Game Gauntlet - DONE!... well mostly.
Bones:
Awesome renderings. It must really take the guess work out of trying to imagine the final appearance.

Now that I have the design nailed down, it's just a matter of creating the side art and cp art to do a full colour, photoreal 3d mock up. I was going to go with a kind of hero/fighter theme, put together in the classic white sides with sideart way. I'm finding out, however that I'm not that polished an artist. It's this terrible internal struggle; do I do the side art myself and have it look just ok but know I did it, or get art done that is top notch with my design but know that it's no 100% mine.

I couldn't deal with passing to page 2 so I'll update.
I built my prototype CP on plywood. I discovered a few things about my button layout.
-I'm going to have to order more buttons since I discovered visual pinball. I now want flipper and nudge buttons on the sides
-I want to eliminate the admin button next to the start button, but I can use it as start and select in SNES emulator, so I also want to keep them.
-I know I'm going to want mouse buttons beside the trackball.
I'll post pics of the prototype soon, though I'm sure you've seen them before.

Hey, Great looking designs... and really impressed how your laying everything out in autocad first...
I was wondering if you would be kind enough to share any of your components from autocad - such as 1 button, 1 trackball, 1 joystick etc...? I've been trying to throw together designs in 3D and although I can get the overall look, it seems to take me ages to get the size of individual components right... No matter if not.

Here's where I got them. Most of the major parts from major suppliers in 3d.
