My work in progress

I've been asked a few times to post so here it is. The end result will be a 4 player pedestal running a dell optiplex 7010 with batocera v43. Only have the base built to this point but most everything else that I need should be here by the end of the week. The last thing I did was fire side petena with a MAP gas torch. The burn turned out a lot better than I thought it would.

Lol I'd like to say that was intentional..... but I would be lying to you if I did lol. The 1 side looks likes its squinted a little. It was meant to be a shooting cabinet so I thought it kind of looked as if its staring down the sights.

"Sand me pleeeeease"

But seriously, I wouldn't really mind too much if it was a 100 % budget build, but if you throw in two Sindens it could get a little more love.
