worst case, you could get mame marquees/game on graphix to do the artwork.

Yes they are in my favourites. For the control panel I've ordered some 0.5mm Lexan, I plan to print my own CP and sandwich it under the lexan. I'll probably turn to gameongfx for the side art and marquee.
Now the thing is working I'm too busy playing it to finish it...must get artwork!
Corbo:
I've made my own control panel overlay. I printed the art using a laser colour printer and cut a layer of 0.5mm Lexan to protect it. I'm happy with it, but if it looks poor compared to the rest of the artwork when it arrives, I'll build a new CP out of 6mm MDF and put a nice thick perspex CP on instead.
Malenko:
since you didnt reply to my PM, I'll take it as a no :)
Can you put some plans up? preferably traced/actual size
Corbo:
Malenko sorry if you think I'm being rude but I swear I replied, I don't know why you didn't get it. Drop me an email on neil (a t ) cbett d.ot c0m and I'll be happy to discuss.
As for plans, I used the originals from Jakobudd and scaled them down to 1/3 size.

I then made some adjustments to get the viewing angle right for the display and to make the control panel comfortable. I haven't produced any plans of the final design, but I have a friend who works in CAD design so I may rope him into knocking some plans up at some point.
I'm not really looking to make any profit on this it's for my own use, and it took a while to build, I'm not in a position to build any more to sell right now sorry. I am more than happy to offer any advice, share my artwork or help you in any way that I can. I hope you build one of your own, I love it!
Woodshop Flunky:
This is looking really nice. I wasn't able to visualize it before, but now I can see this is a really nice mini cab! :applaud:
And... I just LOVE the mini man cave! The small curved staircase is awesome. I would kill for a space like this to put my son's arcade. Every time I went down there I'd feel like I was descending into Flynn's workshop. :)
