GSXRMovistar:
Very nice indeed, love the colour scheme of teh marquee/cp, would love to see some more renderings if you have any. Good work :)

DAmnb:
Better not show that to my GF or I will have to build a new cab and scrap the old one ;)
Very nice design, I really hope you follow this through, would really like to see this one "in the flesh".

SlapNutz:
Really cool different look! I would've used something other than that stained woodgrain look on the sides but that's just me!

Radical:
Cool design. It has a 50's "space age" look to it.

I'm just curious... How do you plan on transfering that design to wood? Those don't look like constant radius curves... Are you going to make a large template? CNC machine it?

Pixelhugger:
Thanks for all the feedback! I like that Alice in Wonderland comment... I wanted the cabinet to have a sort of cartoony "caricature" like feel to it...kind of like the arcade@home logo (which was my initial inspiration for the hugeness of the marquee).

Frosty - the cab is 6' 5.5" tall at the apex of the curve along the top edge-basically a monster. The CP is 32.5" from the ground at the front and (approximately) 35.5 at the back...(so it's at a pretty sharp angle - which I may reduce). The perspective may be a bit wonky in the pic since it's not to exact scale in the room enviornment ...I just sort of dropped it in to show my wife.

Radical - you're right - nothing standard about those curves- As far as laying them out goes, I plan on getting the outline plotted or printed on a large format roll printer (at the local architectural service bureau printing place). I may have to join a couple of sheets to do it. Depending on how well that works as a stencil, I may transfer it to a thin sheet of MDF to use as a template/cutting guide.

I'm going to post more detailed, close-up pics as soon as I can refine the art and the texture placement for the CP, control strip and info panels.
