I've been working on my Ms Pacman / Mame machine off and on for the past year. I finally got my side and front artwork, and put it on over the weekend. It came as large sheets of adhesive backed vinyl. I didn't want to cover up my nice paint job, so I cut out each individual piece before putting them on the cabinet. I think it turned out pretty good. I had previously done the monitor bezel and control panel artwork my self using graphics from other sources. That's printed on adhesive backed paper. I used spray urethane to seal and protect it. Unfortunately, my printer only prints 8.5x11, so you can see some seams. I'll have to re-print that on larger sheets at some point, maybe after it begins to wear. It's been ok so far. Kids beat on it pretty regularly. Here are pics: I put Ms Pacman on the left side. The front turned out pretty good. I added some galaga art to the Ms Pacman bezel (left side). Right side is black with galaga artwork. I love the space invaders monsters, had to include them. I added elements from the Galaga CP, and Donkey Kong. This machine plays Ms Pacman, Galaga, DK, Digdug and many other vertical games. |

Those seams are the only real gripe I have. Other than that, looks awesome! |

Looks seriously sexy 8) Indeed the prints would look better without the seems. |

WOW, nice job. LCD monitor? It's weird how it looks "wrong" to me, the games on LCD monitors. I am so used to the picture having slight curvature that a perfectly flat, aligned maze looks "wrong" :laugh: |

It's actually much closer to the glass than normal. |
