Any opinions on skinning the sides? MDF for a black paint job (body panels will be black) or a nice wood panel and stain? I'm leaning towards stain as homage to the inspiration machines.

If you were serious you would hand scribe a small pattern over and over and over again into the sides using a dremel tool. ;D

Seriously tho, paint the sides black, then do a stencil or vinyl sticker set of some geometric lines. Use the same bright green, purple, and a touch of grey as the chick on the playfield art.
That or a nice grey ash wood Formica laminate.

This might sound crazy but, for the sides I'm seeing a metal/grey with rivets look. So paint it or apply a laminate and then drive in some bolts?

I really like that idea, fits the artwork theme quite well

Yeah, I think metal would keep in with the rocket/space theme as well.
