Knievel came through like a champ... (Control Panel)
« on: February 08, 2006, 12:36:45 pm »
I gotta give the man credit for doing some amazing wood and plexi work on my control panel. I wasn't real big on having my control panel outsourced, but there is no way I could have done it as nice as he did.

Thanks Brad!

His site says he isn't doing custom work right now, but when he starts up again I HIGHLY recommend him.

Hey i have the same cabinet, not as extravagant as yours tho.

I looked at your boomcade post and my sound system is stock while yours is more fitting for a arena :)

Do you have the q-sound sticker that is placed between the speakers on these cabinets? Im looking to get a scan of it so i can reproduce one for my cabinet, mine didnt come with one.

I do plan on getting some 360's just like you though, i cant wait to see your cab when its done.

Didn't know he was doing custom work, but based on Neon Mame and Flyercade, I would expect any of his work to be spectacular.

My cab was actually missing it also. To be honest I have never seen one on a CPS2 cab in person.

If he wasn't living in Canada, I'd ask him to "do" a CP for me too....but think shipping costs will be the killer for this....Knievl is a master ! I copied his idea of lighting leaf button holders and it is great !

Are you talking about a simple sillhouette version? Of the fancier colorful one.

Very handy site if you meant the former:

Great for cutting stuff in vinyl.

Shipping was only $30 for my monster control panel (38"x16") from Canada to Florida.

Thanks for the plug Lukas. Your CP turned out great, nice neat job on the wiring. So is that a reprint of an old original overlay or something you came up with? I see fighter characters but I'm not real familiar with all those fighting games.

I will be getting back into making my CP tops soon, I will post it up on my site when I do. I can do custom work but I don't get much call for it. Most of my buyers are new to the hobby and want a duplicate of my own CP layout.

It is a reprint of the original Super Street Fighter 2 overlay. I'm a huge Street Fighter fan, so I figured I may as well use the orignal artwork.

Ah, I see. You'll have to forgive this old school gamer for not knowing.
Any more than 3 buttons and I got scared off :)

That is a really really cool looking CP.  It's too bad they don't make a trackball with the "globe" on it.  That would be the icing on the cake.  Nice work fellas.
