Retrocade - bartop

[mikekim]

Wierd on the bloom issue. To rectify all you would need to do is refil the invader image with black. Its not a complex image.

Yeah It'll be an easy job. I'll work on it tonight and post it back to the FTP in case anyone else wants it full black.

Cheers,

Chris

edit - I've uploaded the sideart and control panel with full black on the invader (also the control panel has the button layout layers hidden). Mike, I've put them in your folder with "_frl" on the end of the filename. If you prefer I can move them elsewhere.

Hey

Can you give me some tips on applying

Your vinyl like how did you prep the wood and how did you cut the stickers that fitted on the side ie was it after or before you fitted them? Or id this subjected has been covered could you post a handy link to the thread please

Thanks in advance

look at the sticky above by Lucian - he has a video on how to apply the graphics..

[monkeychunkuk]

Yup i watched that cheers bud,

Do you find the edges unstick around the curved part of the side art?

[mikekim]

not once the graphic has stuck down after application

[monkeychunkuk]

Sorry to pain in the ass just a few last questions.

Did you use t strip around the edge of your machine! If so how did you fit it

Also i copied your measurements and yours like other have a gap on the bottom panel that sits under the control panel

Is their any reason for this can i block it off ?

I have got 10mm t-molding on the cab, at the time i took the photos the cab was supplied with a cheap chrome edging strip, which looked rubbish, so i bined the strip and ordered some proper stuff

So it came with a groove for the strip then?

[mikekim]

nope..

had to put a 1mm cut in the sides with a dremmel cutting disc

[monkeychunkuk]

Hmmm I don't wanna risk slipping on my machine I think I'll be happy with the edge I have

Great effort btw

[mikekim]

Used the dremmel depth guide attachment.

Took 5 minutes per side

How does the t trim fit is it glued or does it just click in ?

[mikekim]

Your going to love it real life mate every one compliments mine

[esmith13]

silly question but how does one access this FTP folder of yours you keep mentioning? I looked on the hyperspin FTP site but I'm either blind or looking in the wrong place?? I would love to check out some of the files you mentioned putting there...

Thanks in advance,

Eric

[mikekim]

Eric,

looks like the folder has been cleaned from the ftp.

let me know what files you want and, i'll sort you out some download links.

mike.

[esmith13]

Thanks for taking the time to help out!

Not to sound greedy but I was hoping to get your templates for the wood cuts and the artwork in as raw/hi-res a form as you have them. The reason I say that is because I don't want to directly copy your design but I need a baseline to get an idea on size and shape. My full size cabinet was easy to "wing it" from project arcade's plans because there would always be more room than needed... With the WeeCade concept a few millimeters could be the difference between a nice functional product and an nice shell that nothing fits inside of...

Sorry for the trouble.

Mike,

This is amazing, I am ordering a kit from miniarcades next week, got a 19 monitor and 3ghz multicore small form facttor pc ready and have just ordered an ipac2 with joysticks and buttons.

I would love it if you could send me a link for your stunning side artwork please. I want an invaders themed machine myself, no other theme will do!

Cheers Jason

[mikekim]

Bartop plans
