I'm currently residing in Shanghai and find that 50% of forgin web sites are blocked. The link You have given me ( http://www.timoe.blogspot.com ) happens to be trapped behind the great firewall of China, and can not be viewed. Do you have any other links?
Note: If the word "blog" is in the URL, there is a good chance it's blocked.

Hey, question, did you get are the parts and build that in Shanghai? I might be moving to Asia in a couple years, and am worried that a project that is anything more than converting a candy cab would be near impossible.
Great cab, I can see a lot of effort put into it :cheers:
Don't let the internet Popo get ya :P

No It was built here in the states, but some of the componets were aquired in China. I supose you could build one, but getting the building materials would be difficult, at best.

Oh well, thanks tho. I guess its candy cab for vigo.

I'm just coming back from a week long trip to a steel mill town in the middle of shandong. I finally find place to get on-line. Retroblast.com comes up and our cab being praised. I feel like I just won something. Now I feel obligated to say more about the art, design, and build. I'll write more when I get back to Shanghai in a few days.
PS thanks NightGod I've been waiting for that one

Wow great job on the theme. I really like the gags as well. It's just so cool seeing something as creative as this, you and your brother should get a mamey or some other type of special recognition!
:notworthy:

You said Shandong.
It's funny everyone talks about the art, for it was probably the most difficult part. It took some time to find the right sub-straight to print on. Adhesive vinyl was the best way to go. You can lay it down on the MDF with little to no problems; due mostly to the fact the MDF is so porous. Printed with UV photo inks, it will last almost forever, and shouldn't fade. It's also water resistant, or splash proof. So a beer spill here or there is not an issue. Not that I advocate drinking and gaming or anything. As long as you overprint laying the vinyl down is not too terribly difficult. I say this for it was by far the largest "sticker" I have ever put down; the side panels are 1 piece each and are about 4 feet wide and just over 6 feet tall.
Most of it was made sending files back and forth from The Peoples Republic of China to The Republic of Texas. (The size of some of the files is a bit nutty, and the amount of layers in Photoshop got to the point that it was almost un-manageable) My brother made and rendered all of the "3d" elements in a number of programs, and we would shoot ideas back and forth.
What you don't see from any of the pictures is that every system select screen in MameWah is custom, made too match the overall look and feel of the Machine. The best part that we haven
