I see the Tower of Babel in the lines of the cab! :applaud: --- End quote --- Tying a strong theme to a cabinets shape is a good way to design. Metropolis has some great images to use for artwork inspiration and will really bring the cab to life. --- End quote --- If I were building a Metropolis cab, I would use the cityscape as the theme, and on the sides I'd have the false Maria in Yoshiwara. Makes me wish I were building a cab! :cheers: |

If they do have angles other than 90 degrees most of the time they are just overlapping the panels. You have to figure most BYOACers don't have access to a full workshop. Maybe you should figure out what tools most people are working with and design a cab that the majority of people can build. Does everyone have access to a table saw and jig saw?[/list] |

I'm hoping to bring two things to this project, a design that's my own and information / methods that give builders confidence to realise the design. I'd say revisit your thinking once I get the build procedure posted. A table saw, would not be necessary but a circular saw and jig saw would be the sort of basic tools I'm talking about. I wouldn't expect someone to build any cabinet, curves angles or otherwise with out basic tools including a router as well. It's not just altruism or practicality that I'm about, it's still got to be interesting and creative i.e. fun (for me as well as others). As I've said, it won't suit the majority, but it might suit some. @ dandare, :lol The OND way OK? Hey it's early days I've barely started and no one can say I don't take on board peoples suggestions (I've done it with my current Astro project plenty of times). There still has to be a captain of the ship or pilot flying the :blah: not a cabinet by committee. Rant over. ] |

SIR YES SIR! (he-he :lol) im really exited about the metropolis art (if you decide to go that way) especially the fritz lang version. are you going to actually build this yourself too, or purely virtual? if you do, make sure you video document it all in your finest dungaree's! |
