Two Become One

I started putting the seperate pieces together today, and although it was quite slow going, it's actually starting to take shape now and look like a real arcade machine! Well, with a bit of imagination that is. I had a bit of trouble with some screws, I couldn't figure out why they weren't screwing in properly, took me about half an hour to realise my screwdriver was pretty much totally stripped. Also had to refit a couple of pieces as I didn't follow the instructions properly, but it's all good now. So, take a look:

And one from the back:


Tomorrow I'll be attaching some pieces on the front side. Who knows, I might even make it up to attaching the control panel. Don't hold your breath though! I've gotta work out exactly what I'm going to do with the coin slot. I've got an actual coin slot to fit in to the front, but no door to open up and retrieve the coins! So I might have to buy some hinges and cut one out. We shall see...
