Man its been a while since I posted a project here  :o

Thought some of you might like this one though.

I built a Taito Big Blue a few days ago.

Some build shots below.



I built as per spec but I always forget how short they are. I built a 50mm plinth to make it taller:



I gave in a sand then primed and painted it with some left over Tiger Gold (GM Colour) that I had left over from painting my Valiant VF Coupe (OZ/NZ version of a Hemi Dart). It was sanded flat with some 800grit to get it super smooth for the decals. The black is a metallic and looks pretty nice.





Now for the Boo Boo :lol. I got distracted when I had the decals laid out and when I came back to this machine I picked up a decal and stuck it down. I used the wet method of course :p simply because I was on my own and car paint is like glass so once its stuck, thats it.



I didn't take much notice until a friend politely pointed out that I had put them on the wrong sides. Idiot! The large crater is supposed to be at the rear, not the front. Oh well. The machine is finished but I don't have anymore pics. I will post some more next week when I am back home.

Still looks cool.

Looks awsome Spacies!  Did the Taito Space Invaders have any black light inserts inside the cabinet?  If so, what are you going to do about those?  As always terrific work.  About the side art, everybody makes errors once in awhile, still looks great.

danny_galaga:

well, you've done in a few days whats taken me more than a year to do! i guess i should get stuck back in...

i'll try and learn from your mistake and make sure i get the left and right sides correct :)

spacies:
