I'm building my personal Gaming Room...

[Nic-fryer]

Just went back and checked, April, 2009 on page 23 was the first mention of the v3.

And the whole project of the gaming rooms started way back in 2005  

By the way. I love what you've done, Bruno, and I wish that I didn't live in Australia and could come see your 'lair' in person, but the flights are too expensive.  

[DarthNuno]

Glad to see you appreciate how this V3 turns ... but it's not over yet 

Even with no game, the fun already started at least for one person

Don't start saying that yet. He hasn't started building it yet. But I'm sure he will.

My only fear for Bruno is that building the room might be easier than re-assembling that huge game...

I hope all goes well.. but:

So many PCB's...  So many moving parts  (ld players)  projectors.. (do you have relacement lamps?)  So many parts of the theatre stored in many places (that are not climate controlled)  and lets not forget remembering how to put it all back together!!!!

Also, be sure to clean each piece very well before assembling, keep the dust and nasty little bugs out of the new room!

Wow, she is already a big girl, feels like she was born a few months ago.

I've been watching you build your gamerooms since V1 and V2, and this V3 is looking absolutely gorgeous. As someone who contracted very little with my gameroom and did a lot of the work myself, I must say I am impressed with how much work you've done on your own. It's definitely a good feeling. Can't wait to see it all filled up along with the Galaxian Theater assembly and other various games.

Hi Jeremy, and welcome to DLF'/ALS'  Glad you finally registered here.
Your basement is totally awesome!  Congratulation!

Yes, time flies... next month she will have 2 years old 

Regarding the re assembling of the theater, I'll give all details inside its dedicated topic right here, so stay tuned a little bit more, guys

While the concrete is drying...



...we put the tiles, and I apply the second layer of my 'V1 inspired' orange color   

[Sjaak]

Any special things in mind for the inside of the toilet?

[McVenco]

Well, some toilet paper might come in handy 

[Muerto]

Well, some toilet paper might come in handy 

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

While the concrete is drying...

At first glance at the top of this photo it looks like some one 'crouched' down with a white carrier bag over their head...very sinister 

But then I looked closer,its a black refuse bag with a white bag sticking out of the top 

V3 is coming along superb Bruno,top work

Nothing at this stage... maybe something special for the mirror

Ok let's progress on this story. Now the carpet is applied, it's time to put skirting boards.
First, around the door.

After :



...and the rest of the room 



...everywhere where there is an edge 



Yes, my wife is helping me

Done :



Now, it's time to play with the lighting... dozens of colors combinations  to test...



Well, I guess I'll wait until the cabinets will be there, before selecting the right colors...

[smalltownguy2]

Looking good! I love the color combinations. Your lighting ideas should work out very well too.

Of course, there's never enough pictures of your wife helping. Feel free to share more of that too.
