[QUOTE="L33, post: 226754, member: 4681"] With regards to expense...a Virtual Cab can definitely work out expensive, wether its self build or bought, but of course it depends on how 'good' you want it to be. Mine for instance, doesn't have all the 'bells and whistles' like shaker motors (i think thats what they're called) and a real DMD...although I do have one just in case :) Regards shipping to Germany...if I had £30000 spare (which i don't) Id love to own a full size cnc...and I'd definitely make these cause there is a small demand for these in Europe I reckon. Unfortunately, because of my small cnc, its not something I could really do. VP cabs just released a video and they explain how initially they hand made the cab...now they use a cnc machine, and you can see how much easier and faster it is. But, if ur only making one, a circular saw and straight edge does the job too, at a fraction of the cost. With regards to the tv, Im definitely happy with the size. Some like bigger, some like smaller, but I built mine the same size as the Funhouse Table and was restricted by the size of the lockdown bar too...which meant this size was the best size for my cab. :) [/QUOTE]
