What do you think of my mockup?

<< < (4/8) > >>

jimmy2x2x:
Thats quite a nice look, I think with careful planning this could really work

bkenobi:
Brutally honest:  I hate the look of the cab as you drew it up.  Sorry, but that's it.

HOWEVER, I really think if you were to build something with the techniques used in the bar picture you posted, it could look really nice!  If you just use simple horizontal boards, it will look like you were too cheap to buy materials and just took apart a section of fencing.  If you build something that has details like that bar does, you will make people jealous!

i'm all for high control panels.  on my 4 player, my player 1 and 2 sticks are about 38" and on my classics cab, the joystick is at 40" from the floor....very comfortable..and I am 5'10"

just wanted to reiterate what master kenobi said.

what makes those furniture look good is a great quality wood, and the planks confined into rafined structure. That makes a good result and could make a nice looking cabinet.

You should steer away from 2x4, think 2x8 for a good look, otherwise, it'll look like a wooden cabin (which those furnitures don't look like) and like stated before, like you got too cheap and stole someone's fence to make your cabinet.

Now... its your project, so if you want it to look like a trashcan, or some old-style pickup truck, or R2D2... go for it. But being you ask for opinions: the drawing you made sucks, refine the idea before going forward ;)

(really, there's a need to overplanks on the ends, or something)

edit: I made a quick alteration to your mockup, so you might see where this could be going.
