Lowboy: First design, then 1/3 build and finally fullsize!
Yvan256:
If you do build the 1/3 scale model to test things out, may I suggest doing a one-player control panel instead of a two-players one.
I'm sure you'll be tempted to continue to work on it and make it a fully working cabinet once you get going, and two players on a 1/3 cab is going to be impossible IMHO. How large is the 1/3 control panel going to be?

@gamester :
If you mean the modelling in Sketchup. I started on aug. 15 and I've been busy in the evenings and weekends. Not every day, but a lot. When my girl friend starts saying "What? is that "thing" still not ready?! I think that says enough.
If you mean how long the renderings took, that's like a couple of minutes per picture. It depends on the scene, material and shadows or not.
Yvan256:
That's a good suggestion. Didn't think about it. I don't even know if there are small enough sticks and buttons. But a 1/3 sized cp would be approx. 7.2" (18.3 cm). And, yes, it will be tempting to make it fully operational.
Yvan256:
At 7.2" wide I think there is enough space for a joystick and a Street Fighter buttons layout (3x2) if you use 24mm buttons.
MaMeNnO:
Ok, a bit more.
The button I got from the Sketchup 3D warehouse. It was complete with switch!
The buttons placed in the cp, top
and bottom
This is the coin mech that's currently on my Arcade Action cabinet

Jeez
I spend hours with sketch up and I end up with pretty shaded boxes :-\
Very nice modeling work!
