I chose the name 'Revolution' as it fits well with the revolving nature of the main screen which will be a big challenge to build, I love the Marvel vs. Capcom styles and artwork and figured I couldn't go wrong with such a big bold theme. Also I plan for the cabinet to look different enough in style that it would be considered to be a little unorthadox in it's form.
I've done hardly any woodworking in the past and I have never even picked up a router so this should prove very interesting.
Before I even get started I want to thank the following forum members for their support, posts, sharing of knowledge and inspiration:
