Leather covered Cab
skinz:
I got the Trackball and all the buttons today. All black. We decided to use #9 real brass nailheads, 23k gold tooling and all black controls. All I need now is the video card that will work with this machine and soft 15k. Next weekend the leather wrapping will begin.
skinz:
I'm still having video card issues with getting the cumputer to show on the arcade monitor and suspect I'll need help at some point. Tried the Arcade VGA one more time and didn't work. So, like I said before - I need to find a video card that will work so I can use soft 15K.
Anyway, we managed to get some leather on the cabinet today. Went over the layout and began to cover some of the prepared parts.
Heres how it went:
It was a lot of work so far but my wife did an awesome job. I'll keep you posted with more leather on the cab. Then we will start with the 23K gold tooling and brass nailheads. It will be pimped out.
emphatic:
MY GOD! :applaud: That looks completely sick!

Very nice. You using some kind of brown tmold or wrapping leather around the edges? The gold tooling and brass nails was very much like what I was going for on my CP (but it's formica laminate so I couldn't quite use leather tools on it)
