Title: Star Wars Upright Plans
Post by: shrunkenmaster on July 14, 2010, 01:43:43 pm
Has anyone at least got a good profile shot of the Star Wars Upright cab? I've searched high and low with no joy.  :banghead:

I was thinking of building one from scratch at one point when I found this build log -

You might try contacting him to see if he has plans.  I thought this was a pretty impressive undertaking.

Do you want to build it exactly the same or just similar? It's very similar to Millipede and Crystal Castles. Maybe plans for those exist.

I recently got two Star Wars upright cabs.  One is mostly gutted and the other has been Mamed.  What photos / measuresments would you like and I'll try to get them uploaded.

@RayB: It'll be a cabaret version, so just similar to the original. I've had a look for Millipede/Crystal Castles cabs already but drawn a blank also.

@JODY: Just a profile shot so I can trace the outline of the cab side really. A couple of clean CP shots would be great too!

@wp34: thanks for the link bud, I've been following the dude's Return Of The Jedi vector game progress, which I think is the single most fecking amazing homebrew thang ever! I hope he finishes it...

A few pics.  Note the bottom corners need repair as they are missing (note the t-molding hanging on the right hand side).  For the control panel, I think that is a Stun Runner controller instead of a Star Wars.  I have a Star Wars controller but it may be a few years before I can swap it out.  The other gutted cab may have better bottom corners.  If you would like, I can get a pic of it.  Would need to move a few things in the garage.
