Knievel's Guitar Hero Cabinet
Knievel:
Oh not too much $. The boxes are just MDF wrapped in vinyl, the piping and the little detail pieces did add up though.
The pinball is an Ice Fever. It has a cool hockey theme with all the sounds, and if you score a goal a miniature puck shoots across the backglass. There's a couple of pictures on my site under 'Other Games'.
Light bulbs are about the only maintenance it ever asks for. :)

Can you explain how you did this? Where are the seams?
Knievel:
Sorry about that, read your earlier question but forgot to respond..
I put the vinyl seams on the bottom of each box so they wouldn't show. Although they actually turned out to be almost invisible.
Where the corners fold around the front of the cabinet I had to make cuts too. Those ones didn't turn out quite as nice but hey, that's what the corner protectors are for. :)
The vinyl was attached to the MDF boxes using water-based contact cement..great stuff!
Darth Nuno:
Impressive :applaud: Very good job 8)
Knievel:
Thanks.
I found a few build pics last night.
Seems some people don't believe these aren't actual Marshall cabinets, even with the interior picture I posted. :dunno
So here are the boxes in their naked state. The last pic shows how I beefed up the front edges to make them look thicker. 3/4" MDF box + a strip of 1/4" thick MDF left me with a nice 1" thick profile. Then I routed the corners off with a 1/2 roundover bit..
