NES bartop with stand [done]
<< < (35/35)
BlueGhost:
Very clean, but I can't help thinking of this when I see the pedestal.
edekoning:
Got two layers of white primer done. Now I am wondering what color I should paint the base. Should I go with the same overall light grey from the bartop, or the medium grey from the front of the control panel? I think going with the darker grey makes the bartop itself stand out more. Whereas the lighter grey will make it more a single piece.
yamatetsu:
Or maybe option 3? Medium grey on the front, light grey on the sides. Makes it even more cohesive.

That is a great idea ... until I went buying paint ... 40 bucks for 0.5 liter ... so Instead went with light grey.

I found this nifty website where you can convert from RGB to nearest color standards. Including RAL which is a common paint color standard here. So I used that to convert from my side art to a pretty spot on paint color!

Anyway here are the results. Note hat I put the Bartop against the wall, which made it really stable. Quite happy with the results 8)

Good clean job!

You could add another base under that base, and make it bigger all the way around if it just needs a little more stability.
