Just Finished Custom Shmup Cabinet!!!
cobrakai22:
Been working on this for the past month and just finished yesterday. I was inspired by all the new Shmups that are releasing on 360 and the great ones that have already been released.
I decided I didn't want to make a generic cab so I decided I had to pick a specific game so I went with the game that got me really get into shmups back when it released on Dreamcast, "Ikaruga".
Concept was to make a simple design that would:
- Be smaller than my 2 other cabs (Vewlix custom & Astro City)
- Be able to rotate from vertical to horizontal without unmounting the monitor
- Capture the feel of the game but also stand alone if I decide to change the theme
- Stick with the "polarity" theme in Ikaruga
So I used:
- Hammered silver and black paint that has a slight shine but also a rougher
look to kinda simulate the Ikaruga ship.
- Asus 24 inch monitor
- Lizardlick repro panel with custom gameongrafix overlay
- JP 360 for Cave shmups etc.
- Jwin sound bar/subwoofer just cause it fit the size price I was looking for
Here is the finished project:
