A Martijn style SF cab
marstc1:
Thanks again guys :cheers:
I now have an Amiga emulator running which works really well, I have been having loads of fun with Pinball Dreams (the buttons on the side work really well!) and Speedball 2 :)
@Silas (son of Silas) - I got them printed at a place called Fitt Signs in Norwich, great bunch of guys, they took the time to understand my needs and provided me with samples at no cost which was especially useful in choosing the level of tint for the front screen. They took 5 days to complete the prints (during quite a busy period) and payment was taken on collection, I will def use them for my next project.
@push2reject - The cab is roughly 6ft tall, 3ft deep and 2ft wide. I hope this helps .. let me know if you need anything more accurate.
@saurian333 - Would def recommend the vinyl as an alternative, I am really pleased with the finish - I can dig out the link from where I purchased it if it helps, it is UK based .. not sure if that's good or bad for you.
@adidas1984x - Good suggestion, I have some time off over xmas so any requests from anyone?

Yes actually, I'd appreciate that. I ultimately decided to go with roll-on paint on this cab (cheap and not as "fumey" as spray), but for future projects, I'd like to get some price comparisons on they vinyl. eBay US seemed a little expensive, and mostly had rolls too narrow to do it properly (definitely not wide enough for a full upright).

Wow, even with the crappy exchange rate (for me, that is), those much better prices than I found. Better selection, too. I asked the seller about "posting" ;) to the US, so we'll see. Thanks for that!
