Galacade (Galaga Insipred Slim MAME Cabinet) - painting advice needed
PsychoMikey:
AWESOME! Love the curved front of the CP! just wonderfull. Also very nice job on the laminate!
Roo:
Thank you ;D
Small update: I went over to my friends shop and we cut all the pieces to connect the two sides on his table saw. What would have taken me forever to do (at least if I wanted nice, square pieces with straight edges) only took a couple hours.
I owe him one! :cheers:
Roo:
Just a tiny amount of progress...
I am working on the top of the cabinet. My same buddy from the last post had some spare laminate laying around, including a small piece of white, left over from a previous job. So I laminated the insides around the marquee light white ;D
Here's the light board, using GroovyGameGear Nova Matrix lights:
And here's a jig to let me glue up the three pieces that make up the top of the cabinet:
Like this:
This is my first time messing with MDF. I know everyone says how much dust MDF makes, but I had to see if for myself! That stuff can't be good for you if you work with it all the time...
charlieram:
It's all looking great so far, The inside of your cab is gonna look far superior to mine, keep up the good work
Roo:
Thanks for the encouraging words!
Yeah, hopefully the inside doesn't turn out nicer than the outside :laugh2:
Between free laminate from my buddy and extra laminate I bought, I'm gonna end up laminating everything. Which is probably a good thing, seeing how tonight I had to sand the CP lid back down to bare wood in some places. Looks like I'm basically starting over with painting the lid again. At least laminate is easy ;D
