[ COMPLETED ] (Yet another) Pac Man Bartop- Christmas gift
Shortbus:
Outstanding! Great work, Merry Christmas!
:applaud:
DaOld Man:
Looks good!
I was worried about your plan to paint over the laminate on the wood, but looks like it turned out good.
I know your sisters family will cherish this for a long time.
My only gripe is now you got me wanting to make one!
:applaud: :applaud: :applaud:
dandare:
Congrats!
That looks sweet. :applaud: what a lucky family!
emphatic:
Very nice work. Composite video on those game boards, right?
Well Fed Games:
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
Overall I am pleased with it, I would definitely have made it about an inch wider if I could do it again, trying to squeeze everything in made me have to assemble it in a weird way (on its side), and I would not have rushed as much as I did (the time slotted was fine, the time I spent playing TF2 and Elder Scrolls Oblivion were not).

Yep, just the yellow video and white (mono) audio, which are the only jacks these TVs have aside from RF (I am using a 19" of the same series in my upright- very reliable power return).

Yeah, it was a little tough painting over the (almost) flawless laminate surface with my poor painting skills. I really was hoping to use the wood grain as-is, but too many spots I had to fill in with bondo. It came out ok, though I really think this might be my last painting endeavor... I may just foot the bill on laminate or full side art on upcoming projects, as painting is definitely my weakest link in building (and the part that frustrates me the most).
