Inspired by the 400 design

i know some of us have other 'underling' consoles so i thought i'd post an image of my newly re-cased sega game gear

i chose the colours based on my appreciation for the '70s styling of the 400 - hope you like it!

hmmm, (cheap digital camera) case is mid to dark brown and the bezel is yolk yellow

The only things I see that say "400" are the four orange buttons. The green and orange clash screams at my sensitive sensibilities. But, while I don't care for it, all that matters is that you like it. It's a nice looking case, regardless of the color clash and you did a really great job re-casing it.

the bezel is a warm yellow, not green - its a shortcoming of my canon camera.

it wont use flash while the GG is powered up so heres another attempt

Ah, I see. That looks a little better, but it's probably my old eyes more than it is the camera. I'm sure the colors are much better in person. Some colors just don't reproduce well across various imaging sensors and monitors.

Nice job, though I also don't care for the colors personally, in either picture.

The first picture looks green, purple and orange to me, the second picture looks a bit more yellow, but still too green and the case looks brownish-purple. But I also know how poor cameras (like my old phone) change colors.

 

But there is nothing about it that says "70's" or "Atari 400" to me at all.

If it's brown, yellow and orange it'll look like old Atari stuff.  The camera isn't cutting it, but I can imagine it looks pretty cool.  

I actually painted my basement walls in Atari (sampled from an actual 400 at a paint store) and Braniff airline colors (didn't have an airplane), just because.
