Very nice indeed!!!   :D

I love the woodworking skills on building this. I also built a half size DK (link in sig below) but mine was a bartop. My woodworking skills are amateurish though.

Love the coin door representation. Really nice detailed touch. Like the Nintendo plate on the back. I might have to get one of those.  ;)

Great job!  I love small builds, there have been so many great ones this year.  You really nailed it!

Very clean build and no MDF in sight.  :cheers:

Are those Sanwa SDM-20 buttons?  ;D

I might have to do a small-scale Donkey Kong too at this rate, it seems to be the "Hello World" of arcadecontrols members.  ;)

Man, I really love minis.  It would be cool to have an entire mini arcade.

Great work.  Love the detail and the expert craftsmanship.  I also love how many laminations are in your plywood.  Makes our furniture grade plywood look like s*(t.

So how did you resize the art?  When I restored my DK I just bought all the full size stuff that was commercially available.

Also, any more details on the coin door - you did a great job making it look like the original and still function.   :cheers:

Excellent work! Where did you get the coin plates/mechs from?

Real impressed, def got to have a go at one of these myself - though concerned about how I can even come close to the quality / finish of your build

Looking forward to seeing results from your next project!
