Quoted from Robotworkshop:When are we going to see this awesome machine finished? It looks fantastic so far!
as long as he's not done, i can't move forward, a few things but not much.
Quoted from MustangPaul:It keeps getting better and better Bob. Gonna be a show winner if you take it to a show.
yeah but shows around here are not that great. imagine my space shuttle and firepower side by side.

I'd buy a ticket to that show!

Quoted from beatmaster:latest new, i should have the cabinet and backbox in my basement early next month.
Great, then you clear it right. Pictures before and after you clear it.

i'm not the one who's gonna clear it, he will. if i don't like it, i will re clear everything, but i think it's gonna be fine.

Front cleared (jan 2019) (resized).jpgStars added (right side) jan. 2019 (resized).jpgmore on the backbox (left side) jan 2019 (resized).jpgQuoted from MustangPaul:Sooooo close. You got your shooter housing light up made yet?
what color, red, yellow/amber? not sure yet depending on what i'll do.
got a few ideas. not sure what i'm going to do with the trims, leave it like that, chrome, red chrome, black. gotta match the door, i wish i could find a new skin for the door, it just doesn't exist.
i'm also thinking mirror blade, i probably can make those myself.
a shooter rod, but with...... with.....
something to go on the pf.
a lot of ideas for this game, let's see if i can make some of them.

she's baaaaack!
Damn it looks cool.
I have a lot of cleaning to do. glue from the tapes, 2 years ago, my best friend right now is goo gone.
i might do some sanding and buffing but i will let it cure for a few weeks, meanwhile i will start to work on the inside.
Now i'm wondering, even if the door and door frame is chrome, maybe glossy black side rails and legs and lock down bar. i don't want to buff the side rails.
will it look weird? or i go full chrome, or even black chrome but pretty expensive.
cabinet left side (23:02:19) (resized).JPGcabinet right side (23:02:19) (resized).JPGWell that looks gorgeous!! Wow. Not sure what to say about the hardware, beautiful polished chrome seems right to me. Mock it up with a graphics program first maybe.
Quoted from HPR:Glossy black serais beau mais cette exceptionnelle Fipower mérite encore mieux, black Chrome all the way!
lolll, pas donner! le problème, la porte, pas asser belle pour la faire chromer en noir. juste les side rails et lock down bar $500 + usd.
the door and side rails alone is $500+ usd, in black chrome. what would be nice is to find a real nice door.
i have black legs here, i might put it on just to see.
Looks killer Bob. Since the sides and front are beautiful black I think it would be a shame to put chrome on it, chrome would detract from the blackness of space depicted on the artwork so I'd go black chrome on all the metal. It's only money. 
Or go gloss black powder coating and save some money. Red lit flipper buttons, shooter rod housing and angel eye start button. 
Quoted from dzorbas:I have black legs on mine. I think it looks good but I'm biased. (Sorry about the crap around it!)

If you are going with a chrome lock down bar and coin door, I would go with chrome rails as well.
I like the black, it fits the black space scene in the art.
Quoted from beatmaster:couldn't help myself
[quoted image]
That looks great, now black legs, lb and rails.
