Any interest in "EXACT" Pacman Cabinet Plans?

It's not so bad if your just using the origional cab as a router template to make a copy, but when your actually making prints...Sheesh.
Here's my "creative" method used to measure and duplicate the odd shaped side panels:
I used the 1" X 1" Grid to accurately determine the end points of the various arcs, and then used simple geometry to calculate the exact radius of the arcs.
This by far was the most difficult part of the entire cabinet.

Why didn't you just look at my plans I did for Pacman? I already determined the closest approximation of the arcs I could get like a year ago.
usedelectronics:
I did look at your plans prior to going through all this trouble...
However the measurements didn't match up to the cabinet I have here. So I decided to do it myself, seeing as I had dimensioned every other piece already.

Well,
I spent the day at my buddies woodworking shop, and the results were great!
Here's the "toy" used during the day:
And here's part of the results:
(Note the new panel is leaning back slightly, which makes it look a bit shorter)

Good news! The plans sem to be just fine. There was a small problem with the initial set, but the fixes have been done. I'll post a picture of the complete cabinet once I get back by the woodshop. ;D

Wow, looks good. Would be great to have one of those cnc routers, you could make anything!
Any chance of a release date any time soon?
These must be the most detailed plans in existance.
