<-- Aerospace engineer... I would just think that the wingtip vortices would create some kind of interference there with the open tip. Hmm... I'll to look into that some more.

I work with jet engines, not wings...

Hey, Knievel .. how about you take a vacation around here next year ?

I'll entertain your family for a couple of days and show them the sights and you perform your magic on my Pac cab (which is still sitting there, unfinished, with sideart still in the shipping tube inside the cab) ? Oh, and if you have time, there's that touchscreen juke project sitting in a bin in my shop. And I was looking to replace the MAME cocktail at the cottage with a Woody clone.

The kids would love Wonderland !

Nice work, as usual.

Done. I sent the family..they should be arriving any minute now.

I'll be down in a month or 2.

Is that Pink or Red T-Molding? It seems to match your pink paint and CPO/Bezel exactly so I'm inclined to think it's Pink, but it also looks reddish? Who was the vendor for the molding?

Knievel · « **Reply #44 on:** November 03, 2007, 01:35:12 pm »

Yup it's hot pink. Dream Arcades did a run of it awhile back, I believe they are the only ones that sell it.
I got if off one of their eBay auctions.

BTW I extended the t-mold slot on this cabinet to go right around the top/bottom.
So it has t-mold all the way around minus the door area at the back.

So where did u get the art from? I never saw a definate answer... I need to invest in some myself... Ms Pacman is my next project...

Thanks in advance!

That is a simple light weight, electric R/C plane. Wing tips aren't critically necessary. It could get blown around the slightest bit in a cross wind, but not too bad.

I had one once upon a time that the design was basically a simple spar construction wing mount to a piece of 2" square stock pvc. Simple design, but that plane was very fast, responsive, and durable as all getout. "Real" engineering really isn't too important.

In fact, the crap R/C planes and heli's can do would probably make alot of engineers heads explode due to all the physics laws they'd be breaking if they reacted like their big brothers.

Can an engineer actually think simple? Flame me if I'm wrong. These things break all the rules. It makes them simple and fun.

Well the smaller RC planes usually have a large thrust (or power) to weight ratio and it makes 'em behave differently. I've built RC planes... with a 12 foot wingspan, so you have to worry about wingtips, wing incidence, etc.

Amazing work (as always.) Can you please foward me art work contact info as I have a rally X cabinet I wish to convert? Much appreciated.

Ritalin · « **Reply #51 on:** February 28, 2008, 04:33:40 pm »

Wow, that cab looks PERFECT!
Great work man!

Knievel · « **Reply #52 on:** February 28, 2008, 11:31:14 pm »

Thanks! The kids are still loving it.

I've since swapped the 39-in-1 board out for a 48-in-1 and replaced the 25 cent coin door inserts with some new repro ones.
Looking at replacing the PC monitor with an actual arcade monitor in the near future too.

This is very similar to what I want to do for my next cabinet build. I have a small 10x10 room in my shop that I want to convert into a mini-Arcade/Man-Cave and I'm going to fill it with a mame cabinet and 1 or 2 classic games built from scratch. The Ms Pac Man looks like it would be a good candidate for this. Where did you get the side art and do you remember the shade of blue paint you used? This is a GREAT build, bravo.

Check out this NIB Ms Pacman

Anyone seen the white trim work on the sideart like that before?

spacies · « **Reply #55 on:** April 16, 2008, 04:57:03 pm »

Wow!

So many different things. There is white all over that artwork!
Lucky sod!

WunderCade · « **Reply #56 on:** April 16, 2008, 07:13:01 pm »

Yes, that NIB unit has the OEM sticker sideart that replaced the stenciled versions when Midway was winding down production of Ms. Pac-man.

That sticker sideart has numerous differences from the stencil painted version everyone is familiar with: The white outline around the perimeter of the stickers, the different ghosts especially with the white highlighting, more vibrant colors, and the black outlining around the stripes. etc.

Lutus · « **Reply #57 on:** April 16, 2008, 10:54:25 pm »

Ah, hadn't seen a sticker version before.

HighNoon · « **Reply #58 on:** April 17, 2008, 09:31:24 pm »

I have been in need of the Pac art for soooooo long. I could never get a reply to my emails.

Anyone have a set of the Pac art? Or help get me in the right direction?

Definately appreciated! Finishing my cab might help me forget the recent basement flooding.
