OK... I made a thing.



I've been so lazy this year so I'm posting a premature project thread to keep me motivated. I have the shell cut for the most part and a pretty good idea how I want the finished cabinet to look (kind of weird) but I'm going to need help with the artwork. This time, I'm going to try and build the cabinet with a few screws and double sided tape and then disassemble and paint before putting it all back together again with glue while using the screws as a guide.

The front panel is going to need a lot of attention and this project is going to test my painting skills. I don't have a computer set aside and I'm not sure yet what I want to run on it yet. I have plenty of MAME cabs but they all run 80s nonsense - maybe this one will be a little more modern? It's single player though so I don't know what new-ish games are out there that work well with arcade controls.

Seems dead around here so maybe a new project will spice things up.  :cheers:

True, but yeah, whoever is building and posting here, rules as far as I'm concerned.  I'll be watching, just like you're keeping an eye on my stuff  ;D a javeryh project always cheers me up! Don't worry I'll be returning to my builds, it's just too darn chilly here at the moment.  I'm thinking of posting an "Ond's other projects" post in the Everything Else sub forum. I have a ton of non-arcade projects but I don't want to create a new thread for each. Unsure if I want to post them at all, but then I think ...more things to look at for others  :dunno

Anyway, as long as Saint keeps it alive I have plenty to share for the foreseeable future. I don't care if it's 2 dudes or a 1000 dudes watching - I gotta archive my projects SOMEWHERE.   :lol

Happy to talk painting with ya all you like when the time comes.  I'm getting a new spray gun for my birthday, it's gonna be an awesome one!  :cheers:

My only project around here lately is breaking apart cement blocks from fence posts and cutting down wood from a destroyed shed and putting it into trash cans 50lbs at a time.  And I’ve retreated to the cheap highs of console collecting.  We’re gonna have a very funny sega master system thread around here… some day…

What the hell are you building?

That's yard clean-up ... which I guess is a project of sorts.  I'm building various parts to a new home entertainment system as well as helping my daughter finish off her little home. Wife and I will be looking to buy a new place in the next 6 months so all the media stuff I'm working on will go into that home. Those are my non-arcade related projects. The Pac-Man cocktail and the VPIN will get some attention again when It warms up here. Our new place won't have a dedicated home theater in it, just a lounge room setup how I like it. It will be a small place but hopefully with a good sized block.

I've been watching your Sega Genesis cartridge stuff with interest. I'm not of the console generation, it was only when I got into the arcade building hobby that I started to learn what I could about them.
