Early design feedback

(1/2) > >>

BigCurtis:
I'm in the earliest stages of designing a virtual pinball cabinet, and am just looking for some initial feedback. With as many other pies as I have in the oven I may not get started on this for a bit, but, well, I guess design is where it all starts, and here we are. I've been waffling between a traditional build, and something similar to the highly vertical cabs, but figured if I'm going to build my own, and only have one, might as well go all out.

Some initial inspiration was this skee ball, Ond's Retro-Future cab, and yametetsu's PinUp Cade:


And here's the rough concept I've got together so far, showing conceptual differences in upper artwork per side, and a rough scale:


I'm rolling my own four directional tilt mechanism, so no nudge buttons present. Being V-pin, it's going to be a dance on the exact angle of elevation (side viewing angle characteristics of the display may play a factor). Silhouettes are just initial conceptual artwork, I feel like I might prefer some of Hildebrant's style work, but something nice and PG13 about plain silhouettes as well. Blue are the backglass & DMD (covered a bit by the ladies).

Has anyone done anything similar, any good/bad/ugly impressions?

Malenko:
if thats the side of a william's wide body cab in the middle, is your cab going to be 11 1/2 feet tall?

yotsuya:
I dunno about the mud flap pinups. Or the shape. But I commend you for thinking outside the box and planning. Let's see what happens!

Nephasth:
Throw it away. Start over.
