This side is better then the first, but if you want to reach superully quality i suggest you try another method like vinyl or spry painting the cabinet.

eh, superully paint quality? my paint jobs are far from perfect (see jungle king). i've talked to scr33n and his products seem to come out much better than mine. however, judging from his pics, his apartment also seems to be much cleaner than mine :P. my cats really lose lots of hair and my cleaning skills (and my willingness to clean) are probably below zero. i hate every kind of housework! :twisted:
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

Listen, when you are working on something you see EVERYTHING. Once finished, in use, you dont even see all those tiny things anymore. One question/remark. Would painting it while upright have gained less dust on the surface ?Of course its a lot easier to roll when its laying down.....

hey pieter, i'm sure your brother wants to have this machine to be in perfect shape, so how about a new roll of true flat t-molding? it's on sale right now for 20 bucks a roll. i'll be ordering soon, so now's your chance to jump on board ...

Thanks, i rearranged my game room a few weeks ago, its now less cramped with cabs and there is still place for a cabaret/mini in the future.

that is a really nice selection of games you have there - true classics all the way (well, some might argue about moon patrol ...)!

if i rearranged everything again i got space for 2 more, otherwise there is room for one small cab across the donkey kong.

But i don't intent to buy anything new soon, i'm pretty happy with the selection i got right now and there's still lot's of work to be done.

Looks great Pieter !
