ready for finishing...

Okay, so another landmark weekend this weekend... This saturday saw the migration into the house for finishing, as the shed is just to damp and rubbish. I've filled in all the screw holes, and any bumps I can find ready for artwork (will need a final sand down). I've sprayed the grill and the rear vent (just a gloss black... works for me) and I've carbon fibre'd (just to keep on my theme with the inner bezel) the metalwork, as it looked like it had been dipped in plastic before, and whilst I did try cleansing the metalwork; it didn't really go so well, so I've smoothed it and the put the carbon fibre over the top, as you'll see; it's actually not to bad.



If the filler has set and spot on when I check it out tonight, and I get the filler that's on the inside where the controller will sit painted, I should be able to mount the control panel tomorrow in its final resting place (for now anyway, I am discovering that it's very tempting to do more every time I do something, however until I have a big workshop (AKA re-purposed garage) this is it)

So, in the house, all fillered up... The bezel is all in place, and whilst it's not the final; I've placed the marquee in position to get an idea (at this point, it's not stuck yet, as the replacement is en-route from GameOnGrafix hence chopping off the top):
