Looking for Defender side art, or detailed photos
mahuti:
Hey gang, I'm looking for Defender side art (vector Illustrator type format), or detailed photos so I can trace it in illustrator. I'd be glad to share the results if I do.
Actually, I'm looking for the side, the front, and the bezel art.
I have some decent control panel art if you would like to trade.
Pics of the current project are here. http://homepage.mac.com/mahuti/Mamecab/PhotoAlbum12.html

You do know that Defender is a stencilled game right? So it was just painted with a stencil and a spray can.
New stencils are available if you want to go that route.
paigeoliver:
Oh crud. Your Defender had side art and you painted over it?
That could have been salvaged. It really would have just been a matter of repainting what was already there.
You may still be able to salvage it if you strip off that black paint you put on it.

If stencils are available, I would like to see where. I have looked at many sites, and haven't found any stencil sets yet. Some of the sites that I found links to that were supposed to have stencil sets for Defender, didn't.
Anyway, the original art was a total loss. It was under several coats of paint, and the cabinet was pretty beat up. At the time I wasn't planning on using it. The more I restored the cab, though, the more it was making sense to return it to original Defender glory. Had I decided to do it from the start, I would have traced the art.
Again, if anyone has links to a site that carries Defender stencils, please contact me.

Don't know of any stencils, but if you have a good graphics file of it, borrow a projector to blow it up onto the side of your cabinet and trace it....
