Thanks everyone for the great comments I'm really glad you like it ;D
I can't take all the credit though, my Dad helped me build it and taught me so much on this project .. big thanks Dad ;)
@Queeg - I got the art printed at my local printers who also supplied the plexi for the screen, marquee and cover for the CPL, they done a deal with me so the whole lot came to £200 inc. I redrew all images so that they were vectors and made sure the psd's I supplied them were 300 dpi or above (another thing I learnt on these forums), it took ages but I think it was worth it as the prints have come out pixel perfect.
A close up for you ...
@PeaB0dy - What looks like black laminate is actually matt black adhesive backed vinyl (credit to my Dad for this one one of his ideas) it was really cheap off ebay, i think the whole lot came to about £15 and has given a great finish.
@Martijn - Cheers buddy ;) I went down the foam route, I used the same black vinyl as above which I stuck on the inside of the tinted plexi which has given it a piano black effect. I then cut the foam, painted it black and used it to bridge the gap between the telly and the plexi ... worked a treat!
@thatItalian - Great minds think alike hey ;) which characters did you use? here is a pick of the other side, it was taken just after I put it on whilst the cab was on it's side so it's a bit of a weird angle ...
Here are some in game shots ...
Martijn:
those are not ingame, they are title screens :angel:
Queeg:
Wow, beautiful job vectoring those. They look perfect. Can't wait 'til I've got the cash for full side art :laugh:
