exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Thought I'd make a general blog for my general Atari journey.
Lots of projects lots of randomness.
Also any art I make on my 800 and my ste.

I ordered an Atari neon sign that sadly did not survive the transit.


Thankfully the company is sending replacement tubes.

I've hung the empty frame above my setup in the mean time.

I don't want to disparage the US postal service but it looks like they literally kick things to their destination :)

At first glance I thought it was a badly frosted cake...

You have my sympathy.

Yeah honestly the box looks like they ran it over with the truck 😅

Finally found some of the old pics I did on my Atari 800 during one of my streams:

You have mine too. Although on the positive side, it looks like the repairs to your STE's case are going well. The corner looks well patched.

Cool pics

Yup! I dissolved some spare abs plastic in acetone and filled in any large cracks and holes let it dry and did a quick sanding.

Update!
My Atari mega St keyboard came in! (Bought the mega st over a mega STE keyboard solely due to looks xD)

Quick and dirty fix for my mouse not tracking properly. May design a model that takes the place of these eventually
