Title: Impressive!- Sharing the love.
Post by: MameMaster! on April 15, 2004, 12:23:04 pm
...you know I've been posting here for over a year and I'm floored again and again just how creative and talented everyone is here. I was just checking out the projects section and I am always impressed by the built from scratch cabs in particular.

Between the artwork, physical cab building, software designers/programmers etc the combined talent here is amazing.....I only wish there were a way to physically get together and share these cabs in person.

That's it....I just felt the need to share the love.

My first cab looks like a third grader did it....  :-\

....ahh...but that's why it's your first cab....there's a lot of folks here who have moved into cab 2 or completely gutted/improved upon cab one.

I'm always on the fence to strip my one year old cab and start over....just for the challenge....but I keep resisting.

Besides....I'm sure your cab looks better than you think!

 ;D

MameMaster, you're a kind soul!   :)

I'm actually planning cab 2 now.  I was thinking about finding an old Atari-type, like a Centipede or something, but because of my height, I'll probably just start new again.

Hopefully this one turns out better!

Here's to this gratifying, expensive, wife-alienating hobby!
