The Vewlix Fighter Cabinet - WIP. The cab is dead my friends.
jeef:
my condolences for your loss :(
Gatsu:
alrighty. Been trolling the forum for the past few weeks....waiting and watching. And I've seen some candy & vewlix style projects that got my fire burning to finish my cab again.
I've moved all the components to my apartment and out of my dads garage. It seemed to be getting more & more hazardous for it there.
Steps to finish:
Finish cutting out the top bar pieces for the marquee area
Finish sanding and puttying the top piece of the control panel
Cut out joystick & button holes
Mount the control panel plate onto the full panel.
Re-paint the entire base & front pieces (thanks to all the crud that got on it from my dad & his buddies slapping tools all over it).
Wire controls & PC in base
There won't be a coin door for now. But I might add one later.
Here's a picture of everything in its new temp resting place until I start working on it this week.
You can see close to the center of the image the brown stain thats on the side of that piece. Yeah....thats the ruined paint-job I was talking about earlier. The base isn't too bad. Just needs to be sanded down to the primer and 2 new coats applied. Good thing I've got a spray gun otherwise I'd be pissed to have to use more rollers.
Im also working on 3 new sticks. 2 will be twin sticks for the Wii when Tatsunoko vs Capcom drops. The other will be a 360 Dan SFIV themed stick. All pink. Buttons, balltop....everything.
emphatic:
Great to see you back on track Gatsu! :applaud:
Gatsu:
thanky. you don't know how much it took to get me to even look at the cab again.
But after all the forum trolling and my friend bitchin at me about getting it done....then the weather got a little cooler. So I can tolerate being outside for a long time now.
Still got a lot to do. But its the "home stretch" to me. So it won't be too bad.

Glad you're back and ready to finish your vewlix! You got me motivated to build my vewlix in the first place
