cuppm:
I would love a copy, if nothing else than for my personal knowledge and learning. I'm still trying to figure out the whole front end software thing - what existing packages do and what/how they interface with the controls and displays.

Laythe:
PM sent, cuppm. I don't know that you'll find it terribly useful, but it may be interesting to poke at, and there may possibly be some assets in there you can use.

Malenko:
can't believe I never commented in this thread before, I was positive I did. This is one of my favorite cabs (markc74's OG is up there too) and I cant wait to see shapeshifter done too!

Laythe:
Aw, thanks, Malenko!

Shapeshifter has been sitting at "effectively done, save for a few small details that could still be chased" for quite some time - but if you want to see it done, then I guess I had better properly finish it and post some glamour shots. That sounds fun again, come to think of it.

So hey, thanks for the motivation. 8)

Despite having been one of the direct inspirations for my build, I don't think I've ever posted here either... so here goes:

1. Mimic is truly an awesome build - well done! Everything about this cabinet is quality, from the control layout and control panel detailing to the custom frontend / menu and dynamic bezels and marquees. This build / this thread is one of the main contributing factors toward my decision to try building my own cabinet, and all the build pictures and diagrams really helped me when trying to figure out what I was doing, so again, thank you Laythe!

2. ShapeShifter is simply incredible, and updates are very welcome.

3. The level of precise detail and engineering in your builds still makes me feel like (to borrow a minecraft reference) I'm just over here getting started punching trees and banging rocks together. I'm still in awe of the amount of engineering that's gone in to ShapeShifter - custom angle on the screen, with a precise offset to move from pinball orientation to 'cockpit' - and THEN having the whole thing automated... Truly amazing work. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
