(I posted this in the Artwork area too, but just in case you wanted it with your project thread)

Using the same/similar compass as uprightbass360, I was thinking of something maybe like this:

This would carry over the plane's path idea with the red lines, and if you added red buttons to this it would look SWEET. The joystick would be in the center of the compass. The country names give the red line an added effect of being the flight path, and you can change the country names to anything you wish.

Just to note, the background image was some stock image that is only 72dpi, so depending on the final size of the layout, I may need to use as alternate background image or re-create it completely.

As for the Raiders logo, I just created that from scratch using a free Raiders font found online. The "R" of that font isn't exact. Thus, if you have the actual Raiders (with gradient) in a high resolution format, let me know and I can replace it.

Let me know what you think, cheers!

I was finally able to start cutting out the cabinet pieces today. Geez! What a huge freakin' mess routering mdf makes. Just oblierated into a fine powder. It's everywhere! Anyway, I got three of the four sides cut out before the sun started to set. Still need to cut the last side and do a little clean up on them. I should have the four sides cut out and test fit tomorrow.

Must be quittin' time. :)

Got the sides slotted and test fit today. There's a host of minor problems so I'm considering re-cutting all the sides. I'd rather spend $20 on a sheet of MDF than have an area I can't fix once it's laminated. I'd be out $200 then.

Overall, I'm really digging the way it came out.

After I got it all put together and took some pics, I went inside and watched Raiders. Man, I've got Lost Ark fever! ;D
