Hey, just curious what you think? I love my JD, but want to move on in the next couple of months. My JD is far from CQ, but I have pput a fair amount of my time into making it look as good as possible.

I do love this machine, but learned right away I want CQ machines. I don't want to spend tons of $ and time getting it close.

Just curious if you think it is worth doing all the cabinet fade. I don't mind, it gives me something to do. When I sell, I will disclose color was touched up with markers and not original.

From a buyers point though, would you prefer a faded cabinet or one that someone spent time making it look better (imo) although they used markers? If i could get cabinet decals I would go that route obviously. Thanks. Dredd_Front.JPG Artline-Dredd.JPG

Thanks. That picture is very close, from a normal, even playing distance it looks much better imo. I know some peps are all about keeping it original though, I guess that was the purpose of my question.

BTW - can't remember who (No Fear Resto) but recommended Artline markers, theses things rock compared to sharpies. They really hold the ink well and don't get dry compared to the sharpies I have tried in the past.

That looks great Cliffy. I pulled up your JD resto post a while ago. I considered buying an air brush and trying to learn. I'm not very artistic so figured i'd be better off with markers lol.

Here is the link. It was not a Cliffy started post, sorry. Just got me thinking originally about the whole airbrushing the cabinet thing.

That's a Dredd figurine I bought on Ebay, punched a tiny hole in his head and used it as my Dredd keychain.
