#scratch built

I "finished" the Nomad Vantage a while ago and I wasn't really in the humour to work on another (despite having started 2 others while working on the Vantage), but the desire to work on this hit too hard so I may as well start it.

I picked up a 1:24 Porsche 911 Turbo (930), same model as Johnny's and I'm making a Nomad version of it.

The Vantage was a cheap rc car I picked up for €10, the 911 is diecast aluminium, so I'm less likely to melt this one and have to rebuild the whole front.

Initially I was going to go with the CrystalDome windows but it has a full interior so it'd be a shame to cover that up. I haven't made up my mind just yet, the CrystalDome would be better aesthetically. I'll flip a coin at some point.

I just stumbled upon this work and I was quite impressed and thought it'd be a step in the right direction for the design of these cabinets! Especially the control panels.. I really don't like the Arcade1UP ones..

The one who made these still didn't do the far left and right players correctly they are supposed to be angled so the players on them stand totally to the side of the machine but they still look way better than arcade1up's control panels..

They'd probably have to make it deeper to arrange the controls exactly like the original but that'd be okay..

Regardless of all that I feel like these look quite good and I'd be happy to have something like them in the Kama Arcade!

(second pic is of the original control pane so you can see what I was talking about.. look at Raphael's controls)..

Not gonna lie though if some company mass produced these tomorrow I'd be tempted to buy them.. ESPECIALLY if they where XL sized!
