Melamine... not a bad idea! I bet that would make a Galaxian a snap (since it's already white).

I did find that the plans on www.jakobud.com might not be as accurate as one might want. Comparing the Defender plans to my cabinet I found most dimensions fairly close, but some off by as much as an inch or more.
To answer your question, the pdf is only a Galaga inspired design. If you were to follow them to the tee, you'd still have a lot of construction decisions to make. It even says on the plans that mounting the monitor is to be "determined on the fly". A real Galaga cabinet would have been constructed with dadoes and rabbits. Using that approach, you'd have to cut certain pieces out wider to accommodate for the rabbits.
If you're interested in very detailed plans, this link might be useful if plans ever materialize:
