donkey kong build from scratch

[count3rkill3r]

Hello ,

My name is Nick 29 years old (from belgium) and i'm introduced myself a few years ago.

I did not post that mutch on this forum but i read alot here.
Sorry for my bad English but i think everyone understands what i'm writing  
I got inspired by the buildings of a member from this forum called Scr33n , i saw his fantastic buildings .
Now i got myself into trying to build my own donkey kong arcade cabinet.
First i needed to found a plan on the internet i got one from jacobud.

after a lot of mesurements and calculating i got my plan finished.

it looks pretty good i think




now the next step is buying my MDF panels and cut them out

ive searching for mdf but i can only choose between 12-18-22 mm what will i take?

I will post more updates soon

Oh and what is a good site to buy parts like side art and stuff?

Grtz

Hey Nick,

I'm sure the eyes of Scr33n, our 'master replica cabinet builder' are upon you! 
www.quarterarcade.com has good parts for DK.
Good luck on this project.

thx guys

I'm thinking about using 18mm MDF and place 3/4" T-molding on it

i will have 0.5mm overhang either side which will barely be noticeable i think

I still have a spare set of Nintendo shape T-molding available.

[count3rkill3r]

Can someone tell me what the color code is for the blue paint? (dulux or levis or..... paint ?available in Belgium stores like gamma hubo brico.....)


thx

[DarthNuno]

Arf, can't help for the blue... Orange maybe? 

[level42]

DK in red is best. And Darth has the color code for Dulux

[count3rkill3r]
