    Smile Tokyo Skyline Mural for Attic Project

    Hey Pachi friends,
    I'm looking for a night skyline of Tokyo for a back drop for my pachi's. I swear I've seen them before but am having no luck, I figured I'd ask you guys (and lady) if you've seen any? I've found alot of New york ect. and am leaning toward this one

    I'm finally back working on remodeling my 80 year old attic, for the 2 of you that remember of that lounge/gamerrom project and just spent $700 to get the 80 year old electrical completly rewired..so now I HAVE POWER!! I helped with alot of it.( I almost had a Chevy Chase Christmas Vacation moment by almost falling through the ceiling.) I think I'm only a few weeks away from being finished but I have alot to do. I will get to stain my custom cabinets and show off the pachi'ds the way they were meant to be. here are a random few pics of the project, I plan on having extensive before and after pics to show everyone when I 'm finished.

    I think a Tokyo Skyline Mural would look awesome as a backdrop for your Pachis!!



    Looks like you have a lot of work clearing up to do first though...

    Looking forward to seeing your Pics as this progresses

    Dont worry those are old pics from a month ago, I've logged about 60 hours so far up there,so the dirty work with the plumbing, cleaning, scraping, squirrel removing, window replacing, wall repair, overall not fun stuff. The fun stuff of painting and bar building ect are ahead. The electrician would have made a 180 if I didnt get things cleared out first, but I did insist on 2 outlets for the Pachi area

    Greyscale? Perhaps my memory is deceiving me, but isn't your gameroom the absolute wildest shade of green?

    Good memory The color is Fresh Melon in the Gameroom http://www.pachitalk.com/forums/show...green+gameroom but I'm trying to have a more suttle mood in the attic. The green will stay with the arcades and pinballs but the pachi's will move up a floor where I think they will have more space and much more chance of being played. I will have a few accent walls with color and...well I wont spoil the suprises..you'll see when I'm finished

    The Vegas one looks very tempting and quite reasonable with the price..and its bloody huge!!! I was hoping for a neat tokyo skyline with those bright red airplane lights on all the highrises but the others you all have found will fit in nicely in stead.

    thats funny you say that because there was a Lassen pic and frame in a local furniture store for real cheap, it was the only lassen and it was 75% less than any other picture, so the price was less than the frame was worth...I like Lassen's stuff but unless I move to Miami or Hawaii I cant put those space dolphins on my walls

    I got my skyline mural today in the mail!!! I'm still going strong with all the little projects for the attic. My handy man was supposed to come monday but cant come until this weekend so I'm doing as much as I can without him, hisd wood work ability is much better than mine. I bought a basically new black bar with black stools and a two door mini fridge as well today...three cheers for Craigslist.

    update, getting close(actually still have alot to do 4-5 days worth of stuff)...My goal is Saturday, and there is no missing this goal since people are invited and I bought semi-expensive wine. Thats right wine will be drank and pachi will be played!! I hope to crash through my coffee table no earlier than 2am in celebration and have a heck of a headache the next morning.
