The centerpiece of this cab should be the marquee. That T molding? Not so much.

Not so much.No.Attention should be on the beautiful translite and the glorious joystick.When I still planned on finishing my Tron restore, I wanted to change to glowing buttons and spinner dial. That's about the only pimping that makes sense on a cab that is already blinged-out.
Niiice. Photo makes the t molding look redder than I expected but that could be just my screen. All it needs now is some illu... Nah. I'm not gonna go there... Is it finished? If it is change the post subject to say that so that peeps know.
Yeah, ignore temptation to add more light. Great job. Best not-really-a-Flynn-clone Flynn clone ever.

Looking awesome, really nice clean build. That marquee and love the lighting options. This was a fun project to work on for sure. You killed it
That orange lighting on the front just makes me think of a Recognizer. Good job!
Yeah remove the temptation to take any more light away from it Any less lighting, and you might as well call it PONG....
And yes i would have, dude was pizzzaid......
Just messing with the homie again.....Your right bro its cool the way it is...........
Too bad Liberace passed on, bro, you could have helped him build a cab!
So I have been reading this forum for years knowing that eventually I would finally decide to go ahead and build my own MAME machine. Well today is the day. Actually a few days ago but who's counting Obviously, I have been inspired by the great contributors here. Main inspiration includes:- ChanceKJ's Flynn's Arcade: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,146068.0.html- Project Mame: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,76150.0.html- Ond Metropolis: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,118612.0.htmlI read ChanceKJ’s thread last year with a lot of interest and really liked the idea of Flynn’s arcade. I especially focused on the arcade itself (the building) since it is the place where the gaming happens and has references to video games etc. Anyways, I was toying with my new 3D printer back then and set on to try and make a replica of the Flynn’s neon sign at the front. I thought this could make for a pretty kickass marquee for an arcade cabinet. I spend a few weeks designing and building it and was pretty happy with the results (see pics). Thus I knew I was going to make Yet Another Flynn’s Arcade!While I absolutely love ChanceKJ’s design, I really wanted to make something much smaller. I already have a pinball machine and space (read wife tokens) is limited. So I settled on a 2 player system that would be fairly minimalistic. I also wanted it to be well setup for Robotron and so sticks needed to be reasonably close to one another. After searching for a while I found the Project Mame design which is pretty much what I am looking for. I changed the marque area to be curved in order to match the neon sign and the Arcade building shape. I also really like Ond’s idea for the front part with LEDs so I added that in. I changed the base to make it more rigid and used a design similar to ChanceKJ’s Flynn. Below are some shots of the concept 3D model as it stands now.More to come...
