After one and a half years it is finnished!
I am posting two pics above my first post of this project. More pics and details will follow at the end.
Original first post below. Last June I got really excited to start my first build. Before starting our beloved french bull dog, Chunk, was diagnosed with cancer and passed away a week later. The preparation for this build was a great help to me, so I am dedicating this build to him.
As I start posting pic's you may ask your self "How does some one with a whole wood shop have such poor wood working skills?", well the answer is the wood shop belongs to the school I teach at, in east Africa. The DT teacher is letting me use the equipment after school.
I had to buy all the arcade parts when I was back in the U.S.A this summer. If I didn't bring it, its not going to be added, Shipping is not an option. The aim is to build a for player pedestal with Beat'em up + Gauntlet theme based off some plans I found for the front base "controller part" of the 6player X-man cab. Beat'em up -X is a working title derived from my love of the 90's Beat them up's and the X is for the x-man plans that got me started. If any one has a better name in mind feel free to share.
Take a look at my ruff draft for a theme and let me know what you think.
