Now that I've put on the first coat of primer, I really feel like I am getting somewhere. Here are some pictures from the last couple of weekends.

Decided to do one coat of primer on the inside, but probably won't paint any more after that. This weekend I will sand and put on the second coat of primer.

Hear are the speaker holes cut out. I'm repurposing a 5.1 Creative labs set up I have. I'll only be using the sub and the front left and right channels.

Worked on the control panel tonight. Still needs blocks and velcro on the inside to keep it together.

I think it's actually starting to look like an arcade machine. Haven't settled on a theme yet. Really need to start thinking about that.

Looking nice :applaud:

Got the blocks and velcro installed. Also got the top routered for t-molding.
Does anyone know if there a populated version of the Project Arcade/Lusid control panel that can be printed at full size?
Thanks.

Cut the holes in the control for the buttons and joysticks, but not the trackball. But I made a few mistakes. When I taped the template to the control panel, I didn't notice that some of the overlap of the pages screwed up my button spacing. That God for Bondo. :)

Here is the populated template I created in GIMP (from templates provided on the disc from Saint's book) if anyone would like it. You can follow the link to Flickr for the full size version.
