Space Base - A homebrew ICB/ZP
pbj:
Drill some holes in the side and use actual rivets.
Le Chuck:
I laminated the sides in some beautiful grained 1/4 oak this weekend. Haven't stained it yet, still working on the paint job for the body panels. I like the ideas on the metal panels. Wonder if I can incorporate the wood into it rather than just covering it. I'm not opposed to skinning it in metal (and the cost of the MDF sheet to the plywood sheet was negligible) I just don't want to miss out on really capitalizing on the grain I have. I will play with some designs of doing 1/2 skinned or even doing metal sideart that brings that space look. I also want to call back to the original cabinets. Kind of a tightrope design wise but I would love to hear more ideas. Just know that if there are to be rivets involved on the sides they'll be actual rivets ;) The same probably can't be said for the CP tho.

Rivets... that's an idea I'll use.

Dammit, now I need to buy a whole other set of tools :applaud:
Le Chuck:
The paint job isn't complete, after I took this I pulled the PF, CP, and coin door back off then sanded'er down and put on what should be the last coat of black. Anyway, here is is on the base with the sides done - minus a lot of art, controls, and t-molding this is more or less what we have to work with. I think it looks great as is (unstained as of now) but if I can find some inspiration I'll do something creative with the sides.
