So the shell is now basically done, Sunday to Sunday - I said it should be quick!, but actually has taken longer than I thought and was also planning to paint the games room
Anyway firstly I know the white t-molding is too much and some black is on the way.
Will have to decide when the black is on the cab but I suspect that even then there will still be too much white on there and then maybe the bezel artwork will have to go as well?.
I have already trimed away the white border from the side art, and could definitely use a second opinion as I think maybe its lost it`s identity a bit?.
Things still to do are -
fit some black beading around the cut outs for the marquee and speaker as well as around the screen and the glass track.
Fit the marquee when it arrives as this one is just a mock up.
And fit the volcano buttons when the switches arrive - have ordered these
Oh and of course install the OS etc
One other feature worth mentioning is that  the screen surround is square so can be pulled out and flipped if one day i decide the monitor should be vertical.
Shown next to my taito shaped cab its not that much smaller.
When its all done I will post some higher-res shots of it next to the others.

Player 3:
No amount of envy can save you now. That control panel's quite genius.

Most of the credit has to go to spacies from klov for the design concept for a multivector cab  see here
I just tweaked it.
So I managed to write a simple batch file to start AAE on start up then shutdown windows on exit then I remembered all the excellant vector remakes out there so now I need to decide on a front end and skin it,
check this out to see some . examples
So I still need a second opinion as to if I should ditch some of the artwork?.
One other thought that occured to me when the glass fitted is that this computer aided design stuff may just catch on!. :)
