Hmm interesting news! Maybe he has some great ideas for the console industrie  :pac:

Off topic!

Sorry for asking but I noticed you restored a puckman cab? BTW Great job and very well done!
Myself bought recently also a Puckman cab and need artwork.
Is there side art repro for this cab? I saw you have done the cpo artwork perfectly.

Anyway I hope you can help me a bit.

many thx upfront!

Yeah, they remind me of this fellow:

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Efteling-Langnek.jpg/450px-Efteling-Langnek.jpg)

Although I later understood he was "the good guy" in the fairy tale, he scared me to death with those eyes....it wasn't so much the extension of his neck to huge heights (for a kid) it was THE EYES !!!

The bastards STILL scare kids with it today.....although I think kids are used to some different stuff now mostly....but the little one's....they still believe...
