I really enjoyed following along on your Astro build and while I'm saddened to see that project dissolve I am excited by what you are doing here. I'm glad to see you back in the saddle Ond. Looking forward to many awesome updates. I am always impressed with your skill and patience and your attention to detail. I love how you don't cut corners and you take your time to get it right. Thanks for sharing this project with us.  :applaud:

wtf it was a joke...


  I would have to think it is not even possible to show off, Its two ideas basically a revision if you will, anyone and everyone here could build one should they so desire, and the sharing of ideas is not showing off.... Tully creeping this and making one to impress his friend well that's a different story. >:D

:lol  Gawd.  You know here in Australia we have a tradition of warning our mates when they're in danger of straying into wanker territory.  I just thought Ian was doing me that favour.  opt2not has a good point about the whole 'lost in translation' thing that happens on the internet.  It's all good my friends. When I'm motivated about this project I can get a bit over-excited.  I mainly get blank stares at home when I talk about it so I'm very grateful to have the interest that I get here. I'm just going to keep on doing what I'm doing and doing the best work I can.   :cheers:

I really enjoyed following along on your Astro build and while I'm saddened to see that project dissolve I am excited by what you are doing here. I'm glad to see you back in the saddle Ond. Looking forward to many awesome updates. I am always impressed with your skill and patience and your attention to detail. I love how you don't cut corners and you take your time to get it right. Thanks for sharing this project with us.  :applaud:

Thanks, like I said I really appreciate the interest you have in what I'm doing.  For me, other than actually meeting BYOAC members this is the best part of the forum.   It's the fresh ideas I have that keep me motivated.  Must be something in the water, because I keep getting new ideas all the time lately.

The rocket sprocket coin plate is still progressing.  Today I refined the cut-outs and the rebates so the pieces fit nicely together.  The underside of the cog has been rebated.  You can just see a bit of that in the pic. Second coat of spray putty onto the cog, first coat onto the rocket tonight.

Have a look at my previous post pic and then these to see the difference in the moulded shapes.  The ultimate finishing goal for these pieces (and the whole cab) is a very high gloss, polished plastic look.

Still going to do that write up in the woodworking section on how you get that incredible paint finish?  Very much looking forward to learning before making a go at it.

Sprocket Rocket looks fantastic.

We do that too, but we’re usually in a circle when that happens.

Yup, I understand the whole circle thing bro  ;D

To pre-empt the imminent completion of the finished Sprocket Rocket coin panel I’ll share the color scheme of RoToron.  It’s to be yellow with decal detail in black/white and minimal red here and there.  It’s less red corvette and chrome and more arcade style fun IMO. I already have the new controls, buttons, spinner etc.


The machine will play a limited select list of arcade games, my own custom jukebox app and Pro-Pinball (software pinball).
I’m not happy with any available jukebox apps free or otherwise and I just about have enough basic skill in Unity to create my own customised for RoToron.  It’s coming along nicely so far.

Some pics showing progress today.  I've flipped over the cog so the rebate can be seen that matches the rocket.

The rocket is ready to be painted, the two pieces fit nicely together.



Both pieces will recieve several coats of paint before final polish.


First coat of paint goes onto the rocket.

Next...the scary part,  forming the plastic dome.  Yikes  :-\  Also some more cabinet shell progress.

Awesome work.  How do you get such an even layer of paint on the MDF?  What do you seal it with first?  Even when I use Kilz or something as a base the MDF soaks up some of the paint.  You somehow get these pieces to look like injection molded plastic after only 1 coat of paint!  How?

Déjà vu anyone?  :D  In brief, with MDF, my surface finishing process goes something like this:

1.   Fill holes, cracks etc. with Bondo
2.   Dry sand the surface with 180 and then 320 grit sandpaper. Until almost all surface trace of Bondo is gone and MDF is smooth.
3.   Spray 1st coat with High Build Primer/Spray Putty.
4.   Dry Sand with 320 grit for a uniform smooth surface. Wipe over with damp cloth.
5.   Spray 2nd coat with High Build Primer/Spray Putty.
6.   Dry Sand with 600 grit. Wipe over with damp cloth.
7.   Spray 3rd coat with High Build Primer/Spray Putty.
8.   Wet sand with 600 grit. Wipe over with dry cloth.
9.   Spray 1st (and usually only) coat of Primer – this is less viscous than high build primer for the fine details.
        a. Repeat above step 9. if required.
10.   Wet sand (lightly) with 600 grit. Wipe over with dry cloth.

