Hi Jason, Welcome 
I checked out that eBay link. I noted the following comment:

Over 10 years ago we decided to do things different.  We designed and built a TRUE classic arcade machine that doesn't run on Windows or Linux like the other copy cat companies out there.

So I am guessing they are using a xxx-in-1 board then? 

Cool theme for a cab. Have you thought of having Snoopy laying across the top of the marquee like the Atari Puppy Pong prototype 'Snoopy Pong'?

 

[Jasonmm]

WOW , I love the Snoopy on top look.

I dont know anything about the EBAY link , except to say , I CANT WAIT !!

Thanks Jason

What does the new Snoopy look like HarumaN?

 

[HaRuMaN]

Unfinished snoopy?

[HaRuMaN]

Another one:

[AmericanDemon]

Im so confused by the maganized Charlie brown.  Is this just someones re-imagining or is this true concept work for some sort of anime?

[HaRuMaN]

Someone's re-imaginings, I think.

[Jasonmm]

I can dig the new school art , if I was 16 , I would be all over it , but I am 40.

Couple of new ones pre edits ...



kick plate



I am paying ArcadesOverLays.com to print these for me , so I am really excited to see the final results ...

I think you should use the Peanuts font.

[Jasonmm]

I think you should use the Peanuts font.

I thought I was ... do you know the name of the font ?

thxs Jason

[TOK]

Not sure... It appears you're using comic sans, which does look like the text in the comic, I was referring to the text in the Peanuts logo, which is a bolder, shaded text. It might not even be a font, since it was hand drawn. It just looks much more distinctive to me, and would look good as side/marquee art.

[emphatic]

I agree on the font. Comic Sans is terrible unless you're a school teacher that need to make some quick stuff for the very young students. I'd go with this http://www.dafont.com/font.php?file=sf_slapstick_comic&page=1&nb_ppp_old=10&text=PEANUTS&nb_ppp=10&psize=m&classt=alpha or some of the other Comic fonts on dafont.com instead.

[Jasonmm]

a new direction , new font coming ...

[Pinball Wizard]

lol yup , who is sober at 3:30 pm ?

[Pinball Wizard]

I'm not judging your drinking habits or anything. Plus the workmanship looks really good from a drunk person to have built it, but I bet you don't have all of your fingers still.

THis is an awesome idea, and you absolutley must put Snoopy on top of the cab...that would be the icing on the technology cake

Well thank you for the kind words  , its very easy to get discouraged in this hobby. J

[drventure]

I love the idea. Great Artwork. Haruma, that anime snoopy stuff is fantastic! I guess I'm a bit old school, in that I'd prefer the original, but still, that stuff is great.

Gotta find a plaster or plastic snoopy for the top. Or possibly a stuffed animal, though that might get dirty quickly.

Also, don't forget the little bird. Maybe a peephole on the cab side or something...
