Here's the 1/64 scale retro arcade cabinets I made. Score / fold on the dotted lines, cut on the solid lines.
I fold the interior first, then carefully position & glue the sides, one at a time. Then the back & front go on. Hard to describe, but I think you can figure it out.
Paint however you like. This style of cabinet was used for Galaga, Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man in the early 80's.
I found it useful to cut a small piece of cardstock for the bottom, and glue a little magnet inside, and use that to hold it to a stick for painting.
EDIT: Since this is getting noticed, I'm adding a fine lines version, in case that's easier for anyone. I hope you all have fun!
There is something so funny to me about Vandal having his own YouTube channel. Like yes, the blood-covered gopher-looking mismash of multiple corpses with a Boston accent has his own channel where one of the vids is him breaking into someone's (Mark's) property and the other looks like a hallway from hell.
yeah i know the shoddy phone camera photo is cruddy, but anyone else have shots or vistas in games that make you wanna cry /pos
augh i gotta go back and try to beat excitebike 64. underrated as hell. very fucking good game, the control is weird and gets pretty technical, but the sense of flow you get when it all starts to click is sublime. shit gets HARD on that last cup like jesus christ. the cpu racers become heat seeking missiles and the only thing on fire is ur sorry ass

After my modest success with the 1/64 scale shipping pallets, I was thinking about what else I could try to make, and settled on a Jersey barrier and an arcade cabinet. Turned out pretty well.
These are the result of hours of work over a couple evenings. Desktop hobby plotter-cut cardstock & 0.4 mm sheet styrene parts. And Tamiya putty, solvent glue, superglue & acrylic paint.
The Jersey barriers were extremely fiddly and difficult to assemble, though if I make more, I think I've figured out a simpler way to do them.
The arcade cabinet was slightly easier, but seems bare without any graphics or colors on it.
I've realized it's very helpful to put a tiny magnet in the base of these things, to hold them to a stick while painting.
