Raiden Cab Project - New Pics with coin door. 98% finished (for now)
BurgerKingDiamond:
So I just installed the control panel overlay and plexi glass last weekend. I did the design in photoshop and illustrator(for the logo). It is just a mix of 3 pics I got from a series of google image searches. A couple notes...
1) This cabinet is not meant to be a reproduction of an actual Raiden cab. I have no idea what an original Raiden cab looks like. I just like the game and when I found the marquee for sale I decided to use it and come up with the rest as I went along.
2) I know someone is bound to comment on the screws. I know the buttons would have been enough to hold down the plexi, but I didn't like that the plexi was able to be lifted up so much on the perimeter. It made me nervous so I decide to put in some screws. They are pretty small and I'm gonna paint them black when I get around to doing some other paint touch up. So I think it will still end up looking pretty clean :).
3) Please try to ignore the ugly bezel for now. My next move is to redo the monitor rotation scheme and get the monitor centered better and then improve on the bezel.
ammitz:
Why not paint the srews blue instead of black?
Btw I can understand why you would use screws, with that size of a CP and only a few centered buttons to hold it.
emphatic:
I would keep them metal and also add some shiny, nice washers. Perhaps you can find some really cool bolts or something.
SpaceHedgehog:
There are hex key bolts that you can buy that come with different finishes and have a nice rounded top. I'll see if I can find a link to them . Effectively they're the ones used on the MadCatz TE fightstick:
BurgerKingDiamond:
thanks SpaceHedgeHog. Find that link if you can. I like the look of those bolts.
