Streetfighter cab - graphics applied, color explosion
Donkbaca:
Looks nice so far! Though it looks more Taito cab inspired then Dynamo, which is what I associate SFII with.
What type of monitor are you putting in it? Are you going to paint it or laminate it?
wol-nz:
Being in New Zealand (we are in the middle of no-where) arcade monitors are just not found here easily.
So.. I'm putting in a 24inch LED screen. (i'm not much of an enthusiast or realist to worry about arcade scanlines and CRT monitors. PLUS they are very heavy and simply won't fit in my thin cab)
The graphics have been printed on vinyl - so these will be attached once two coats of black latex paint has dried. The remaining showing sides will have a carbon fiber overlay (black - but kinda looks dark grey with some light reflection). This stuff looks pretty cool so the cab will have a full body wrap on it.
Meph:
Looks great. I was huge into Street Fighter from SFII through SSFII Turbo. I would like to do a dedicated fighter cab for SF and Mortal Kombat at some point but I might end up using an Xbox inside since the new SF/MKs have been so cool. Your slim cab looks great.
Woodshop Flunky:
Very nice! I really like the lines on this one... seems well balanced. :applaud:
I'm interested to see how the black wrap ends up.
wol-nz:
Had a day or two up my sleeve - managed to get painted two coats of matt black.
Applied the vinyl graphics to the control panel and inserted the t-moulding. Was a simple case of tap tap tapping with a rubber mallet. :lol
Starting to think those stars are really popping out - 3D awesome
