LOL! I have everything I need to complete the machine I just need to sand it and apply my vinyls and she will be done. The winter messed me up because I needed to make room for my Z and the wife's car in the garage so the arcade machine went on the back burner.

I swear I will finish this thing at some point

kenchan · 05-07-2015, 05:09 PM

oh i thought i read the arcade machine went out the back door.

Wolfenstein · 05-25-2015, 04:23 PM

So I FINALLY went and bought a sander and dremel so I could finish this bad boy.

The stuff I have sitting on the top is weight for the glue. I have the laminate on both sides and the bottom of the front, I just need to make a few more cuts then it will be ready to lay the custom vinyl on. I would have had it finished this weekend but I ran out of contact cement.

Man, finally you get around to finishing my arcade machine

Jordo! · 05-25-2015, 08:34 PM

Oh, wow -- that looks killer! Great job

kenchan · 05-26-2015, 12:14 PM

agreed, looking good!

I applied the first vinyl to my machine and trimmed it up. The machine is on its back so the side with the vinyl is the front of the machine below the controller deck. I used the "wet" method for laying the vinyl and it ended up with no bubbles in it. I can't wait to get the rest of the vinyls attached!
