looking good there Jahilton, i like the tv table shape

i can see u use same sort of marquee holder like i did, but you placed it on top of te speaker panel, if you want to hide it, you could make a 45 degree angel on the speaker panel with a trim bit and then mount the strip on top of that , then you wont see the marquee holder that much.

like i did here

keep it up!

more paintage and exhaust fan guards fitted

I absolutely love the paint job on your cab. What kind of paint did you use? It sort of looks like a matt/flat textured finish (which I'd like for my own cab someday).

Keep up the good work! Very inspirational!

just the CP box to paint and drill now...... then shes off to the living room..... and the wiring will begin. cut hole for the admin controls...... i hate shift keys sorry.... and a "power" button up top..... the button is just a test fit.... a black one will be used.

not sure why it looks grey in the pics...... uk based company also.

two coats with a brush then a 3rd coat with a roller.... let the paint go alittle tacky so the roller pulls up the paint so that you get the texture effect.

ok the cab is at home now.... the workshop looks strange with her there (decided its a girl BTW)

Ok some more updates..... fitted the sticks of joy and buttons to the CP..... Cp box is still in paint so pics with the CP on the arcade are just mockup so the angle and height is wrong in the pics.....i've started to smile now when i walk into the room

sorry for some of the pics (phone)

would love to hear your comments.....

Martijn · « **Reply #132 on:** June 14, 2011, 05:44:27 am »

Nice clean job on the control panel

In my oppinion a bit to large compared to the cab, but the artwork and plexy finish really makes it nice

almost there

maybe make 2nd player buttons yellow?

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #133 on:** June 14, 2011, 06:05:41 am »

the CP box isn't finished and not fitted in the pics..... i'll take more pics maybe tonight...... does look huge in the pics... but its at the wrong angle and too low...... just a trail fit... again thx for them comments

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #134 on:** June 14, 2011, 05:05:53 pm »

You can buy them at Home Depot / Lowes in the electrical section. I forget what they are called. They have self-adhesive backs.

Donkbaca · « **Reply #145 on:** July 01, 2011, 11:17:40 am »

they are zip tie anchors, they are right next to the zip ties

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #146 on:** July 01, 2011, 11:46:33 am »

Bit of a strange one this but is there any chance you could post in more detail how you went about wiring your little rgb to scart dongle. Your cab is excellent by the way, you’re progress all along as mimicked my own so its been an interesting read!

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #157 on:** November 14, 2011, 06:21:17 pm »

Got the sideart done..... bed time now sorry for the fussy pics low light levels...... to say im happy is an understatement..... pics speak a million words!

jahilton2002 · « **Reply #158 on:** November 15, 2011, 02:10:52 pm »

no comments guys, im still smilin' !
