richie_jones Posted May 9, 2017 Author Posted May 9, 2017 Yeah I really like the lines the way they come up from the Atari word. But wouldn't have Atari text on it..
jq_quint Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 yeah yeah wasnt thinking actually showing the Atari logo, just love the striped effect.... However an Atari theme would be Uber cool too ! So heres a thought, your machine focuses on the plexi see thro effect, so how about artwork on the sides "artistically" showing the inside of an arcade machine???? just a thought??
richie_jones Posted May 9, 2017 Author Posted May 9, 2017 Was in two minds about sideart going up and over decided not to as I've had it sprayed. I really liked the idea of retro looking stripes going up and over..Do you think a black background to any backlit gfx or a white one would show more detail?
richie_jones Posted May 11, 2017 Author Posted May 11, 2017 Hey jq thanks for the help..settled on the Atari logo and were gonna work with that..cheers
jq_quint Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 Good choice...As far as background goes though, why don't you just have the colour stripe not sitting on a background , just peeled straight into your cab and curve round where ever it need to?You know like racing car stripes...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Metalzoic Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 Very cool work. I like the mini Viewlix idea. I like it more than full sized actually.

richie_jones Posted June 6, 2017 Author Posted June 6, 2017 Last post before the big push to get this finished..Getting the front piece on was a major pain, but it's done and I'm happy with the results..Just got some major led blinky programming to do, perspex to order and my speaker interference issue to sort out...
Samorite Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Looking good!! Love the engraved perspex, was thinking of painting a piece black then get it engraved for my marquee ? this is one of my favorite builds so far!!

If your lighting from the sides and you want you engraving to light up make sure you get the edges flame polished or it won't work.. Also you can get the same effect by using vinyl transfers.
richie_jones Posted August 3, 2017 Author Posted August 3, 2017 Well guys its finally finished, a little bit of touching up to do but its pretty much done. Sorry for the poor pictures, ill take some better ones tomorrow.
