Holy Hell!
How did I miss this thread :o
That is one AWESOMELY cool design you have there. Hell, if there was a way to put a steering wheel on that pop out instead of a trackball.... Ack, No... More.... Projects.... Right..... Now......
Very cool though. Looking forward to more pics.
And if you hook up linear actuators to that thing, I may just have to start stalking you ;)

the hardest part is routeing out the insets for those suckers. I think rockler sales a jig for them. I'd be curious how well they worked.
I did a bunch of practice runs on scrap, then marked my router table to make sure I had the right dimensions

I think I found the hinges i'll be using.

I ran some render tests and it looks like I wont be able to get these to work. Probably going to have to go with the Soss hinges

I don't understand how those huge "side panels" can come out of the inside of the cabinet without hitting the single-player CP that's in the middle back.
Also, will the coin door work at this angle? Or do you plan on having "credit" buttons when using the cab in 4-players configuration?

The wings fold up at a 45 90 degree angle which makes the front piece narrow enough to swing down into the cab. The renders I have at the beginning of the post are preliminary. The coin door may end up being a sticker since I'll be needing as much real estate inside as possible which means I'll be hiding credit buttons somewhere. I'll post an animation of how it works later this week.

A lot of the geometry profiles in this model are built full size in illustrator then imported to Strata, extruded and positioned. It ensures everything fits the way it's supposed to and that I'll also have a full parts list when complete.
