Question about Ms. Pac-man/Galaga CP and Bezel area
« on: November 14, 2006, 04:02:07 pm »
Are the bezel and CP on the same plane for the Ms. Pac-man and Galaga cabs?  I'm building a mini replica (sort of) and I'm wondering if I should make a panel with the screen hole in it at the top and the controls at the bottom - like this:



If not, does someone have a close up of how the area between the bezel and CP looks?

Thanks!

The control panel sat on the glass. It had the CP Overlay wrapped around and it sat on the glass.

So they were separate?  I'm thinking about going with the one panel like I described but the glass is where I'll get hung up.  Maybe something like this will work?  I'm pretty sure I have to make the CP out of MDF because I can't bend metal...

The bezel and CP were on the same plane, but they were two seperate pieces. The CP slightly overlapped the bezel at the bottom edge to prevent it from lifting up.

Making the CP out of MDF should be easy, but I would craft some sort of metal rail along the top portion to hold down the bezel.

I think I'm going to make the bezel out of MDF instead of using a plastic one - I'm going to put a Dell LCD monitor in there and since it is flat I don't think a bezel will work.  I've got to think about how this is going to work...
