My Pacman profile cabinet (finished!......99%)
c64rulez:
ok, made some 3d (more or less...) models using photoshop to see if everything ties up.
two versions (one for each marquee style) and a closeup on the cp-bezel joint.
Some things are yet undecided:
- The color of the areas which are not artworked (doors, front drawer, etc.). I kinda like that blue I've used
for the models
- The marquee style. (I think the one with the black bgd looks better ?)
- Sideart
BTW,
I'm using black t-molding, and I'm going to fit some in the bezel's inner frame for a proper whole-cab-like finish.

I think I changed my mind. After seeing that the base color of the CP overlay is black with blue highlights, I think the black marquee with the blue drop shadows matches very well.
What do you think?

Congrats on the 3d view :) It should help greatly in aiding your desigions.
While the blue background looks nice in the one marquee.. it doesnt fit with the control panel because the cp is mostly black.. and also, it uses a different color blue.
Now, Its possible if you use that Teal blue thats on the cp as the background for the marquee.. that it Might match better.. however.. it might look very different once its lighted.
Finally, If you decide on this, you still have to worry about the other sides. So, do not be too firm yet, as adding the sides may make you decide to change the marquee again later.
Add the place in your art for the T-molding, as that will greatly change the look too.
Ohh, just for curriousity, try placing the video game characters on the top of the marquee. Maybe even some on top, and some on bottom.
Good Luck : )

That CP looks awesome. To be honest I wasn't really interested in this thread initially. Sitting here browsing at work and looked again, and I was like WOW !!...now I can't wait to see the finished product. Keep up the good work.
Oh, btw....black marquee background is definitely better.

I've been following this thread since it started... I only have 1 thing to say.
I hate this guy. He's too good at everything and he's ruining the curve for us mortals. He's obviously some sort of hybrid mutant.
;D Awesome work dude.