Surface is now ‘paint ready’ as shown in my project.

Pictured are the automotive finishing products I use.  You should find very similar at automotive specialists in your area.  Unlikely to find anything like these products at a general hardware/paints store.

Standard primer:


My paints of choice and clean up solvent.


These are all acrylic lacquer based products with thinners mixed to reduce their viscosity.  The high build primer products can be purchased in either propellant based (rattle cans) or in bulk tins to be used with thinners and a spray gun.  I will be switching over to the latter method in the near future.

Now that I've typed all that out, I'll copy it into my "How to paint your cab the OND way." thread in the Woodworking section. For a look at how I do all the above, check out the video in that post.  It's not riveting watching, unlike say, a super hyped up YouTuber reviewing the latest iPhone.  But, it does have the info you're looking for.

No I haven't mentioned that yet.  Sanwa controls.  PC - most likely Intel I7 based, running Mame and PC software.  No CRT, but an 21" 4:3 NEC LCD.  I'll cover these things in detail including front end configuration, monitor rotation control etc once I'm done with the restoration work, just as I did in the original project.

Preparing the mould for the acrylic dome.



I’ve cast around this with alginate and then made a plaster form.

Added details to the Core including nuclear symbol using a stencil and a wraparound decal.

Great work as always, the detail and craftsmanship are remarkable.  :cheers:

Side note:
How do you pronounce the name, is it...
Rot-oh-ron
Roh-toe-ron
Roh-tore-on
Roto-ron

And is there a reason the R and T are capitalized?

Just curious, stupid things I think about when looking at a build.  ;D

Thanks, it's a good question.  I think the closest pronunciation using your example is "Roh-toe-ron".  The R and the T are capitalized because of the logo design.  The RoToron logo has a kind of personality, a face in the font if you will.  It's part of the theme of the cab.

 ;D  You can also read it like Roto ron.  Ron the rotating retro-future arcade machine!  The syllabic ambiguity  (try saying that with a mouthful of marbles) is part of the fun.

In this example it sounds like Roh-tah-ron, I don't hear the second 'O'.

Thanks, heh, well I hear it correctly but I'm an Aussie  ;)

Slowly but surely I'm getting there with fibre glassing.  I've nearly covered the whole lower shell now.  I'm really looking forward to refining the surface and getting it back to sexy. 


I think I'm going to focus on the control panel for a bit on its own.  Surface finishing and then painting of the newly fibre glassed CP should be a satisfying test of new paints and equipment. With that in mind ......

I got muh new guns


In the left corner is my fine details spray gun.  I picked it for its very fine spray and delicate touch.  Without 'Jenn' there is no ultra-gloss finish.

In the right corner is my primer gun.  It can handle the heaviest high build primer.  Without 'Ian' there is no tough, primed shell to paint on.

Seriously, I like the way you add extra touches to your posts. It makes for a more interesting project.

Click HERE to watch a sneak preview of the animated logo taken from the boot sequence.  The voice is synthetic i.e. created from a text to speech application and then tweaked.   :cheers:

Is that what is being represented in the topic title characters? -> ロトロン

Short and sweet. Loved it. And your projects are always a pleasure to watch, good luck on the build.

Thanks! Edit Hmm the lip sync is a bit out on Vimeo but fine in my media file, oh well. Fixed All these things, logos, the name, the art & theme etc will hopefully work together to be a part of the final product.

Well, this hobby is such a serious business.... gotta stand back sometimes and have a laugh.

It's been many months of planning and thinking and pondering, I'm just getting started with following my vision now.  Now is a good time to be watching.

:laugh2: OMG that's like the funniest thing Jennifer has ever seen, It so gotta be stickied or something! :laugh2: .... Congrats on the guns! that's a big deal and will change your life.

Heh, you two  :P

Yes, ロトロン is Katakana (Japanese) for RoToron. 

Ok, I have three days off now to see what I can progress.  I need to finish the frame for my vacuum press so I can test some acrylic moulding.  I have this wacky idea to use some salvaged items from a rear projection TV I found.  Specifically, the Fresnel lens sheet.  I wonder if it bends like acrylic?   :-\  We shall see.  This is a 'warts and all project', the good, the bad and the ugly.  Some things work brilliantly, and some things just don't turn out at all.  The design will not change, but how I achieve it takes all kinds of paths.
