Here is my 2nd attempt at a balsa wood model, much happier with this one, as I used thinner sheets of balsa wood - heres the pictures
Tools of the day:
Design cut from the paper arcade template:
Sides cut out:
All parts cut and stuck:
Screen and coin door attached:
Marquee in place:
Side view:
Control panel in place:
Done (almost, just missing joysticks - need to get em bought!)
First one and second one side by side, the thinner balsa looks better, and as you can see SMB now has joysticks!!!

Re: Balsa Arcade - Robotron
Absolutely fantastic! I wonder what your display cabinet will be like when you've honed the craft over the coming years?
Why not take things one step up by creating a mini arcade cabinet comprising of C64 handheld console innards and an LCD screen?
If not that, as I recall it being done elsewhere, then a mini working cabinet containing Gameboy or Lynx parts?
