NeedlesMcGirk's First Upright Cab Attempt - Arcade Anthology *Finished!
needlesmcgirk:
Alrighty, I'm done painting this thing. Its been a disaster since I started, and I'm done with it now, and it doesn't look fantastic, but Jimmy cracked corn, and I don't care. The thing plays games and I'm happy about that. Eventually I'll get some side art to post up and it will make it look that much better. Other than painting I did a couple of other things:
- Installed the speaker grills (ripped off of some old Dell speakers) and then installed the speaker panel.
- Installed the black t-molding. This thing is definitely way too black, so I think I am going to get some more lively t-mold. Thinking blue or green...
- Finished the pull-out shelf.
- Readied the bezel. The pictures have it in, but its not secure at all. I'm not sure how I am going to secure this thing honestly. I think I may have to get some heavy duty velcro or something.
So here are some new pictures of the arcade nearly finished:
So here it is in all its glory! Full frontal standing. As you can see the Marquee is not up yet as its not quite finished. it may take a while...
Here's a closer look:

Pull-out shelf:
So I hope you guys will like it. I know its not even close to the craftsmanship of most of you guys's machines, but like I said earlier, it plays games well and I'm happy with it right now.
Things left to do:
- Install the bezel
- Secure the speakers to the speaker panel
- Plexiglass or glass to cover the bezel
- Finish the marquee and install it (with fluorescent light)
- Get some new t-molding for color
- Eventual sideart
- Play a whole lot of games

In the end it is you that has to like it, warts and all. It looks great for your first. Regarding t-molding, I'd recommend red because that is the predominate color on your CP.

^ I dunno, red and black is pretty intimidating.

Hi,
Nice build!
Why not go red down the right hand side of the cab to match the player 2 buttons, blue down the left to match player 1 and white around the CP to match player start buttons.
