Arcade Renovations sideart (Centipede)
OSCAR:
Very impressive, Carsten!! Nice installation on the side art! I really like white sided cabinets, they look so clean and don't seem quite so overbearing in a room I think.

If it is white, I think there is no point on me painting my cab sides. Just priming will do. Or perhaps I should cut the work out like you did (I thought this is how it came)
Comments? Options? Advice?

The art is printed on white vynil, so no need to paint your cab. Check this link out. It tells you how to install sticker-type side art (not even priming is necessary):

Carsten, great job. Your cabinet looks incredible. I'm glad you took a leap of faith and bought the art. Congrats!

That picture makes me kind of wish I would have kept that Atari cabinet I got rid of last weekend. It was an Arabian (I think), but the sideart was gone. Same cabinet as Centipede and Kangaroo. I do have a Kangaroo with perfect sideart, but Kangaroo isn't nearly as good of a game as Centipede (even if the art is better).

Whee, so many compliments, thank you all, folks! Makes me blush all over! :D :D :D

Yep, that's the only part I'm currently missing - the frontdoor just waits for it hinches, after that I can keep our cats out off the cabinet! ;) The bezelgraphic is still in its very basic version, so far I've the green lines and the Atari-logo, but not the mushroom, and worse, the three insects at the top. Still have to find a highres-image for this!
Unfortunately I can't add the blue plastic bezel between monitor and glass, just wouldn't work in my rotating design. By the way, the steelwings carrying the monitor are not that much visible in reality as this is grey smoked glass - it just turned out like that on the photo. (I really wonder how Oscar makes these glass and monitor photos without any reflections!)
For now, I like the steelwings, looks very cool when rotation starts! :)

Those things are SWEEEEEEET! LOL !!!
Cab looks great ... I am still working on your translucent buttons ... I have not forgotten about you.

Guess its working time again! :D Wanted to redesign it anyway - just have to try out some conceptional ideas.

Very nice pictures on your link! I have a closeup-picture here - sorry, turned out big in filesize, but wanted to keep the compression-artefacts low.
Like Brax, the cutout-lines give me a more authentic feel, too - but of course this is personal preference I guess!
Larry, have you placed your order now? ;)
