Very nice build, but I gotta admit when I read the title I was expecting more out of the artwork... ;)

Best looking bartop base I have seen yet IMHO :applaud:

It is simple and some times simple is best (bartop looks good also)....

How wide is your control panel?  And how comfortable is it with two adults playing?

For the circle cutouts on the back, it looks like you rounded the edge.  Did you do that for just the outer edge?

Thanks!

Nice build!

Original project is http://www.koenigs.dk/mame/eng/stepweecade.htm (http://www.koenigs.dk/mame/eng/stepweecade.htm) with minor change.

For a better comfort I have increased  the width of 5cm and  the depht and the height about 7/8cm. I think that two adults can play without any problems.

Yes only the outside
