The Blue Lightning Project (Complete save artwork July 21, 2009)
Blanka:
You say the tankstik is for now. Why not decase it and put everything directly in your shelve?
Epyx:
I had thought of that but would prefer something that comes up and contours a bit more, plus I want a spinner and holsters for lightguns. That way I can keep the tankstick for casual sit down gaming on the bigscreen.
Besides with no controller to build I would be close to done and we can't have that :)
Franco B:
Looks good :)
I would say the CP is more than 15% of the build though. ;) I would say its generally over 50%.
Epyx:
Hehe you are absolutely correct. The control panel would easily be 30 to 50%...my original percentages were based on the cab itself with Tankstick controller but like many others here as soon as the shell of the cabinet begins to take place the 3rd party controllers just don't "feel right".
Epyx:
Well my Ebay coin doors arrived:
I have some ideas thanks to the members of this forum on how to restore this. Mark my words this will look killer when it's done. Now mind you after shipping and duty on my $10 Ebay doors (2 doors this is the better of the two) I could have gone with a Starburst in Canada and broken even... oh well I just tell myself this door has seen decades of use/abuse so it will give it that authentic touch.
On the FE side of things...I registered Maximus Arcade and aside form a few minor bugs love its configuration simplicity. It also looks very sleek in action. Playing Amiga/C64 games on my cabinet was definitely a highlight this week. The component was tweaked heavily using the Sony KV27FS100 service menu and is looking fantastic.
I currently have 5mm Laminated glass and just tinted plexi (using Canadian Tire tint roll 35%). Today I pick up an additional 3mm tinted tempered which will replace the plexi.
Poker night tomorrow again and this time the cab will get some good use I'm sure.
Next I will continue my design for a custom CP which I hope to have in the next few weeks.
