The Blue Lightning Project (Complete save artwork July 21, 2009)

<< < (3/11) > >>

Epyx:
Few updates. Have completed the following:

- Back Panel is ready with hole for variable speed 120mm fan
- Created temporary Marquee being printed at Staples and ready for pickup today (pic below)
- Have several other panels ready to go (Control panel, front coin door
- Added additional interior support structure (2x4s)
- Picked up Plexi for Marquee
- Still contemplating getting laminated glass vs Plexi. My thoughts are to go with plexi initially and then I can always use it as an exact templated for the glass to shop to cut off of. Id hate to have my measurements off on glass whereas on plexi I get 2 chances based on the sheet size im getting.

With luck I will be filling/sanding and priming tonight. So far no deep holes to fill just countersink holes.

Here are a few pics (Yes back panel will have hole for power cords! :)

Martijn:
its a bit wide, that's because you will not strip the tv i think.

i tripped it because size did mater to me

how high is it from the floor down to the control panel? its seems a bit low.
did you try it out without hurting or bending your back?

Epyx:
Correct. The tv will go in unstripped and that way I can always switch to a widescreen if desired...mostly its because my friends and I are large lads and its nice to stand without being elbow to elbow.

The control panel will sit on the ledge you see in the picture so actual height of the controls will be 42" (107cm).

I will put up a picture with me actually standing with controller but im 6' (1.82m) and it feels comfortable based on my height etc.

Martijn:
then its really wide :P

no space in our country for such big cabs  :laugh2:

Epyx:
Lol ya that is why im dubbing it the Behemoth for construction. Thankfully I have a very large basement (phew). However, I can sympathize as I lived in Holland (Beverwijk) for many years as a teenager and small child. Our place was very small!

But you get the best frietjes in the world so we are even! ;)
