What I've been working on for the last year....Official licensed Mega Drive Scale Model

@slikvik Congrats for your product. As you seem to aim modders here in the forum ;)
May you can post a photo of the internals? Can you tell something about the material this is made? Are the switches moveable? Last but not least... tell us the pricing?

@slikvik looks fantastic! No mention on your page, will there be a North American Genesis release or are you sticking to just Mega Drive?

Hi,

I'll see if I can get some internal shots together but I'd personally prefer to wait for the production units as they'll be injection moulded. Should be pretty close to the prototypes though.

This model will be priced at £34.99.

Volume, power and cartridge mechanism all work. Spare cartridges should also be available.

Yes, we do have plans for both the Genesis and Japan Mega Drive. We're all prepped for it but need to get this one off the ground first. I hope you understand. I don't want to spread myself too thin and let people down. Other consoles (and home computers) across manufacturers are currently at the planning stages.

one word
AMAZING

cough cough that being said i must congratulate you for using the correct console model dont want no genesis here it has and always will be the SEGA MEGADRIVE :D looking forward to see how the production models turn out and i may just be one of the people that convert it to use fora pi it can sit happily next to my retroflag case outshining it :P

looks killer.

are there other models that you are planing on making, may i ask?

slikvik

@exarkuniv We absolutely are, but unfortunately that's all I can say at the moment and we need to make sure this one is a success first! :D

blackshadow

well fingers crossed for you to have some success ill be keeping an eye open for pre orders and look forward to your future models personally id love to see a model of this quality for the atari 2600(doubtful with the release of teh vcs coming up) the master system would be another that would be nice

though i think i speak for everyone when i say we need a scale megacd and 32x model to go with this :P

@slikvik

This is pretty cool. I bet this would look good on my nightstand.
If the prototype looks like this, man, I bet the finished product would look like a piece of art. Good job, man!

As beautiful as it looks, everyone around here already has their eyes closed and is thinking about cutting it open to put a Raspi in there... ;-)

It looks stunning, good luck with putting it on the market and i'm curious to see what will be next.

@Morph-X

As promised the final production model is here (and available for pre-order) so I can now show the internals and how a Pi would fit...

More details in the link but here are some photos.
