New Project.....MAME TREK to boldly go where everyone else has before
Swatwolf:
Ok finally have gotten back to work on this bad boy......decided to try a new marquee after seeing what others are and have done. I have just finished the wood working on the Ultimate Arcade 2 cab and will post pics soon. Here are the two ideas let me know how it looks and if the blue color on the type print looks good.
Also I decided to take leapinlew idea and make the bezel a holodeck looking grid with the yellow lines.
Still I am having problems with the illumination of the CP, dont want to give up on it but I dont want to break the back for a glowing background. I thought that the plexi panel might work out now just need to see about costs.

Im using plexi inserts and LEDs in my CP in the joystick base area. Im using round plexi rod inserted into the top of the CP but you could route out parts of the CP top and insert rectangular etc plexi shapes into the top. You can then mount the leds from the bottom and if you bottom mount the joysticks they will hold the LEDs in place.
Ive just quicked edited a drawing from my thread to give you a better idea:
Kaytrim:
I would love to see you light up that CP. You can get some nice LEDs with resistors from this seller on eBay. eBay Linky

Personally looking at your CP and your Marquee its going to be really hard to even match.
However my comment would be on that current Marquee with all the ships would to lower the text size and place them in the bottom left corner because the text is making the Marquee look cheap.
Or
Intergrate the art work onto say the enterprise so it doesn't look like a last minute slap on. I know its not a last minute thing, but it just doesn't compare to the quality of the image.
Swatwolf:
kizer point well made my wife who does not like arcade machines did not like it as much so I spent all night working with Adobe Illust, and made a LCARS marquee.....so I think that this will be my final concept I and I am going to move onto wiring soon
