It makes it much less noticable that the blue and purple joysticks are lighter in color than the buttons. i may use that idea when i redo my panel in the spring
very nice.

What's weird, is in the photo, I don't know if it was the lighting or the flash, but the purple buttons don't look that blue in person, they're more the darker color of the ring around them. But I know what you mean, I like happ buttons, but I like sanwa sticks :p I know I'm weird, but it was tough because their colors don't exactly match, but I think with the CP art, it makes it not as glaring to the eye :)

i know what you mean, i had the same problem when taking pics of mine. i am using the same setup as you, sanwa sticks with happ buttons...and pretty much the same colors in the same order, except i used orange instead of yellow, so they would match up with the ninja turtles
it looks very nice, i really need to do something like that because mine are against a plain background so the color difference is more noticable
Creeper:
That CP looks great, don't let the nay sayers get to you. Nice theme, great art work. :applaud:

Funny you mention that, because I actually set up the colors the same order as the TMNT Arcade. When looking at pictures though, I noticed on the TMNT cab, Michelangelo was yellow instead of orange, that's why I went with yellow. But maybe I looked at it wrong. But it's a subtle touch that I added due to loving that game as a kid.

It might be the angle, but those sticks look like they should have been top mounted (or at least routed from below).
Do your 4-way and spinner migrate south for the summer?
Might have been nice to flush mount the trackball and have it light up yellow to keep with theme.
Sorry if I sound a bit negative, it's a nice first CP on the whole.

wweumina You sir are a d bag
Anyway to the OP thats a great looking panel & having a dedicated 4 way is awesome as is having room to use the trackball on GoldenTee, ShuffleShot, World Class bowling & etc.
Looks nice!

Thought I'd post some more pictures of my cab that I'm reworking. Almost finished making my adjustments.
Mainly spent the whole day adding extra support for the base due to the wheels I've added. Also moved a lot of the interior pieces around, made an attempt at keeping the wires organized, and added a sub-woofer :D
