If you want to do a bezel, how about something shaped like a cartoon- or videogame-cloud, bigger than the monitor so you get the actual shape of the cloud ?

You would have then : Warp zone --> playfield --> cloud --> uh, a real big pole that goes through the clouds

Depending on exactly what you are needing for letters, I have access to a laser cutter that could make super crisp letters. We usually use 1/4" birch plywood.

That would be awesome! PM send.

"Buddy, you cannot put crayons here, all right?" "Ok, daddy," and off he goes. I expect to see his signature at anytime under the Welcome to Warp Zone.

Ah, the trials of parenthood. I'm right there with ya man. Luckily one of mine just moved out and the other is almost 13 so I have a lot less to worry about.

Yet at the same time so many more things to worry about

I'm guessing it's a son and not a daughter. As I've heard before, "If you have a boy, you only have one dick to worry about, but if you have a girl, you have to worry about ALL OF THEM."

Classy, eh?

Great job Louis!
It turned out real good!

Wicked job LT!

The pictures of the rendering and the real thing right next to each other are awesome too. Nailed it.

You need a Nintendo logo sticker, bro? Lemme know.

Ditch those stickers.

yotsuya · « **Reply #415 on:** August 22, 2014, 04:45:35 pm »

Keep the Nintendo one, lose the other one, and ignore James.

pbj · « **Reply #416 on:** August 22, 2014, 04:53:38 pm »

It is impossible to make the Wii sensor bar less intrusive and slapping an ugly sticker on it doesn't help

DaOld Man · « **Reply #417 on:** August 22, 2014, 04:55:09 pm »

I like your concept on the mala layout, cant wait to see it finished.
I like the stickers too. Where, pray tell, did you buy that sticker makin doo hickey thing?

Holy crap, it's dirt cheap too. Add to basket.

Ditch the wii bar completely and pop in 2 IR LED lights.

The stickers seem really out of place. Like a pretty girl with bad teeth out of place.

AlienInferno · « **Reply #423 on:** August 22, 2014, 07:45:37 pm »

Could you make the background of the Nintendo sticker black? Maybe that will make it look less out of place. When everyone first started mentioning Nintendo logo stickers the only one that came to my mind was the big 'N' logo from the N64 era.

There's a nice large pic with black background that could be scaled down HERE : ( http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/304/8/2/nintendo_logo_crisp_by_banesbox-d31uzbq.png )

In that last shot when you get to see everything as a hole the white nintendo sticker looks nice. Good job man.

This has turned out ace

Nice to see a clean control panel without 100 controls using every bit of space up too.

We're both on vacation this week. It's been a good week.

Vacation? I've heard this word used before, not sure what it means. Apparently is has upbeat and friendly connotations. I hope to experience this phenomenon some day.

Generic Eric · « **Reply #433 on:** August 29, 2014, 06:33:02 pm »

Do you find having the wheels mounted increases the playability? I have heard/read criticism that the sensitivity and accuracy of the turning wasn't as realistic as it should have been. *shrug* I'm still trying to find the game at a bargain so I've played less than an hours worth of time.
