Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'

Great work, Gern! Looking good.
I, too would welcome a tutorial on painting.
Why not design your own side art? I'm looking at this on mine - brief detials below (think I'm gonna go without the system logos). Will cost around £50 at local vinyl printers:

Keep on posting those updates! All my wood's cut and ready to assemble, but now got pre-installation PC anxiety! System's gotta be tip top before I fit.

I was planning to build my first (and probably only) full cab around a 22" Crt tv. But the small footprint of yours has won me over and will get my self an 19" LCD and follow your plans. Thanks for all the really hard work on this :notworthy:

I have a question to those who have almost completed their build. Have you stuck with the given dimensions for the control panel? If so, is it comfortable for two adults to play side by side?
I put together a mockup of the panel with my controls and it seems to me that all that would be missing for accommodating my wide self and a friend would be 6 inches. Would this added width jeopardize the stability of the build?
Thanks!

Hi PPV,
I kept the control Panel at 29 inches per the build and that is more than enough room for two adults
A lot of the original 2 player integrated panels are as small as 23 inches. But go with whatever is comfortable for you. I wouldn't think an extra 6 inches would look bad.

Cool. I think i'll try a full sized test CP just to be sure. If possible, I would like to avoid my cab looking like an albatross! :p
EDIT: Just did a quick PDF of the building instructions, for those who would want to tackle this build.
