I think you need to hang up the idea if creating a game room and instead build a hospital ward.

Ace, looking good

[Moparformances]

its really coming together and looking great

[pinball wizard]

it's looking great !

[beachcat]

your right on target!!
hope the family members are feeling better

[KimbaWLion]

Well a family with sick family members is something I know all too well... Thats right my wife JUST went back into the hospital again for the next 2 weeks...

We had a flood and I making that area my game room part but I do not have time or the skill set to make a ball return system etc. A place to put all my machines and power source etc. should do it for me! At least I can look at your has strive for something.

Thats looking fantastic steve sorry to hear about the family i hope they all recover quick

I know what you mean by projects and work getting in the way i havent been around properly for a while as i just got my own buisness off the ground wich in turn created more projects of its own purchase van convert van to crew cab ply line and carpet van build flight cases for gear so van transport (as apposed to carefuly loaded car) dosent damage it geese if i had remembered the hastle from the first time round then id be bliping barcoads on a checkout some where

only good thing is its given me a happy occupied mind and got me off your back waiting for the next games room installment
and stopped me finding pinball machines ect to wreck marrages with

Well, now that things have calmed down, and the fall is setting in...

I guess it's time to get my butt back to work on the gameroom

The dust seems to have collected rather thick, and my wife has started using the room as storage,

It's time!!


I just sent off an email to Kiai for a load of new data counters, (hopefully we can get them here soon)

Here's my to do list:

Firgure out some slogan or saying, to put on that window valance

Find some thin undercounter lighting that looks like neon (have some leads on that one)

Putty the nail holes and repaint the crown moulding.

Drill holes for the small pachi flags, and mount data counters.

Wire the L-pads for volume control.

Make the door to cover the upper part of the cabinet.

Start work on my third attempt at the upper hopper distribution system.

Door handles on the inside of the doors (It's hard to get out )

Finish the mural on the wall behind the sofa.

Find a small hanging reading light or lamp (since this was originally supposed to be a reading room)

And someday build a cabinet to hold my strereo equipment.


So, once again, I ask all of you for you're help, to keep me back on track.


Oh, and one other thing...

Spoiler

I think I'll build a ship model too!

[Drunkenclam]

Try EL wire instead of neon, Safer and can go in any shape. Also available in different thicknesses. up to 10mm thick.

I do have some El-wire that I used for another project, but it doesn't cast enough light for what I need.
