I agree with Stegrey and Guddler, as much as you want it done, I think in the long term it would look better, even in arcade lighting with neons and posters everywhere.
Couldn't agree more - was going to skimp the taping or skimming just to keep the costs down.
But when the plasterboard was all up it still looked a bit like a sheeted workshop.
I was only 250 quid to get the entire thing plastered - considering my overall costs, I was pretty chuffed. And now it looks sorta like part of the house. But only with more arcade cabs
