Going home....

[Muerto]

Some of you (if not all) knew that i have been living in Sevenoaks, (UK) but now it´s time to go back.... to The Shed  
The cab´s i have here will be transported with all our stuff in an arctic trailer (!) Thanks Olly!!!!!!
Started wrapping some of my cab´s today, as i´m going to be in charge of loading them/unloading them, it was a light wrapping they got:

I work parttime in a warehouse, so i have access to alot of cardboard, shrink wrap, and those hard cardboard corners...:








More to come.......

Great job ! Arctic trailer ? Don't switch it on !

[gyruss]

must be nice to go back to that wonderful game room of yours!

Are you going to extend the room seeing that you bought some more cabs?

[level42]

But uhmmmmm, why did you put the initials of the games on them, I mean, isn't it our pride that er recognize the games by the silhouette only

Yes, i´m looking forward to that!
No extension of the gameroom   the council won´t let me. The plan is to store some of the cab´s, and swap games from time to time...

Hehe, i only did that for fun, and to my own pleasure

Hell yeah!!!!!!!!

[level42]

Yeah yeah, very cool if it works out !!

One question: how to do the folds ?

Michael: in this case the initials make sense. Else you might mistake it for an Asteroids

[Luigi]

Don't get me wrong, you're doing a great job wrapping the cabs...BUT I think they are far worse to handle now. No point, no egdes left to grab them. Or did I miss something

One question: how to do the folds ?

"Rillen" is the answer, or perforating, but i think rillen is the better solution in this case :



for rillen you can use a simple pizza knive, for perforating, we can make a dotted line and let the laser cut that out



When the time is there (if i can make it happen, because i dont know for sure yet) ill make a dedicated topic, because i am derailing Michaels topic now..  

First i need to check the file after testprinting and folding in a real cabinet.., then find the right cardboard, and after that test i need to trace the file to vectors, so the lasercutter understands what line to folow..

They still have edges, because i put those reinforced corners on after i wrapped them in cardboard, and they are easier to grap and move around because of the shrink wrap, it's very sticky when you grap it, though, if you have water or sweat on you hands, you have to wipe them because thets makes it very slippy...

The last cab was packed up yesterday, did the Grand Champion Cockpit the other day, buy i don´t have any pictures of that  





So that´s it, a total of 6 games is going to Denmark with me.......... ..
