jahilton2002 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 Started fitting hardware now...... i think its just T-mould, marquee light, config of the software and the wiring left! Blue and the white goes really well together. The red t-mould is just there to hold the perspex in place. The final t-mould will be white.
trublu289 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Just a thought have you ever thought about making that logo out of acrylic to make it illuminate or something similar of the fashion. I know it's mainly in the inside but definitely something cool.
naota Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 I have to say this cab is looking sweeter and sweeter. I cannot wait to see the final product When you're in a town like this all covered with smoke, you forget that there's a world outside. Nothing amazing happens here. And you get used to that, used to a world where everything is ordinary. Every day we spend here is like a whole lifetime of dying slowly. But now Haruko is here. That's how I know there really is a world outside.
adam763 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 This is a very professional looking cab, I congratulate you sir! Can I ask what paint you're using and how you're applying it? When I was building cabs 9 times out of 10 we'd finish them in vinyl (which looked the nuts but was a complete nightmare) because we couldn't get the paint blemish free... Building custom cabinets since 2006..!!

Cool, My local B&Q is just round the corner from me. I remember once using some really thick paint which I ran out of before I finished the job and finished it off with some matt motor spray, the two reacted with each other, gave off a dodgy smell, but dryed to a great texture - alas it was something I failed to replicate again..! Building custom cabinets since 2006..!!
jahilton2002 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Ok started some of the main wiring now. and added some ambient lighting. we're thinking of having a glass/perspex "window" on the rear of the cab... not sure what shape yet tho..... anyway;
trublu289 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I knew adding some lighting to it would be a nice addition. Can't wait to see it finished.
koolbrez67 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Wow what a great cab. Can't wait to see it finished.
jahilton2002 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 Added to buttons and sticks. need to look at wiring the control panel now.
scotty7499 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Hi, Absolutly awsome job!! Just one question what are the metal plates called to keep your marquee perspex in place, I ask as its something I would like to include in any further builds I might do, thanks!

jahilton2002 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Posted February 26, 2012 Decided to fitt a perspex sheet at the rear also...... but have to wait for the paint to dry before fitting it!
sparkywallnut Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Are you going to have this thing sitting in the middle of a room? How are people ever going to appreciate the back of it? It would be cool if you could somehow put a mirror angled on the back wall where this sits to reflect it somehow. I don't know! It's gota have the best looking rearend on a machine that Iv'e ever seen! (unless you include that chick from terminator 3 though, she might have you beat!) Haha! Great work as always!

naota Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 This cabinet build is getting prettier and prettier with each update. I am liking it. When you're in a town like this all covered with smoke, you forget that there's a world outside. Nothing amazing happens here. And you get used to that, used to a world where everything is ordinary. Every day we spend here is like a whole lifetime of dying slowly. But now Haruko is here. That's how I know there really is a world outside.
evil eye Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 So friggin amazing. It keeps getting better!
sparkywallnut Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 What type/gauge of wire is that, and where did you get it from? Love that color and look! Man, I just finished wiring my seconnd control panel up, and mine looks like a tangled friggn mess compared to this. The second time around I told myself that I was going to take my time and make it look pretty. It started out nice, but I have RGBs, so it started getting messy really quick. I finnaly said screw it. Haha! I think you've inspired me to redo it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
