Give me a couple of days, i don't have any time to work on it till the weekend, and if you really want to have the cut that way, I should take the time and make them correctly.  Right now, they don't have any of the internal holes detailed, ie speaker/fan holes, etc.   I threw them together quickly, just to give people a layout idea, I hate having to make patterns and try to arrange them on a piece of plywood to figure out the best way to cut them.   I figured with the quick layout, you could make one with just a tape measure, a straight edge, and a saw, and just eyeball the curves. ;-)

I left it up, cause to me, it lost all looks of of the galaga/ms-pacman, and looked almost identical to Bishmasterb's side.  If you want them to really want the profile to remind you of galaga/defender/etc you really need the same profile as the original, and just have the side panels being a facade and not true indicators of where the control panel/marqueue/monitor reside.

Sorry, but that just doesn't make sense. The Pacman version Bishmaster made is based on the same principle. Basically you cut off the bottom part and yer done. Why would this only work for the Pacman cab? The straight front and the sloped top make it a galaga/ms pac-man. It looks similar of course, but that's ... well ... because they are. Anyway ...

When I took a galaga drawing, cut it off below the control panel, and then enlarged it to the same dimensions as Bishmasters, making sure the top came forward enough to enclose the monitor, it ended looking almost 100% like bishmasters.   I guess it just comes down that to me, if you really want it to look like a pacman/galaga/crystal castle/etc you need the whole profile, not just from the control panel up.   I frankly like the original design, it is a fairly generic look, that reminds me of arcade without pointing to any particular one.   

I think I'm going to make me a couple with williams like sides and make me a mini stargate with the correct control panel, and a sinistar.   I might even make a mini tron.

sWampy,
                Just a note to let you know I am still checking.  Got a piece of scrap wood heading over to the guy that has the water laser cnc setup.  Should find out monday or so if his machine cuts 3/4" MDF or not.  Have a good weekend.
