looking fresh!

so you had the artwork already? and you already messed up some mdf?
would you share the .ai? or are questions like that a no no onhere?

are you gonna cut two plates at once? or what is the best way to go about it?

Spacies artwork doesn't look pre-cut, so he wouldn't have know from that how a real Ms-Pacman looks.


@Spacies,

The top of your side-profile collage looks oddly straight. Is that from Joymonkeys drawing?

It appears he just cut a profile out of some 1x8 or similar stock.

yeah, if that's not optical/angle etc related, it sure does look very straight.

Yep I have the artwork already.
Yep I already built a machine using Jakos plans:



Even though its a skinny you can tell the curves are all wrong.
As for the cutting, I will cut a template on a thin piece of MDF and then use that as a template for the sides. They will be cut with a flush trim bit on the router.

Correct, I am in New Zealand and we didn't get many USA machines here. I have never seen a Ms Pac or Galaga.

Good spotting. It is straight. This was the first printout I did as a test. I wasn't bothered with getting the curve right at the top. I was more interested in the front curves. It was not Joymonkeys drawing. His will be used as the final template though.

That was the offcut from template of the purple thing above.

As above. The real deal will be right. ;)
