Flying Dutchman Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Thanks gbeef! Are you going to build the actual cabinet yourself as well or 're you going to use an 'old' one? Keep us updated on the progress! Cheers, FD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njay Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 i saw you asking for the MM art etc right? Contact Lord Hiryu he did the artwork from MM for my mini cab he can help you out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbeef Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Yeah i was but then i took a look at it. There inst a way to really alter MM that much because the whole cabinet design is raster and not vector.. Im going to Copy the Attack from mars cab as close as i can going only vector and add in other elements from other machines. So cab will still look like AfM but with alterations. I've always liked a cabinet with a theme and a table to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbeef Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 The Cabinet is almost done. One more coat of paint... Im still waiting on legs to arrive. also im suck for artwork on what to do. Thinking about a simple name for the cab. But i like the idea of multiple artwork, but i also like the idea of a theme.

mwong168 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Love the artwork, very original! Your cab looks great too and big thumbs up to your dad as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbeef Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thanks i think im going to make the alien hold a blaster, i have to tweak the ships tonight and the pinball machines i may change the logos. Dunno yet. For the head I'm thinking of doing something similar to the original cab except redo the alien holding the girl in his arms from the Playfield. I finished final paint a couple days just waiting for it to dry. MWong i loved how you mounted the PCB's and used strips to connect everything together do you know the technical name of the strips?

mameman Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Love the artwork, don't forget you will lose some of it with the shape of the cabinet, so best to check that does not impact where you have the graphics placed on the side part. Was one of the bits I had thought of and still got mine slightly wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriz99 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 OMFG this artwork rocks! simply awesome! is it all vector art? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
