Painting All Done

Last weekend a push was made to complete all the body work and painting on both cabinets. They both came out really good and I had to test all my plastics and control panels. LOVING THESE ! This weekend I'll be wiring both cabinets for JAMMA. One horizontal, one vertical. These will be a sweet pair ! Full project gallery to date : http://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll85/vibefxdesign/Popeye%20and%20Donkey%20Kong%20Restoration/
I'll have some more detailed entries later focusing on specific areas of the build.

My GRILLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Don't like the holes that were drilled for a speaker grill.
Have no way of recreating the Nintendo original look.
Don't feel like having one shipped and adding that expense to the project.
So in the end I decided on this look.

I'll need to sand it tomorrow, add a skim coat, I should be able to paint it in 48 hours. It should be an easy fix that will not show any sings of repair when done.

Coming Together





Had a get an idea for how it was going to look.

A Few More Pics

Just a few shots of the cabinets all patched up, then painted.





Popeye Progress






Got some time over the weekend to paint my Popeye cabinet.
It's coming along well.
I'm still waiting on my t-molding and side art which I do expect this week.
I decided to today that I'd rather add a speaker grill as opposed to the "custom" look of drilled holes to let the sound escape. I think it's a step in the right direction.
Cabinet is looking good, I'm excited to wrap this up shortly.
