Turning a X-men cab -> custom 1942 style cab
DaOld Man:
Looks like you are doing a good job there vebbomania.
I too like those bolt heads.. I was wondering if they will turn back to the galvanized look after some time? Or do you plan to coat them with some clear coat or anything?

Thanks DaOld Man, its a bumpy ride but i enjoy it :cheers:
I really don't know, it says "forzinket" on the bolt package, don't really know if that word exist in English :P and i don't know how they will react over time, if they get darker or change in any way i can always give them a spin with the powerdrill again and try to coat them with clear coat.
I also manipulated the the overlay to fit the preassembled CP
I must admit that it look pretty OK already but I'm gonna tweak the graphics a little more, just to bad the weekend's soon over and now I'm gonna be busy with work for nearly 2 weeks :hissy:
I'm not sure if the buttoncolor is optimal either so I'm gonna try different setups.
Edit, added original image "as is"

Just a tiny update. Got 3 wico 4" balltops (2 light blue and one purple?) from ebay today and im gonna use this guide to dye them http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=53733.0
Well i'm not gonna dye before i've compared the balltops vs original
oh, and i also ordered this for my trackball today

I just have to say that i think your control panel setup is looking very clean already. where the graphic and the trackball are placed look very good together and im sure the led track ball will only add to the sweetness. nice job :applaud:

Thanks tib0lt :cheers:
I have tweaked the gfx a little more and i think this new version looks better, it has a more "softer" look. I also removed the "1943" vektor graphics under player 2 and replaced it with a new one :angel: The yellow line just mark the cut.
If u right click the image and choose show image u will get a larger and more detailed look.
The hangar ship under player 1 is from a picture of USS Nimitz and the mainplane under player 2 is a lockheed p-38 lightning
