Yes, finally it's done

Next part is the bezel

Instruction card is a png, just want to test if it's good for printing

If you need a cleaned-up version of the Instruction card, I posted one in this restoration thread for anyone to use. It's a PDF:

A little update here:

Scale the whole thing down to Height 75cm .. but it has to be a little bit bigger ...
The crt is to big for it, so it's gonna be a big bartop

Tomorrow I make a bigger one, it's almost a full cab

What do you guys think of the concept, I like the shape this way, but do I need to cut the bottom part a bit? Last 2 pictures are cut at the bottom..

Hello there, i was wondering if you have larger pictures of these blueprints by any chance? I downloaded the pictures to my phone but when i zoomed in to see the numbers they were still blurry. Thank you very much!

Small update

Bezel is a lot of work, but still on track !!!

Today finally installed the KADE :gamer: What a great piece of hardware

Easy to install and setup.... At last I can play digital AND ANALOG games :gamer:

I made a switch to toggle between analog and digital controller.

Visionary 3 plus update are running GREAT !!!!
Finally I can spend some time with testing games and setting the buttons.

I'm thinking about keeping the button layout just how it is right now, or edit some extra buttons to it.
2 extra small buttons for the Black & White buttons just like the xbox controller.
And 1 extra big blue button as the Y button at the bottom, because I have A, B, and X buttons on the control panel right now and wanna keep this setting just like it is on the original Popeye cab.

Play most of the time arcade games, so 2 or 3 buttons are enough, but for some games the 4th button is needed

What do you guys think about this one?

I think I'm getting crazy here

This F*************G Witch and bird cost me 8 hours to finished

Next time there is no more artwork on it, just one color

mike boss · « **Reply #126 on:** August 08, 2013, 07:49:12 pm »

This project is phenomenal ! 8 hours is a ton of time, but this is truly an amazing project.

Can I help? I do well if I have something to trace. Can you send me a copy of the bezel image?

Superfrog · « **Reply #129 on:** August 10, 2013, 03:45:26 pm »

Thanks, but it's almost finished

Hope that I can finish the artwork this week so it can be printed

mike boss · « **Reply #130 on:** August 11, 2013, 12:31:47 pm »

Will you be making the complete vector artwork set available once completed ?
Again this project is AMAZING ! Fantastic work.

Nice work Superfrog. Good thing I didn't start creating a version like I planned.

Superfrog · « **Reply #132 on:** August 21, 2013, 01:56:58 pm »

At last

It's done.....
It was a big task to complete, but the outcome is very satisfying

I post some quick pictures, but when I'm ready for it, I made some nice photo's .

Thanks for hanging in

I love this ! I LOVE THIS !
Popeye is one of 4 Nintendo cabinets I have in my house and this is a rock solid machine !
Your work is top shelf !

Are you making a zip available with the vector artwork by chance ?

opt2not · « **Reply #135 on:** August 22, 2013, 02:37:38 pm »

Very nice end result, it turned out really great! Let's see a few pictures of it running and all lit up!

Make sure you rub out those air bubbles under the sticker decals though. If you can't get them out, I'd recommend poking a really tiny hole to let the air release.

Now that's it's all done, what would you do differently if you had to do it again?
What specific things were you proud of?

Thanks,

When I got the time, I made some nice pictures and movie.
I was to quick with installing the plexi, the stickers was still a little bit wet

So tonight I try to rub out the bubbles

Most proud of the artwork and that the concept in my head is just right in front of me in real life after 4 months of hard work.
I only had to chance the game pad for a Kade ( what is the best move to play all games, analog and digital ) and a extra button under the cp and switch for analog or digital.

What I would do differently next time, is using a crt monitor instead of a tv ..

awesome work man, nicely done....

Maximus · « **Reply #138 on:** August 22, 2013, 03:06:01 pm »

Did you already post all of the cut files and templates for this build somewhere?
I'd like to build a Fix It Felix Jr version of this for my little girl.

Unstupid · « **Reply #139 on:** August 22, 2013, 03:06:25 pm »

Awesome job!

Can I nominate this cab for the 2013 UCA in the bartop category already?

I only have a outline for this one. No measurements, because it's build around the crt and was cut on the fly

The moment someone releases a Nintendo bar-top for sale they are getting so many orders, if nothing else for fix-it felix (myself included). Already suggested this to a few builders on here.

Here's hoping...

Good searching

You never now

Just to look how it is appreciated by the market

I don't give it away... I'm very happy with it.

Thanks for asking, R2 is receiving a bit of a remodel on the CP, did it up complete in one color scheme and decided it didn't have enough pop/zing/wowee-ness so it's being redone more better

I'm hard at work, just not hard at work posting stuff right now. FE is pretty much wrapped, might have one or two edits but we're pretty much there. I'll get caught up

Minwah · « **Reply #157 on:** September 10, 2013, 09:38:58 am »

Great to see this finished - looks awesome!

mike boss · « **Reply #158 on:** September 23, 2013, 07:48:54 pm »

What did you print the artwork on ?
Are they vinyl decals stuck onto plexi ?

nordemoniac · « **Reply #159 on:** September 24, 2013, 07:33:11 am »

Amazingly detailed!

How did you paint it? It looks so smooth! And how did you get that rough look on the black backside?
