Midway Pac-Man Cocktail Build (5/30/12 Update - Finished)
Well Fed Games:
Looks great!
CWorley:
What do you all think of the cp overlays that I've attached? A friend of mine is helping me out with them, and I'm trying to get them finalized.
Any suggestions/thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Le Chuck:
I would eliminate the mounting bolts and go with a hidden mount or flushmount countersunk bolts on the CP then black out the bolt holes. I think it will will give you a really sharp appearance. The art itself is classic and retro and fits the theme so no worries there. The whole build is stellar and I can't wait to see more.
If you don't like the plain black background (I do by the way) you could PS in a pac-man board onto the back in a super dark grey, faded out a bit, so that it gives it some texture and stays with the theme but I think that you have the best answer already.

Thanks for the advice Le Chuck! Could you post some pictures or examples of projects who used the hidden mount or flushmount countersunk bolts? I'll do some searching as well.
My only concern with the artwork is the placement of the two start buttons and coin button on the p1 cp. I'm considering placing the coin button closer to the other two so that they're all the same distance apart. Then centering the group. Any thoughts?
Le Chuck:
I'm working on one right now actually ;D DARCADE
You can see a different way using wood blanks by Yaksplat here, which links to his blog and has a fairly good how to. There are a ton of ways to skin this cat if it's the way you want to go.
Sorry for the quick edit, I had to look at your art again. I don't think you need to group them, but just eyeballing it the P1 joy is more to the right than the P2 joy. I would shrink the P1 pac-man enough to get those holes lined up, this should give you a little more standoff from you P1 and P2 button graphics which could fix the spacing issues that are bothering you. Play around with it.
