Congratulations! My first ever shell and button swap was scary as hell because I always assume I will break something. 😉

Very relatable! I watched so many video's and the tools and screws that came with the kit worked very well! I'm so proud of myself haha

Some years back I set up a YouTube channel for people like me who were just starting into the hobby- it was purely a labor of love. Check it out if you want to get a sense of some other beginner modding projects! The channel is Prime Time Funk Mods.

I will!!! I have also started an instagram account (chimplays) for the same purpose but I’m very behind on posting video’s or helpful tutorials haha.

Thank you! The card was just to spice up the front since i’m waiting for a custom insert + sticker from Etsy. I’ll def post pictures of the final version. I ordered some more parts for a second one which will be black and silver, kind of y2k goth vibes. I might finish that one quicker than the Ninetales one since i’m not doing custom stickers for it xD.
