I messed around with an Indy theme for my cab but ultimately scrapped it.  While I didn't get to the CPO design, I did do some work on a mamewah frontend theme that might give you some ideas for this project.  I like where you're headed, can't wait to see it all done up.

Ah, very nice!  I'm not sure whether I'll be using Mamewah or Mala this time around (I've been a Mamewah guy up to this point).  The good news is that I'll only need to put together one background as this cab will only be playing MAME.

Thanks for posting that.  Your cabinet is great looking.  I guess we can only imagine what the Indy inspired version would have looked like...  :)

Thanks, uprightbass360!

As somunny mentioned, there's some great wallpaper art that can be downloaded at http://www.indianajones.com so I kept the same layout just for fun but inserted some true indy art.

How's something like this, somunny?

I isolated the true Raiders logo from the wallpapers.

if you don't like the buttons with the red lines, or anything else etc., just let me know how you'd like me to edit it up.

Cheers.

Holy Moly! That looks really awesome! I think go with the idea of having player 1, 2 etc in the indie fonts and make the red lines thinner. But the whole look is pretty damn good!

This is the art that you need hanging above it.

Color scheme looks like it will match great with the gold.

I think I know what you are doing dustwasher-wise (;)) but if not have you thought about having some washers made to look like the staff headpiece that they use to find the Well of Souls?

That's a great idea Franco.  I think the other option you were referring to will create a very slick look in the meantime, though  :) 

I would think the way to go would be to mold something out of Sculpy, cast it in resin and paint it.  Alas, I am no sculptor (that's putting it mildly).

That's a great looking print.  I had initially contacted a fairly well-known Indy fan/artist (whose work is also for sale on the site) to do the artwork on the project and found that his rates were pretty reasonable.
