[Scratch build] Zaccaria Piggybank - Let the cash flow in !

Very nice. I always like your direct and quick approach. You've got an idea, and BAHM, You're right on it. 

[PaulSwan]

A bit towards it - a scan of the Jackrabbit monitor surround. Your lucky day - one day later and it would have been back in the cab

I'll get a photo of the Money Money instruction sheet to replace the Jackrabbit one - it's otherwise the same surround.

The scan is as 15 sheets in 3 x 5 matrix (missing the empty one, 11) at 150 DPI. Total size is 60Mb. I know there are better art folks with the right software on this DL who can composite them back as one and regrade them

Thanks Paul !

That would be me

I've been hoping someone would repro the Zac fireworks cardboard bezel. I shall watch this thread with great interest!

[Etienne MacGyver]

The stitching started out perfectly, only from scan 10 and up it misses some pieces here and there..  



Could you rescan those with more overlap paul ?
(or all if its not too much of your time, but then with the edges also with overlap ?)

Thanks !

EDIT:

Looking again at the cab, could you also make a straight picture of both inner sides (triangle part) ?



That would be Awsome Paul !

[gyruss]

Hahahaha, love it, this is going to turn out great!
Too bad you have a little bit of a space issue, would love to see you make a full seize replica.

[PaulSwan]

Yes, I'll have another shot at the scan the other way round and without the white background because it looks like that's making the colour go off.

I'll also get a photo of the side pieces - they are still on the wall of the cab.

Paul.

[Etienne MacGyver]

Youre the best paul ! 

THANKS !

[Etienne MacGyver]

Just a little update,

I did the calculation of the supports and its time to create them 




First ouline the width of the panels..




Using the bezel, marquee and controlpanel as a reference for that part..




hmm really start to look like a zacc ! 




Little pieces of wood as supports measured and sawed..




Time to check them and position them..




Glued them in place and fixated them with some clamps.



Will let them sit overnight and tomorow they will be rock solid !
This glue is superstrong 

If you really need to glue someting that needs to last, this is the glue i reccomend ! 

Later more folks !

[PaulSwan]

Another shot at it, also including photos of the two side walls...

This one is a 3 x 8 matrix, 100Mb or so, done the other way round and with dark blue backdrop.

Paul.

[Etienne MacGyver]

downloading it as we speak 

Thanks !

[Etienne MacGyver]

Again a little update..

After removing the clamps from the supports, its time to clean the "gluebrew" 




i just cutted out the brew with a hobbyknife (scalpelsharp) where the panels will be glued to in the future, not everywhere..
In detail..




Then i started to create the backpanel of the monitor area, and glue that to the monitor support..
 



Note that the underside of the monitor panel already has a 45 degree angle 




after figuring out the monitor area, i was not happy with my earlier control panel..
so i cutted a new ..  still needs some filing at the edge..




The panel also has a 45 degree angle for easy mounting later..



Thats it for today guys ..

[PaulSwan]

Do you already have side art and glass art available?
Paul.

[Etienne MacGyver]

I still need:

The Bezel glass
The control panel
The marquee

i only have some crappy pics of those..

i have highres fullsize scans stitched together from spacestation sideart.

I will use that, since i like that more than the starsplash that they used for money money original
also money money is in a full upright originaly, so i just put it in a mini 

If you can provide the other artwork too, i will be very gratefull !

Thanks already ! 

[Superully]

nice job, etienne, i wouldn't know how to do that. good thing that my cabinets come readily assembled!
