Another awesome build, Joel. So how'd you do the wrinkled and torn look for the poster art?

Also trying to figure out whether the metalwork is snagged from the image of a wing or vertical stabilizer? Regardless, it's a really nice job of combining different elements and making them look cohesive. Your long experience as a creative director continues to serve you well.

Thanks man. The wrinkled paper and peeling was done in Filterforge and the metal areas were made from a few different shots of plane metalwork that I put together in PShop and did a bunch of color work on to bring them together.

Joel,

Where did you get your high res photos from to make your artwork?

From a free stock photo web site, can't remember what it was called now, I think something like RGBStock ??

You're like a damn machine that makes machines (skynet?), did you see "9", this may not end well.

Nothing but respect.

Lol thanks DGP.

Test fit of the X-Arcade coin door, its the perfect size for this project. Plexi sandwich and retainers for the marquee done.

Maximus · « **Reply #86 on:** August 16, 2013, 04:29:53 pm »

Moved the mounting board to the other side of the cab for better cable management

Everything is finished and working now including coin door lights and wiring. I just have to wait for my art to arrive then I can drill the control panel and put everything together.

So far its taken 9 build hours to get this far.

Yeah I was in at midnight last night trying to fix NAT issues with our Cisco ASA, I hate firewalls. Boss said I can stay at home on call today for burning the late oil.

Maximus · « **Reply #89 on:** August 16, 2013, 06:21:37 pm »

I wonder if anyone knows how to make these plates

Did you ask Rich at this old game? Awesome build!

A pirate walks into a bar with a peg leg, a hook for a hand, an eyepatch, a parrot on his shoulder and a steering wheel on his crotch. The bartender looked up and asked him "Excuse me sir, do you know you have a steering wheel on your crotch?" To which the pirate replied "Argh I know, it's drivin me nuts!"

Nice plate -- other than the fact that the frequency, wattage and amperage are all wrong.

60 Hz on this side of the pond.

If you go with 7.85A, that gives you 942W or plug in whatever value you want for amperage or wattage and solve for the other. (120V * 7.85A = 942W)

I hear ya. We're working non-stop to meet a release deadline for the 19th of sept. I'm usually up working until midnight or so every night. After that, I'm going to start building again.

All the art shipped from GoG, should be in hand by Thursday so hopefully we'll have a nice finished cab by the weekend.

wivelden · « **Reply #97 on:** August 27, 2013, 09:37:46 am »

Man is there anything you cant do? I looked through this forum and all I see is your amazing builds. Snagging the templates and art for this one as a project someday. One question though.. do you always use the Lepai amps? If so hows the quality of them?

Maximus · « **Reply #98 on:** August 27, 2013, 11:46:41 am »

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy the builds.

I use that AMP for my basic builds as it's cheap ($20 delivered with Amazon Prime), easy to wire up and does a decent enough job. I first used it in Little Ms. Pac-Man hand have just stuck with it as it does the job.

Sorry if the image is a bit crappy. Can't wait to get my DSLR back.

Your art-fu is strong young one.

crumptinite · « **Reply #113 on:** August 30, 2013, 12:38:51 pm »

Quick question. Did u fibd the art for the airplane panels or make it? Been trying to find the same for my cocktail version. Good job by the way

Maximus · « **Reply #114 on:** August 30, 2013, 12:59:32 pm »

I made the art by layering a bunch of shots in Photoshop then working into them with color, blending and filters etc.

Maximus · « **Reply #115 on:** August 30, 2013, 10:14:56 pm »

And its alive!

Threw this up on CL today for $1799, lets see how it goes.

yotsuya · « **Reply #119 on:** September 03, 2013, 05:45:22 pm »

So you decided not to keep it? Or is this a "make me an offer too good to pass up" kind of thing?
