Wooden Vewlix Fighter - WIP Round 2

<< < (2/4) > >>

Gatsu:
I'm back from a very long hiatus. Apologies for resurrecting an old & dead thread. But the project is being worked on again.

Since my last post (May 2012), I've finally gotten all of the pieces into my game room and out of the elements until it stay sunny for longer than a day. It's been rain on for 2 days, 1 day of sunshine, then 2 more days of rain...They'll be brought back and forth inside & out for when I resand and paint them.

I was originally gonna paint it black & white. Decided to go all black instead.

I've finally got the controls all figured out, and decided on what I want to run in the cab.

It will have a Naomi 2, a PC to run Mame, and a Xbox 360 or PS3 (depending on which one is easier to mod) to run the modern fighters. So it's gonna be a crowded little case. Gonna take some doing to get all that in there with a working coin door. But that's part of the fun.

So if anyone has a Naomi 2 they are looking to get rid of, even if it's a couple of components, let me know.''

I will be posting some photos tonight of how the cab looks right now.

SpaceHedgehog:
Go Gatsu! Get it done (and don't skimp on the pics).

Ond:
Welcome back Gatsu,  you'll have a ton of lessons learned from your first go at it, so none of that was in vain.  I'm a real fan of the Vewlix design, Ond watching  :).

Drnick:
Go the 360 Route,  You should be able to pick up a Slim with RGH fairly cheaply now.

jmike:
Welcome back Gatsu, looking forward to seeing some pics.  :applaud:
Definitely go with an Xbox 360 if you can get your hands on one. I just finished a bartop housing a 360 and I couldn't be happier.
Love the fact that I can play SSFIV, SF X Tekken and the old street fighter, mortal kombat games on one machine.
