the above picture is the base for my mala layout, i am not at home so i dont have an actual layout picture. I am trying to mimic the gears on my CP. My plan was to paint the base black color all over, then make a "gear" stencil(s), and use a sponge to paint the gears on, the texture of the sponge i was hoping would give a warn/old time look. Colors i was thinking of doing would be gold base with like a bronze top coat on the gears to add to the depth/texture. I am looking for other ideas on how i could do this or any suggestions to make it look better. I am trying to keep cost down so i figured painting would be the cheapest way to go, but i am open to suggestions if the price is the same or even cheaper. |

You can get the CP overlay printed by GameOnGraphix for about $50 shipped. They print on adhesive backed material that is nice and stiff and then cover that with Polycarbinate laminate. I have had all the art for my cab printed by them and I am very happy with the results. They have lots of satisfied customers. My experience was identical to this one: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=113940.0 Given that you have such a complex and rich image there, I would use photoshop (or whatever) to create a really stunning CP overlay and then have it printed. t3 |
