tonberryhunter Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Its been awhile since I posted up on here but I have been busy building mini versions of Japanese arcade machines. Particularly the Sega Astro City and MVS-U4. I designed everything on the computer paying close attention to scale and proportions. The cabs are mainly mdf with a bit of apoxie sculpt and shaping. Inside both units is a micro atx system. The screens are 4:3 15" HP LCDs. 1024x768 resolution. The Astro has a scanline generator in it. Note I'm still finishing up the marquee for the Astro. Check out my Facebook page for more projects and info. https://www.facebook.com/multigamesystem **UPDATED SHOT of completed units** 8/25/2015
tonberryhunter Posted August 7, 2015 Author Posted August 7, 2015 That is sweet man, love the looks of candy cabs. Thanks buddy as do I. I'm thinking about working on a bartop style Vewlix and possibly other candy cabs.
HazzardActual Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 MAN! both of those are beautiful, If you have build progress photos please post them.
Agrajag Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Absolutely stunning! It never ceases to amaze me how people can hand build something out of MDF that looks like factory moulded plastic. The Astro City cab is astonishing. How on Earth do you do it??? HyperSpin behaving oddly?

SuperGoataku Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Awesome work buddy, you've definitely captured the look of the Candy's. You've got some seriously good MDF tooling skills there.

Thank you and it took careful planning and lots of shaping. I have been scratch building stuff all my life everything from model sail boats to cosplay armor. So many of the tricks I learned over the years got put to the test on these two builds. Also lots of filler and primer
tonberryhunter Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 MAN! both of those are beautiful, If you have build progress photos please post them. Need to organize all the photos I took into some sort of build gallery. My faccebook https://www.facebook.com/multigamesystem and instagram https://instagram.com/robertdunnart/ have lots of progress shots.
