Anyone on here build this or know more about it?

I found a photo of a cab based on the same plans as mine and I wondered if anyone on here built it or remembers seeing it  before? the only details I have is that it was built by a guy named Chris Maltbie from Maryland, USA

I've seen this cab a ton of times. AFAIK the person who made it is from Denmark.

Check out his website here:

Edit:

Hmm .. When I took a closer look I see that the cabs are slightly different (different controls, side art doesn't match), but the cab name and marquee etc. is the same. Very strange..

For comparison:

The display is different between the two as well.  I can't tell for sure if the bezel is different (one has a rounded image and the other is square), but the angle the display is mounted at is slightly different.  Also, the second cabinet's display is mounted higher.

The cab with the Thundercats artwork was built by Rasmus Kønig Sørensen. He kindly made his plans, CPO artwork and marquee available for download, so others (like me) could build the same cab. The image I posted was one such example of someone who has built the same cab, used his marquee and CPO but has different side art.

I am trying to track down whoever made this particular variant as he seems to have squeezed in a trackball and I wondered how that went, as its a 2player cab thats only 60cm wide.

Why not take Sørensen's plans and make it a little wider so you can fit a trackball? It's probably what this guy has done by the looks of it.

Looks to me like he simply moved the controls to the edges by a few inches each player.  The joystick for P1 is VERY close to the side which almost looks uncomfortable.  P2's buttons are pretty close to the edge as well, so that might cause issues.

If I were you, I'd mock up a cardboard CP to see how the controls feel right up by the sides to see if you could live with it.  If so, you probably could find a way to squeeze a trackball in.  Looks pretty tight to me though.

Because hindsight is a wonderful thing and It's a little late now

It will be tight, but you can squeeze a trackball into 60cm. Mine is the same size, and though I haven't done it myself, I have drawn up plans in the past and it would work.
