I wish Happ made brown.

That might be the first time anyone has ever said that!

Looks like you got brass plate on the inside areas of the cp? Are you planning on doing more of the cab like that or just those inside panels?

Either way, it's looking really good

Thanks Dr.!

If you're referring to what I think you're referring to, the entire unit will be laminated in the same gold "Metalaminate".

What are you going to do on some of those inner corners where laminated edges are going to meet at 90 degrees? I'm thinking where the decorated trim pieces meet. There could end up being a slight gap there that most would not see but may bug you as the builder.

You may be right about this (the gap, that is. You're definitely right that it will bother me if it's there.

). I won't know for sure until I get the other two sides laminated.

It's nice to see them installed

The artwork looks awesome, bet you are happy with that!

Have you tried lighting the LEDs yet? I used clear bubble tops in the previous pics, I would like to see them with your yellow bubble tops. I bet they will cast a nice glow over your artwork

Any updates? Love the CP artwork, it turned out great!

This project is fantastic and I want to see it finished. *nudge nudge*

On a clearly unrelated note, the Canadian mint misplaces about 15 million dollars of boullion just as somunny is covering his cocktail cabinet in gold. Sure, he says it's just metalaminate, but it looks a little too good if you ask me. Mere coincidence, or the perfect cover story...?

Flame on!

Can't get into that control panel artwork - a picture of people suffering and dying. Great idea.

Pinball Wizard · « **Reply #248 on:** July 09, 2009, 07:27:13 am »

I have to to say, the gold is got to be a different approach. I personally like different but I am not much of a cocktail person in the first place much less a that color on one.

Well ... I guess it depends on if you were Jewish or not. Notice there are no German Nazi's in that photo, not guns & rocket launchers. It's swords, spears, and shields. Historically the Jewish Nation would take the Ark with them to battles and such (although they never pop-ed the top to destroy their enemies or anything). I'm Jewish myself, so I don't feel to bad for those guys ... But I don't know that I would call them "Bad Guys", unless you were a Jew yourself. (reading wayyy too much into this ...) All the same, love the artwork.

Bender · « **Reply #252 on:** August 06, 2009, 06:26:27 pm »

a robot can't be Jewish?

New here, but I feel compelled to point out an obvious design flaw... Surely, you'll have to close your eyes whilst playing it, or it'll kill you!

Seriously though - that's an amazing concept!

I want an update! It's been forever, and we're still waiting to see this thing covered in lovely gold laminate and T-molding!

uolarethian · « **Reply #259 on:** May 18, 2010, 03:43:29 pm »

Any updates on this project? I really hope the "Top Men" didn't get ahold of this one.

R0UNDEYEZ · « **Reply #260 on:** May 18, 2010, 04:52:08 pm »

This is the first time I've come across this project, pretty incredible so far. Was it ever finished? I know how responsibilities of "real life" tend to put these sort of projects on hold (especially since i read earlier in the thread he dropped almost 300 on laminate he ended up spoiling and had to replace) anyway, I just wanted to congratulate you on what you have shared this far.It looks amazing.

Bumping this up as it's one of my hands down favorite projects. As someone who is 2+ years deep in my own cab, I know how these things can be on again, off again...but UPDATE PLEASE!

Thanks.

I am calling the OP out. Somunny visited the site on August 4, 2010 (yes, DAYS AGO) and didn't update this thread? OMG, dude. Do you have any idea how many people are hanging on this one??? What's up?

I'm sure the guy has been busy with life...these projects aren't streamlined productions, so there are delays. No need to stalk the dude.

I also don't get why you're calling out people to finish their projects when you haven't even started yours...just saying.

If I was stalking him, I'd PM him a bunch of times, show up at his house, etc. etc. Or send some Germans for the Ark. I'm just interested, that's all. Usually, when I check the threads with no replies after months, I find that the OP hasn't been around either. In this case, I noted he'd been online recently, and thought it was odd that there wasn't an update to what is, in all respects, an epic build. Even a 'life has been kicking my butt' is more than helpful.

Ouch, dude. Harsh.

If my Wife would let me start, I would start. Right now, cash is tough, and other projects are on the go. (I'd like at least ONE of my bathrooms to be 100% functional, personally.) I can, of course, plan and ramp up, and my home PC is all ready to go... So far. There's always stuff to do.

I hope he returns to finish it!

I went three days in a row to see it at the Drive-In when it was out. Yeah, they still had those back then.

---back on topic:

Nice work on this and a great idea. Hope it gets finished at some point.
