Found the M2 moulds

I think it does exist because there have been one or two famicom clones that used it. Also there is one mock system.

 

two famiclones that used the Neptune mold, hmm? any pictures you'd like to share?

 

I think the famiclones had a few minor differences.

 

too bad but gratulations that find anyways dont even wanna imagine the sherlock holmes like search or combination to find such amazing things

did u get pictures of the moldings and can maybe share ?

 

That is a pretty sweet find

Now if we could only find a factory storage room that had enough boards to till a few hundred of the m2 shells...then we could be talking

Does anyone have ANY idea how many of the console style m2 units were produced? I know the fz-35 was produced in a relatively decent quantity, but I've never heard how many of the black console style units were actually made

 

Very intriguing and surely one great find. If not as useful by itself all things considered. Case moulds without motherboard blueprints to build more M2 systems to put in them is sort of halfway there.

 

I don't have any to hand but they have been posted on this forum before. If I remember rightly, they were white. As Cyantist pointed out though, the famiclones did have slight changes in the design but still basically the Neptune.

I believe it was this

 

Can we pour jelly into them (or Jell-O for you guys across the pond)? Mmmm, M2 shaped jelly, get in mah belly!

 

No that's a model 3

 

gee... model 3 is that ugly? never did own one, heh.

 

Yes, i remember the topic where it was mentioned:

I had the vague idea that someone said the mockup was made of wood, thats why i thought it was unlikely a mould would exist. In that topic it is mentioned that the mock is made of solid plastic, so it probably does exist then.

Is it me, or doesn't that famiclone look like the neptune at all?

 

In other news someone other at Chris Senn's website is working on creating a clay mould of a neptune that plastic shells could be made out of.

Trust me guys that's a model 3 Genesis.

 

Dont they have some boxes with the internals too?:lol:

 

I thought it was not made of wood but had wood in place of any internals.

 

Wasn't that project abandoned already? While searching for neptune mods, i found one that really looks good.

And what a competition that was. Sounds like the special olympics of games.

 

It exists, from what I've read two moulds were made but but they never functioned due to being nothing more than empty shells...
