Solar City's new temporary home
« on: December 02, 2010, 11:23:30 PM »
Time to move another game out  !!!

This time its Solar City's turn to me moved out to a new temporary home, this one will sit in Ians's (Howzat's) collection for a while, since i want to make a bit of room at home to work on some new projects. I spoke with Ian some time back, and asked him if he wanted to store another game for me, we had discussed me letting him have Klondike, but today i decided, since he likes drop target games i'd let him have Solar City for a while, as Klondike was going to be difficult to get out of the tiny room its in at the moment, and Solar City was right neat the front door  :lol

Howzat doesnt know yet he's getting this game, unless he reads this tonight its going to be a real surprise for him #@#

Anyway some pics of it being packed up, and the legs i had rechromed a few years ago being wrapped up in a towel to protect them.

well it aint exactly "mint" but thanks for the compliment ^^^
This game was one of my very early resto efforts, and as such, there are areas that could definitely be improved upon. So having said that, it is on the list to be RE-restored one day *%*
