Nicely done in any case!

Post by: GregD on December 05, 2011, 07:24:01 pm: As always, a great cabinet. I have always liked your control panel design. I would like to base mine off of it. Is there any chance of you publishing the artwork layer with the button halos? I know you used to have a tutorial on your site about how to create those but the link is no longer there. I will bookmark this page along with all of your other project announcements. Thanks

Post by: Knievel on December 05, 2011, 07:33:46 pm: Thanks Guys!

@snake
Hmm...I'd say around 40 uprights.
It's slowed. Doing mostly Vpin cabinets now.

@chopps
I was in the same boat, really didn't care for it at first.
Now that I've been watching the games and working on the art, I have to say I like it.
Uniforms need more red. I added lots to my cabinet to make up for that..lol

@drventure
It's just a printed instruction card. I think I posted the file somewhere before.
Woody thread maybe?

@Bender
Yes it's painted. Satin latex paint with a smooth roller.

Thanks, just clicked your sig. LOVE the Canucks cocktail. I'm making a Jets one right now.
Oh oh, that Sharks upright just went on my 5 year-old's Christmas list :)

Post by: opt2not on December 05, 2011, 08:50:10 pm: Niiiiiiiice! That top-glass artwork is looking good.
I'm in the process of doing updates to my cabinet right now, (converting to Jamma) and I've been thinking about redoing the artwork on the CP's and top-glass too. I'll be really interested in seeing how yours comes out!

:cheers:

You have to have the best project to post ratio ever.
Title: Re: Knievel's 2011 Winnipeg Jets Arcade
Post by: Knievel on December 06, 2011, 01:05:33 pm: Hey it's easy to get that ratio, do what I do.

Keep repainting the same cabinet, slap on new artwork and announce it...lol

Great work as always.

Post by: chopps on December 07, 2011, 02:06:06 pm: I like what you did with the logo, putting the ice in it instead of just plain white. Really makes it look good!! :applaud:

Post by: LeedsFan on December 07, 2011, 05:55:32 pm: Lovely cabinet!

But forgive my ignorance... is this an Ice Hockey team or basketball or Handegg? And where did they go from Winnipeg?

It's an NHL team.

Winnipeg got their team back. Winnipeg's original team move to Phoenix and became the Coyotes.
This Winnipeg team used to be the Atlanta Thrashers.
Title: Re: Knievel's 2011 Winnipeg Jets Arcade
Post by: GregD on December 07, 2011, 06:21:29 pm: It is a hockey team. They Were in Winnepeg from 1972-1976. They then moved to Phoenix and became the Coyotes. They were given another team this year when the NHL moved the Atlanta Thrashers to Winnepeg. They again took the name Jets. They beat the Bruins last night which isn't good but I am glad to see hockey back in Manitoba. What a difference in the crowd there compared to Atlanta.

Title: Re: Knievel's 2011 Winnipeg Jets Arcade
Post by: leapinlew on December 08, 2011, 09:06:14 am: You still rockin Mamewah?

If it finally gives up the ghost, check out Mala. Very low learning curve, just as easy to use and no tracking down ini file settings.

Post by: Knievel on December 09, 2011, 12:32:23 am: Thanks guys!

Lew it is Mala, I just made Mamewah looking skins.

Love Mala other than the gamelist scrolling. Have never been able to get a fast scroll.

Title: Re: Knievel's 2011 Winnipeg Jets Arcade
Post by: bandit721 on December 10, 2011, 02:00:33 pm: Hi Knievel...you may already know this but if you hold player 1, button 1 down before using the stick MALA will do an "accelerated" scroll. I believe there is also a way to do an alphabetical scroll but can't recall what the control combo is...

Post by: ARTIFACT on December 10, 2011, 06:32:35 pm: Beautiful work as always!
Title: Re: Knievel's 2011 Winnipeg Jets Arcade
Post by: Bender on December 10, 2011, 08:13:56 pm: Hey Knievel
What was the substrate? MDF?
Did you use some kind of primer?
I just cant get over how awesome that paint job looks! :applaud: :applaud:
Title: Re: Knievel's 2011 Winnipeg Jets Arcade
Post by: TopJimmyCooks on December 10, 2011, 09:14:29 pm: @bandit721: even better, you can set the shift key and X for scrolling X at a time, and you can set a shift key to scroll a letter at a time in Mala options.

also, for a faster scroll without the above, just with the stick, you can set a delay before your snaps/titles/images write to the screen, which lets it go faster.

Beautiful work as always. Glad to see you're still at it. Nice touch with the skate marks in the ice artwork. Very nice!

Post by: Knievel on July 02, 2012, 04:12:16 pm: Just adding some pics of a 90's era Jets cabinet I finished up.

This one has full sideart, which allowed me to do the jersey stripes along with the logos. Really finishes it off.
Did some of the buttons with red rings/white centers to tie in with the logo too. Enjoy..

Post by: TopJimmyCooks on July 02, 2012, 10:12:22 pm: The match of the orange in the graphics and the t molding looks really good. especially at the perimeter of the CP.
Title: Re: Knievel's Winnipeg Jets Arcades - 2011 era and 90's era
Post by: Knievel on July 02, 2012, 11:49:53 pm: Thanks.
It's a bright red t-mold actually, made to match the Happ controls red. Does look kinda orange in the pics.
