I think we've all been there. But one has to start somewhere and we'll I guess we can all look back at our first cabs and wonder, why the hell didn't I do that the right way. I didn't have the heart to smash my first cab to pieces. Actually I never put it back together when we moved, so it's sitting in the garage. It had two PS2 street fighter arcade sticks (then upgraded to 2-player x-arcade stick), artwork was those character posters from gamestop (you know DK, samus, link). I didn't find this forum until we moved and well I want to thank everyone for their posts and helpful info. I wouldn't have been able to build one from scratch. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see the finish product. :cheers: |

I really like the neon green and black color scheme, and the marquee is awesome too! |

Thanks. I will have some more pictures soon. I had quite the (mis)adventures with the curved plywood but finally have things looking good. Although I won't be removing clamps until I am certain this time! ;) Ya, the colour scheme is one I really like as well even though I wouldn't say that green has ever been a favourite colour of mine. The Galaxian green T-Molding arrived a few days ago and looks bang on with the render, can't wait to see it applied. I should have a mammoth update next weekend which is a long weekend for us Canucks... |

Been following this closely and just wanted to say nice job so far! Im kicking off my first cab tomorrow and had the exact same design (Blatently plagerised mine from martijn and now yours). I reckon its by far the nicest shape for an upright! Its ideal that you are a few weeks ahead so i can see any problems you run into :lol. One quick thing. On the drawing it shows a board along the bottom at the front with t-molding on. Although it looks better would it not be liable to break with people standing on it when playing and damaging molding etc ? |

--- Quote ---Been following this closely and just wanted to say nice job so far! Im kicking off my first cab tomorrow and had the exact same design --- End quote --- Lol nice. Ya this is inspired by Martijn's (itself based on the Galaxy design) for sure but has enough differences to be unique I think (back is entirely curved as is bottom front. The side also borrows from Knievel for the neon hole. As for the bottom board, mine will be resting on top of pine strips. So underneath about 2" back will be a pine strip running from one side of the cab to the other. So I suppose it *could* be broken, someone would really have to make an effort to do so, making it pretty unlikely. No different imo than someone breaking a monitor bezel...you could, but why would you. Nor do I think you would accidentally step on it with how its located. |
