FiF, Jr – Week 19: Bezel and Control Panel Finals

While waiting for some paint to try we decided to finish up some artwork stuff. My dad’s neighbor kindly let us use his table saw again to cut the tinted plexiglass for the bezel. All the other plexi was already cut. Applying the bezel sticker wasn’t easy but we took our time and it (mostly) went well. There’s one small crease we just couldn’t fix no matter what we tried but unless you’re looking for it, you won’t see it. After that I reassembled the joystick and put the artowork and the top plexi onto the control panel, and finally the buttons and t-molding to hold it in place. Wow! I think it turned out very sharp looking. Maybe not perfect, but still pretty impressive. Take a look below to see for yourself. After a few more days of paint we’ll be on to final assembly and then playing this thing!
