8 bit Koopa shell

thingiverse

My girlfriend rides a really cool metallic-blue motorcycle and the previous owner had a very uncool appreciation for Batgirl. So, we modified their Batgirl license plate bracket and made this replica of the old-school 8-bit NES version of the Koopa Shell (because she likes turtles, y'know?). I shrunk down the model from 70mm height to 20mm height (pictured) and glued it on the old license plate frame sans-uncool-script. (seriously... it said "There Goes BATGIRL!"... ugh, what does that even mean?) I used a razor and the white lettering came right off. Anyways, I bought some nail polish in black, white and metallic blue and colored it in. So pretty. Now the lead bike really needs to watch out! If you found this useful, it would bring me great joy to see your work - so be sure to share. :) Or, better yet, please feel free to dump a bitcoin or two here (I'm trying to collect as many as I can before the apocalypse): 1Py3TUeR8noBN2giHyFV1GfB6x3Kh2WEVv ... include a note to the effect of "Hi 3E8, thanks for the Koopa shell thing... my life is infinitely better on account of it and please accept this small handful of bitcoins in gratitude". You're welcome! (in advance) :D Also, feel free to peruse my other submissions which are almost as varied as they are many: http://www.thingiverse.com/3E8/designs Enjoy!
