    I decided to get the old Amiga's and other stuff out of storage and put them on display in the man cave so I bought some shelving units and stuck RGB in.
    The only thing was looking at the grubby Amiga's didn't look right so decided I'd try my hand at Retrobriting them.
    Thanks to the guys on here I bought the peroxide from Boots and made up the paste using Vanish as a drying agent and went to town on the A1200 first, unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of it before hand, only when I had the keyboard out and then at the end for the finished project
    I made sure to take more photos when doing the A500
