DK, DK jr. & Mario B. Bartops FINISHED AND NEW PICS POSTED, Enjoy :)
Jigenjuke:
Well, we worked pretty hard this weekend but I still wasn't satisfied with the progress. I put together a new PC for a friend and Illustrator/Photoshop Japanese versions were not giving me any love. The pic I am posting today are Mario/Red Donkey Kong and yes, DK Jr. is finally getting all the love he deserves. Here we go. We are still waiting to put the sideart on.

It is kind of strange saying that as the art has nothing to with tempest. Daijiro wanted to keep with the 80's theme but had never seen an 80's arcade in the states, so after a lot of history lessons and several hundred pictures later he came up with several ideas and we chose the one closest to an 80's feeling. Hope you like them. I will post the sideart later, we are sending the sideart off to a printer in order to make vinyl stencils. This cabinet will look very sharp when we are finished.

I'm looking forward to the sideart, as what you've posted for the front is brilliant. I'm trying to imagine the game that would have gone with the theme ;)
Jigenjuke:
Heh heh, thanks Captainpotato, I will post the sideart as soon as I can. With Halloween coming up I have been pretty busy. We have cultural lessons at the Jr. High I teach at here in Japan. I have been Captain Jack Sparrow for the last ten days. I am looking forward to retiring Jack so that I can go back to my regular teaching clothes. Check back around Saturday for the sideart pics. I am thinking that unfortunately most people have done the bartop replicas to death. I was hoping for a little more feedback. Oh well, pushing forth. ;D

These are great! Great work. I'd love to have one of these.

Dang! Awesome! I want to make a DK, DKJR, and MB bartop all in one someday.
This is probably a dumb question, but is that 1/2" mdf? Maybe you go by milimeters. 10,13 or 15mm? I think T-molding is only available for 3/4"? So I'm guessing that's what you are using. It just looks thinner than normal. Thanks for posting, they look great!
