*Vigo admits to having just re-watched the Incredibles tonight, and it has totally gotten him in an art deco mood.

Y e a h the art deco look is a great idea, I could take that style with the radiant beams and that nice 2D look and incorporate some metropolis art in there, good thinking.

Now I want to build a cab that would look correct in BioShock's Rapture (timeline issues notwithstanding). Art deco is awesome.
And furthermore, I would love to see a Ond- designed cabinet plan out there for folks like me to follow. I know other plans (Knievel, UA, etc) have been a boon to the hobby, I think yours would too.

Thanks for the interest in this, it's only early days but I already have some good ideas for a design.
The first step is to develop the cabinet shape and style, keeping in mind my design brief. Here's some content I created today.

the curve you have in there will be difficult for many home wood workers to pull off. Hell, the angle at the top of a Galaga cabinet is difficult to get right. Perhaps if you can easily explain how to achieve this curve using normal tools it might not be so intimidating.
I think the marquee area needs to be bigger and less room given to the screen, unless you had some plans for the marquee area. The people that put speakers up there may have a difficult time installing them. Of course, without me seeing the bottom half of the marquee, I'm guessing where it will be.
GregD:
I like it. Maybe a taller marquee area. The curve is easily made by bending a thin piece of wood and tracing. Not very difficult.

Too mission-controlish for my tastes... ;D
