(1/13) > >>

DarthNuno:
First of all, have a look at the nice roadtrip done to bring back the cab' from UK to Belgium right here  :wink:   :arrow:



The beast :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:



...the back...



... water damages...



...control panel...



...behind the invisible 'ghost marquee', the neon... (dedicated to PO|NG :wink: )



...the cab' bottom... ouch  :?



...This SA stil has an identity  :roll:  :wink:



...I hate water...



...and humidity  :x  !!!



...when water & wood unites  :? ...



The monitor still there... Does it work ? ... I'll see that next  :shock:



Ok, let's start to remove everything ( well, there is no many things to remove in fact  :lol: ) :



Exit the monitor, the coins door, the control panel...



Ok, in that postion I can start to repair the base... my god, what an HUGE restoration project  :?

DarthNuno:
The tools of the day :



Let's start to repair the base  :arrow:



First of all, removing the bad wood...



...then use a 'wood filler' :



I'm sanding it... manually...



All the front is done...



...but I need to put some more 'wood filler'  to finish as clean as possible and removing small holes...



... first time I'm doing that kind of job, so be indulgent...  :oops:  :wink:

DarthNuno:
Let's continue 'to fill' to wood  8)  8)  8)  (my english's too bad... sorry  :oops: )

A lot of work to do on that corner :



I'm not scared  :D  (mweeeelllll maybe I should  :?:  :roll:  :? )

Let's rock :



In that way, I'll scuplt the main shape...



In the same time, I'm removing the used vinyl on that side :



...to continue...

DarthNuno:
Ok, the 'front base' is not totally finished, but I prefere to repair all the base first. I'll come back to it l8ter  :|

Now, have a look on the left side. I'm starting to remove the vinyl  :arrow:



The low corner is very damaged  :x  And I've to remove more wood to keep the strong one  :?   :arrow:



...The upper corner, also well damaged  :?   :arrow:



Ok,  I'm starting to fill the base...



Space Ace ... naked  :oops:  :D



...now the top corner to do...



 :arrow:  At this point, nothing is sanded...

DarthNuno:
My god, the front-top is STRONGLY damaged  :shock:  :cry:   :arrow:



...ouch....  :x  ...  :arrow:



Ok, let's try to fix that...   :o



... OK, the surface under the vinyl is plane...



...and there is it  :D  :D  :D



One side is now fixed...  :P  ... Well, I mean the top for that side  :roll:  My good, it take a lot of time to repair that...  :?  But be indulgent, it's the first time I'm doing such wood reparation  8)
