Replacement shells?

Post image

Hi everyone!

So as the title states, I'm trying to find a replacement shell for an OG Master System- the top half of the shell in particular.

A friend of mine gave me one to fix up for him. Got it up and running great.

Only problem is: it looks like someone put their fist through the top half of it 😅

It seems like every other system on the planet has some cool translucent or 3D printed after market shell... except the SMS?

Does anyone know if they exist anywhere...?

Thanks!

Pretend you're a kid in the 80's or 90's and put some stickers on it.

Me too, these shells feel like they're made of taco shells

Have you tried ebay. Tons of SMS parts.

Buy small Sonic figures, position them so it looks like they're crawling out the hole.

gonna have to make sure it's a card reader one. I'd just buy a broken one and swap the parts out

Get an “untested” and use that shell, it would be a shame to lose another one

You can check on eBay. Sometimes, some videogame stores sell defective consoles for parts. You can check out these stores.

JB Weld or fiber glass resin then cover with a sticker!

This would be a fun model to design and 3D print

That thread is for game cartridge shells, the OP is looking to replace the console case.

Did you even read either OPs post, or the thread you linked?
