Ms. Pac-man Restoration

<< < (4/4)

GAJoe:
I love the coin meter.  That Ms. Pac-Man earned about 53,000 dollars in its lifetime.

JoyMonkey:
I'm not sure if anyone else has actually used the stencils I put together, it'll be interesting to see how it goes. Thanks for putting together the tutorial too; I'm hoping to get to restoring my own cabinet sometime this summer.

A word of warning about the stencils (I think I stressed this before, but figured it won't hurt to remind you); the first stencil layer (yellow) has registration marks in it that you will need to use to line up the other layers. Be mindful not to remove these marks after painting the yellow layer and peeling off the stencil, otherwise it'll be very difficult to line-up the pink and black layers. If you look about two minutes into the video I did of the original black test layer, you'll see how I carefully cut out the backing-paper behind the reg marks and used that as a 'window' to align it over the reg marks from the yellow layer.

WunderCade:
Nice job JM...thanks for stepping up to the task. I know it took way more man hours to do it than you had anticipated and it is greatly..GREATLY appreciated!

I'll make sure to pay close attention and leave the Yellow Layer reg marks on the cab during the process.

Honestly, though...when it comes to how to use the stencils, your vids are way better than any photo tutorial. I think that black layer vid rounds out the set, right?

You've now documented the application of all three layers. The result looked phenomenal. Hopefully you can capture your restoration process too...showing an entire cab stencilling on video is the ultimate tutorial.

Thanks again. :cheers:

Wasn't sure how many of you saw this already or not, but here is the third part of the tutorial to Stenciling your own Ms. Pac-man arcade cabinet using Wundercade's Ms. Pac-man.
