Balsa Arcade - Robotron

[Subzero]

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!!!

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?
