss gekommen. Kleine Details wurden bemalt und Lichtschläuche verkabelt, die die Replik bei Dunkelheit wie von Makoenergie angetrieben in gedimmten Grün erstrahlen lassen.

Den nach Monaten fertiggestellten Casemod wird MakoMod die kommenden Tage auf Ebay versteigern. Der neue Besitzer sollte sich auf einen auf Midgar bestens passenden, massiven Bau einstellen, denn das Material besteht zu 50% aus Aluminiumpuder.

Unterhaltet euch mit MakoMod über seine Arbeit in unserem Forum und teilt ihm auf Englisch oder Spanisch mit, wie euch Mini-Midgar auf der PS1 gefällt!

Haha das ist ja cool

Diese Casemodder. ^^

Ein sehr schönes Stück Kunst. Mal sehen was er auf ebay dafür bekommt.

[Zero_Alpha]

Ich wusste gar nicht, dass es dafür einen eigenen Markt gibt, Valvados. oO

Ich finde die Replik auch schön, ziemlich detailliert, da stecken sicher viele Arbeitsstunden drin.

Für die News hat sich MakoMod auf Deutsch bedankt und den Artikel via Google Translate gelesen. Fand ich ganz toll! ^^

[Vanillexp]

Aww das ist ja süß :3 Wie lieb

Ja, Googleübersetzer ist süß.

Ich find gemoddete Konsolen geil, egal ob nur LED-Case oder sowas extrem krasses wie hier ^^

Ja und den Tweet über den Artikel hat er auch noch retweetet. ^^

Case Modding
Hauptsächlich im PC Bereich an zu finden, aber manchmal nehmen sie sich die eine oder andere Konsole als Kunstbasis vor. x)
Haben auch auf der gamescom einen eigenen Stand. Da stehen PC's in den kuriosten Ausführungen wie z.B. ein Aquarium oder ein Auto-Motor.

auf der gamescom ist ja auch deutsche casmod meisterschaft und die dinger werden da binnen 3tagen gebaut und da wird auch nicht selten mal die flex oder das schweißgerät für angeschmissen

[Nußkati]

Aww, haben will ^^ ich finde das klasse

Hallo! I just want to thanks CetraConnection for being the first webpage that gives info about my current (and first) work of console modding.
And thank you to it's users for your interest on the work

[Vanillexp]

Well thanks for sharing this pretty piece of art with us MakoMod :3

[Zero_Alpha]

Oh my, this picture is so fantastic!! ¡Muchas gracias!, MakoMod, for your appreciation!

I’m sorry, I can’t speak Spanish, so your German is sure better than my fragments of Spanish vocabulary. ^^

I saw your photo postings in a thread on the board of TheLifestream, which surely has the greatest FF VII fan base worldwide, and I thought it would be nice to share your work with other FF VII fans like here on a German website dedicated to this title.

It is astonishing that this Midgar replica is your first work as a case modifier. There are so many details, your crafting skills must be pretty good! To date, how long have you been working on it? Did you practice and improve your skills on other projects before?

I have seen your first version of Midgar, which you made out of clay, on another board. Is it necessary to imagine the size you have to make with the real materials? Wasn’t it hard for you to destroy it with a meteor of clay? xD

Thanks for visiting our website! As you can see on twitter and facebook, your work is praised because of its detailed style. I hope, you get many new fans of your project due to some news marketing.

it`s a very very good work

i love it

Hello again!

- Zero_Alpha: Thanks to you for your support! And for writing in english... I know only about 200 words of German (from Duolingo and Babbel apps), but actually is not enough... by far haha

This is my first work of this kind. Previously I did not made nothing similar. Only some manga drawings, and at school things like an Optimus Prime made of paper (papercraft as it is know now), and I remember also a 3 floor building made of ice cream sticks. I had the best cualification in both cases :$

But nothing before something like this.

I am working around eight months since first plans and first researches of techniques and materials. Around two hours at day, not every day.

When I made the "clay prototype" (sounds too much good for what ir really was ), what I really wanted is to see if it is possible to attach a Midgar on the lid, and outer plates on the main body of the console, and specially, what to do with mako reactor (goes with lid, or stay with outer plates?).

The clay meteor... haha Sometimes, it is necessary to destroy in order to build a new and better thing And it was funny

Thanks for your wishes! Is thanks to pages and people like you that my work is being know out there

Last pictures, from minutes ago:









Tschüss!!

[Nußkati]

Stop posing with it or tell us the price
It doesnt look like a "first work", really well done! You are welcome to make a workshop with us :3

Haha, thank you, but actually is not my intention to make advertising here. Just want to share pictures and talk about, seriously

If finally I decide to sell it (will be not an easy decision), I will advertise it (and talk about selling) through other channels that I think are more appropiated

And now, the last (big) picture before the project become finished. Maybe you can see a microscopic Cloud by the train at sector #1



Gute nacht!

Hello again! within a week I hope to have completely finished the project. Before that, I'll leave a video for those of you interested in the creative process:

Regards!

Hi! I just want to show you the finished project (yeah, I finally made it! ). I wish that you find it interesting, and now is time to work seriously on my second project

Greetings!

[Zero_Alpha]

Wow, congratulation, MakoMod! Now it's done and it looks great! I can even see little lights of green mako energy implemented, hehe. I think I will post another article about this, many fans liked your work in progress.

So, after so many hours of work, you will sell your case mod. Was this a difficult decision for you?

What will be your next project? Is it really JENOVA in Nibelheim's mako reactor?

[Vanillexp]

The dry ground effect is also very nice. That's a pretty cool Detail about Midgar.
Excellent work :)

I realy like your work. It's so pretty, realy a little Midgar, you could think in the streets run little Cloud and Co.
It has so much details, all details that a Midgar need.
Do you think you make more little Midgars?
So can it have much more people and not only one.
Yes, I know its an unique, but....I want it too
Anyway, it's a famouse work from you. Thank you for it.
I think it cost you a lot of time, isn't it?
But the reasult is very cool, realy like Midgar and with the green light...you colt realy think it works.
Here are some otber questions from me:

How came you of the idea for it?
What did you juse?
Has you any wishes for the new owner?
What do you think own it?
Did you make it all on your own?

I'm happy about your answers
And now, have a nice day

Hi Zero_Alpha! Thank you! Actually, it has been a "progressive decision". Not at the beginning, but now I fully think that it's better to sell it, to a person that really loves this work, and who take care of it.
Yes!, I'm now working on "Jenova Doll" and "Impaled Midgar Zolom"

Red XIII: Was not easy to take the decision of "dirt" the perfectly (inmaculated) painted surface, haha

Angel of Light: By now I'm not planning to make more units. It was a lot of work anmd time, and now I'm currently working in new projects. But, maybe in the future I will do, I don't know, haha

I had the idea just when watching an awesome mod from a belgian modder called Vadu Amka. I wanted to do also nice things.

It is made by clay modeling and cold casting techniques.

My wish is that he take care of the work!

Yes, but a friend helped me with lighting (electrical part)

Thanks!
