Thanks for all the great feedback :) I'm so glad it's coming across as I had hoped especially with the whole whimsical Lewis Carrol, Tim Burton thing. I was a bit nervous about the overall height since at 6.5 feet tall it's much larger than a classic cab. I just read thru the Arcade Reboot project site at http://www.ugiansky.com/arcade/default.htm That cab is exactly the same height and the builder points out that its dimensions can make you "feel like a little kid again playing a big machine." So that cinches it, since that's exactly how I want to feel :). All my initial concerns are out the window. Just in time to begin construction of the marquee in the coming week or so. WOO HOO! |

That cab is going to rock! You have given me some ideas and inspiration for my cab, thanks! Very creative and different. I like seeing new ideas and designs. That's the cool thing about building a cab from scratch. You are not limited in the ways of converting an old cab. I am building one from the ground up also, but still stuck in the planning stages. I got to get moving... Thanks for sharing your great design. |

Curmudgeon... same Morphic Resonance thing just happened to me. Looking in this thread http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=10;action=display;threadid=13087 I saw Pedro had built a "navigation panel" exactly like what I've been planning. I assumed he got the idea from my project. I was surprized (and embarrassed for having thought otherwise) to find that not only was it his own original idea, he had already built it before I had even posted my render! :-[ |
