Your guy has to be better than the guy I used. Six months to get 4 shelf brackets and a pinball shooter brass plated!

MDF chromed!?!? I know they chrome anything anymore but I didn't realize how nice it would look.

Did you put me in your will yet

TopJimmyCooks · « **Reply #1210 on:** April 10, 2012, 08:34:04 pm »

They can chrome anything by varying processes. I remember someone had chromed nerf footballs a few years back.

Sexy indeed, Ond!

That is crazy cool.

ninjasquirrel · « **Reply #1214 on:** April 10, 2012, 10:18:41 pm »

very slick Ond! How thick are the different layers of metal/coating added together? By the looks of the center section you were playing with it looks pretty stout.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #1216 on:** April 11, 2012, 01:41:01 am »

That sure is pretty OND. I dont think I have ever heard of chroming MDF before. I wonder if that service is available here in the states?

emphatic · « **Reply #1217 on:** April 11, 2012, 05:18:49 am »

I'm very happy this came out like you wanted it to or even better. As it's MDF and not steel, there's no chance of it ever rusting too, right? This cab is built to last until the world around it catches up.

Are you guy's getting ideas for all the things you want to chrome on your cabs now?

I wanna dip my whole freaking cab in chrome now. Nice work OND.

When are we going to see this as a kit on Kickstarter?

I call BS.

That's just more renderings. Come on, Ond. Stop playing with Renderman (or whatever it is) and actually make something already!

Good job on the woodgrain though

You get what you pay for... I assume you're broke now! Looks amazing!

This is truly awesome with no hint of hyperbole

WOW!!!!!!!!!

swaffar · « **Reply #1224 on:** April 11, 2012, 01:14:33 pm »

So ond... What did this cost you and how long did it take? I'm building a midsized pinball cabinet and I'm going to need a custom 14.5 inch lockdown bar. Maybe I'll make one from MDF and have it chromed.

emphatic · « **Reply #1225 on:** April 11, 2012, 01:17:11 pm »

That looks lovely.

opt2not · « **Reply #1226 on:** April 11, 2012, 05:45:14 pm »

Well done. That fit perfectly with the design/aesthetic you're going for.

>As for you two giggling schoolboys.... can't you tell modern erotic art when you see it?

Hmmm. I always thought this was going to be MUCH more than arcade cabinet for you.

Maybe you will need a retro/futuristic antibacterial foam dispenser attached to it?

Just kidding. I lurk a lot but I don't post much. I'm very impressed with you skills & determination.

I still say this has something to do with the end of the world. The Mayan calender is coming to an end. Maybe Astro is in a Nostradamus quatrain? With this have some type of particle accelerator/black hole creator inside?

Amazing, you should take a break just long enough to clone yourself so that the world can see more of what's going on in your head. Seriously how long would it take for a bunch of industrial designers and engineers to come up with something this sweet, let alone prototype it. You run it through the whole process, nobody is Jack of all trades, master of all. You sir are an artist, designer, engineer all rolled into one. Whaaaaat?

Couldn't have said it better myself. Amazing work!

I think I could spend a small fortune in change by inserting coins into that thing. I mean, it would be hard to start playing as this would have my attention rather than the games.

lcmgadgets · « **Reply #1235 on:** April 15, 2012, 05:52:49 pm »

OMG.

I saw the original 2009 post of this project, & knew right then I was going to post a reply. I've been a lurker here for a long time, & have been fantasizing about the cab I'm going to build since 2006. But I've only posted...9 times (just checked my own profile). That cab is amazing, & the coin slot...I'm crying. That much attention to what many would consider a small detail (okay, probably not many at this site). I can't add any new praise that u haven't already been deservedly given, so I won't try. Congradulations, good luck, & I'll b lurking to c how it all turns out (& cry more then).

I agree that u should b cloned just so we could study your brain. & if I could get a copy to work for me...

Pinball Wizard · « **Reply #1236 on:** April 15, 2012, 06:04:56 pm »

Wow...... It's these finishing details that push a cabinet ahead of any other. Great freaking job!!!!!

JustMichael · « **Reply #1237 on:** April 15, 2012, 08:15:40 pm »

Just when you think the cab can't possibly get any better, it does!! Watching you build this thing is like watching Michaelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Takes a long time but it is a masterpiece!

GregD · « **Reply #1238 on:** April 15, 2012, 08:52:41 pm »

That is unbelievable. Outstanding work.

kahlid74 · « **Reply #1239 on:** April 16, 2012, 09:52:17 am »

Beautiful. I love the multicolor fade from the coin slot blue to the white.
