Looks awesome. If you decide to add Pacman Battle Royale to the game list, I recommend the pacbrcade mod for Namco Museum on Steam. It will fix this annoying borders issue with the game that will occur if you don't use it. I am not good at Pacman but made one of my cheaper stick builds 4way just to be able to play that and a few others on occasion for a better feel. |

Yeah I'd like to add all the possible variations of Pac Man to this machine so I appreciate the tip. I'm not good at Pac Man either, not much of a gamer for that matter, but I do like hanging around people that are! It's been sooo hot around here lately I told my boss I was taking a week off to go hiking somewhere cooler near the coast. I've just returned from five days spent here: After a week of no cars, almost no people, just beach and forests, I'm re-energised. It's still damn hot but I'll press on anyway. I wanted 1:1 scale cutting plans mainly because of some of the curves on this design that I have to hand cut. My design process goes something like this: 1. Create photo realistic concept drawings to completely visualise the finished design. 2. Create construction concept from initial drawings to work through the approach to the build. 3. Create precise cutting plans from the construction concept to fabricate cutting templates from (to be used with a flush-trim router). a. Transfer concept from 3D application into MS Visio. b. Save Visio drawings as scale accurate PDFs c. Print PDFs at 1:1 scale. Here's the result which I'm standing on to indicate the size. I always check the dimensions to make sure the printer has followed my instructions. Happily on this occasion they were correct but it doesn’t always work out that way :-\ I've also purchased the 18mm Marine Ply that I'm going to cut the frame for supporting the CRT in. MDF is not the right choice for this component. I'll use what’s left over for the base plate for the cab. It's going to be a very solid and heavy cab, I'm fine with that. More on this and my other projects over the next few days..... |

Wow, that is going to be a nice tight assembly. CRT couldn't be any bigger, cabinet couldn't be any smaller, and you're taking neat advantage of the taper of the tube. Looking good! |

So I know this is a bit off-topic but where do you learn how to do all of this stuff? I have no idea how to use a computer and it feels like it is too late to learn. Would be nice to know how to model stuff or use photoshop or something but every time I watch a tutorial my eyes gloss over and I'm lost within 5 minutes! |
