Looking for a small piece of Happ Pica vinyl...
« on: June 10, 2013, 09:43:46 PM »
Ok.....time to admit it.


I royally screwed up.

Our own Superully handed a small piece of Happ Pica vinyl to me during the last Eurocade. I needed it. Badly.
To cover the last piece that was still bare one my SW cockpit, the backdoor that Hi kindly made for me.

Believe it or not but I set out to install it the next day after Eurocade 2012 and well.....maybe I shouldn't have...

Really I felt exited about finishing up that last piece of the cab and it went absolutely perfect. I neatly trimmed the edges and installed a brand new lock.

Then I tried to put it in the cab.........wait.....why doesn't it fit, it fitted before, Hi did excellent work creating the edge......wait......no........fuck.....no...........

I put the vinyl on the wrong side of the door !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted: :evil: :twisted: :evil: :twisted:

CRAP !

Against knowing better (I just tightly rolled the vinyl, it looked so sweet and neat) I tried to see if I could remove it and stick it to the other side. Of course it failed right away........  :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

I could not believe I made that mistake and couldn't publish it earlier because I was so ashamed for ruining the vinyl that Ully just gave me...........and here I was STILL not able to finish the SW....and Eurocade 2013 is sooner than we think....

And it MUST be that Happ Pica vinyl, all the other black parts have it installed so No way I am going to put something else on it....

Soooooooooooo, is there any good soul that happens to have a small piece of this stuff left ? pretty sure Ully said it was his last piece...I am so sorry Ully.... :oops:

I'll get exact dimensions ASAP but its less than 50cm Im sure.

LOL.

Problem is fixed. micksimmonds from KLOV kindly offered to send me a piece of this very expensive vinyl for just shipping costs.
However that would still be 40 bucks according to him, so I kindly asked Love if it could go on container #3, and shipping within the US was just 9 bucks !!! :) :)

Pretty amazing things still happen @ KLOV :)  :spaceace: :spaceace:

I am also going to get some of this stuff ( http://na.suzohapp.com/all_catalogs/accessories/49-0474-10 )

How much do I need for a complete SW cockpit? And which other (early) Atari Games have this kind of vinyl?
