That looks really fantastic!Â Very nicely done!

Here is mine! Its a 4 in 1, pacman, donkey Kong, space invaders and galaga.

When I first hooked it up, the machine was dead, its board was fried in a certain place, meaning it couldn't be played

I have tested the screen (you know the most expensive bit) and it works so do the buttons and joystick, but they wont be staying unfortunately!

I'll keep you all updated with its progress as it comes along, though it may not be up and running properly for a bit as we are moving house soon!

FYI paid £20 for the machine! Clearly from some guy who was on some sort of drug... Needing money! Haha his loss my gain!

Wow,Â nice stuff there Akuza!

If you click this link you can then go left through the pictures and see my custom made arcade.Â My wife and I have been building them for a long time now.Â They are a special, light-weight design that works great for consoles.Â They can be used with pretty much whatever hardware you want to put in them.Â

I may post a topic and put up pictures with better descriptions of each if anyone is interested!?!

Nice stuff, Papa.Â I saw the pics of the MOTU figures.Â Did you get the new Limited Edition soundtrack for the show?Â

Papa · April 21, 2015, 02:38:14 AM

For MOTU?Â Didn't know about it!?!Â I made my own MOTU figures from the originals, yeah.Â I used ball joints that I made from a custom-made mold.Â I plan on doing the same process with Thundercats, Silverhawks, and Guardians of the Gemstones figures.Â They pose very well.Â I really like the MOTU Classics line of toys and emulated the paint designs for some of my remakes.Â There are comparisons of the unmodded, modded and Classics versions of several of them amongst those pictures.Â I really am toy crazy!!!Â :35:
