Beware the Hillman
YES I am doing this in the bedroom. what can I do the weather is just rubbish and I cant get hold of a propper work tent
my Wife is brilliant love her to bits
she never complains about my cabs and usiong up space and being up late etc etc
in fact she really likes the cab
only time she ever complains and its understandable is the COST. she always tells me to watch my spending

not sure of the scale, it just sort of built it to what I thought I liked
its 1.2M tall and a little thinner on the bum, other than that its pretty much to scale silverfox07862014-11-04 02:04:15

not updated in a while
the cab is playing and is fully wired
just need to do a few minor things and add the artwork and moulding and then where home free
there was an issue with the Sync on the board it has the odd sync so am waiting for the sync cleaners to arrive to sort that out
will then im running a 48 in 1
I also decided to give the whole cab a Polyurethane sealing coat, which will help it be easier cleaned and will stop stains from being absorbed. it was a great call as the cab looks so much nicer now, its a satin coat but still has that light glow to it that wasn't there before.

Fox...you're a nutter, but I like it!
Great job so far dude!

I must say Foxy, that does look like a tidy little scratch build you have done and very amusing that you have done this in your bedroom.
The only thing (and it maybe the photos), is that yellow the correct colour as it looks quite pale compared to a Midway Pacman cab..?

Thanks Roger, means a lot coming from you
yes the paint was tested and it dried the correct colour, on the test card, on my hand and on the side of the tin
but as soon as it went on the cab it dried lighter, that's why I used the PU overcoat to darken it
you can see the difference in colour in the last photos where the PU has darkened it a little
most of the cab will be art worked so only a little will be the actual pain colour so I should be able to get away with it

I need to come over and see that now, as I have a whiff of an idea for something similar...
Oh oh!
thanks victor
and you know your welcome anytime
Great to see it all done, you did a cracking job with that. I've been waiting a long time to see that art fitted to the cab
