Fits on a smaller table now. Takes too much place. Oh, and it runs 7 Grand Dad.

Update!

I'm not good at this so this is where my brother is helping.

EDIT: It's done! My brother came back home with it and it's pretty awesome. He said it took about 5 hours making it with his dad. Will post pics later.

woow this thingy looks really AMAZING Juju, great work both u and ur bro did there!

Really love it

how will u paint it?

u/Yuki May 22, 2017, 08:54:51 PM

Dunno yet, we have some Mac-Tac we can apply, maybe we can print some sort of motif to apply on the side, the top and the controller. We'll also wire some LEDs at the top as there's some plexiglas.

This is looking closer and closer to an arcade cabinet

u/Unicorn May 27, 2017, 11:59:04 PM

looks amazing

u/p2 May 28, 2017, 05:14:22 PM

omg this looks soooo awesome Juju seriously!!

Really nice work you did there, it's absolutely perfect!

How about the bottom half, usually these arcade cabinets are a lot higher ^^

Maybe an empty box to stpre a box of beer inside?

u/Dream of Omnimaga May 28, 2017, 08:31:47 PM

I actually don't mind it being smaller because this means it can be put anywhere.

u/Yuki May 28, 2017, 08:47:00 PM

Thanks! Yeah, that's the point actually, I don't really have a lot of space home and it should be easily transportable, so no bottom half if we don't need it.
