Vindic8r's MOTUMAME
harveybirdman:
it was a wolf's head, but whatever....
Another vote for adding Man E Faces, Beastman, Whiplash, Stratoss, and Trapjaw....
vindic8r:
Thanks for the encouraging words, all!
Here's the control panel design I've pretty much landed on, after much debate.
I was originally going to have North Coast cut it for me, hence the shape, but now I think I have a local contact that can help me do it instead, and so I'm not bound to the North Coast CP shape. Should I change it? This thing is a beast at 48" wide (the cabinet is only 26.5" wide), and will probably look a bit overly large once mounted.
Would a 90 degree rotation on P3-P4, Simpsons-style, be a better choice? I wonder if ButterGuns had it right with his Blue Gene CP?
Why is this such an agonizing decision??! CURSE YOU, CONTROL PANEL, AND ALL YOUR INFINITE POSSIBILITIES!

Get some cheap material ($7 project board) and do some mockups to see how they feel.
I wouldn't put the power button on the CP. If there is a button, guests and kids will press it no matter what it is labelled or what they are told.
I'd put it on the top or the back of the cab.
You might need some more space between the joysticks and start/coin buttons.
I don't think it qualifies as a frankenpanel. You'd have to add a 4-way joystick and a trigger stick if you want that title.
yotsuya:
I don't think it's a frankenpanel either, but it does look like a ton of buttons centered around the joystick. I realize those are probably credit and start, but I've never been a fan of having them so close to the joystick (personally, I'm not a fan of admin buttons anyway, but that's a different story :laugh:). Also, why three buttons next to the spinner?
Other than that, I think it looks good.
