That's looking really good! Looking forward to seeing what kind of side art you decide upon.

a few more pics from this afternoon's "try it out" session...

And yes, Steel Battalion fits on it quite well, although I found that it was much easier to use the stool my son is standing on while playing since I need to use both feet on the pedals.

so I started installing the T molding and...I don't care for the stuff. Any other ideas for finishing the edges?

Maybe white was a bad choice? Try going black?

it isn't the color, it is the material - working it into the groove and around corners is a pain. I read some tips earlier tonight though to heat up the molding first, so may try that tomorrow.

on the plus side, my wife and I played Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo for the first time together and she loved it :)

Speaking of which, what does your wife think of this project as a whole?

I've been showing my wife your progress pictures (she loves it by the way) and I asked her what she thought. She thinks that we should take a crack at building one too. :lol:
