I figure I better post something so that people don't think I am just sitting on my hands here. Vigolix is fully assembled, I have a few things left to do, but am 90% done. Unfortunately, I sold my last ZD Arcade Encoder on hand, and need to wait for my next shipment to arrive before I hook up the controls. I will wait until the product is finished before posting the final pictures.
FYI - Laptop rigs are a PITA.
I do have an update I can share pictures on. I have been working on artwork and machine title. (Vigolix is the design name, I am still having a separate name on the Marquee.)
Since this machine is going to my 1 y.o., My wife and I wanted to keep a general race car marquee, and replace it once he becomes older and has developed an interest in something that can be themed with the cabinet. I know it isn't a racing cabinet, but my son's biggest interest right now is cars in general, and it is in tune with the paint scheme. Wanting make something for my kid, I put together this Marquee:
Showed it to the wife, she HATED it.
I guess it isn't good enough for a 1 year old. I just couldn't help but laugh. She made a valid point though. My kid isn't gonna care what is on there at this point. So we might as well have something a little cooler for the parents in there for the time being. I was going to make something in illustrator, but time hasn't been on my side. So, I grabbed some more modern video game artwork and came up with this.
I am open to suggestions on this. I printed out a draft copy, and it doesn't look bad. There is always room for improvement though.
