Are you talking about the Big Blue Monster Capcom cabinets with the huge "signpost" style marquees bolted on top? I have one at my parent's house with a Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo in it if you need a photo of it. It doesn't have any side art, but all of these cabinets I have seen in the field have just had "CAPCOM" stickers, 4" x 8". It may be a week or 2 before I get up there again though.
No I have plenty of photos of those. That is model #2 in the two styles of cabs that came out for the cps2. The other model had full sideart and was closer to a standard dynamo shape. You can find some sideart for reference's sake at
www.arcadeflyers.com/strider/ Strider has sideart for the orignal street fighter 2, strider (of course) and xmen cota, which is a cps2 title. As you can see they are all the same dimensions, so apparently there is this uber capcom cabinet that was used for cps1 and cps2. I thought it was a standard, generic cab, but the sideart doesn't align properly if you apply it to one. What I really need is a pic of a cab with the art applied, so i can see how it's done. It seems the the angle of the marquee is slightly odd too at least going by how the sideart aligns.
As for the mk cabs.... have good photos to get the shape of the cab, and really good control panel pics, but what I really need are some straight on, high res pics of the sideart. I can get sideart for mk1, but 2, 3 and umk3 are a bit harder to find. I checked regarding the shape of the mk cabs. There were two versions.... One was a boirng generic cab and the other was the generic midway cab like the mk2 is in. I like the second, more unique design myself.
Oh another game I could use some help on..... it would be nice to get a scan of the sideart to the x-men 6 player version. It seems that the sieart of it is slightly different than the 4 player model. I have the artwork for the middle panel though and I can fudge the control panel as it's basically just one big repeating pattern.
And as an update, thanks to the mamefans link I've been able to recreate the sideart and cpo of a neogeo mvs 4-slot cab. It should be very easy to model. I also have the graphics for robocop almost ready. So we have neogeo and dataeast covered. All that remains is capcom.
Thanks again guys. This is starting to shape up.
