| iCade to iCard - man with no woodworking skills tries to save £50 |
| << < (2/4) > >> |

Okay - still boring, some of the PVC is a little bubbly at the top* plus I have a white iPad, can some "white wood" PVC laminate save this? Also some clear PVC in the garage was hacked from the box the kitchen blinds came in.... |

The iCade looks best with the iPad in the vertical position, so what's my favourite vertical scroller? Galaga 88... Tried printing the marquee on transparency sheet, but it was like a bit 'too' transparent, so printed on some 80gsm paper as well and stuck the transparency over the top - the effect, not too bad TBH... |

Okay - on the Galaga 88 theme, the original cabinet seems a little bare, and my "iCard" cabinet needs all the help it can get... Hence my new side panels based on the artwork for the PC Engine game of the same.... |

Finally - printer back on on line and job done. Okay - card models are more my thing, so I no a pug when I see it, but when all said and done it would have only taken me a couple of nights working comfortably on the living room carpet had my printer not given up the ghost, plus it was fun while it lasted. Amateur hour looks aside I fear it's a partial fail anyhow - one of the reasons I picked Galaga 88 is that I knew it was available on the app-store. What I didn't know was that the app isn't iCade compatible?!? :banghead: Anyhoo - I'll put the wireframe plans up on my website in the next few days should anyone fancy a bit of family fun, though I'm thinking some Balsa would have given a better result....still there's always next time :D |
