Title: Vectorizer needed for pinball cabinet artwork!
Post by: Rook3 on January 08, 2011, 12:11:00 pm

I have some "reasonably" high res photos of some pinball artwork I'd like to use on my cabinet.
The problem is it's not high enough resolution.

Looking for someone to trace/vectorize the artwork. It would be L/R cabinet sides, L/R backbox sides
and coin door piece. The coin door piece would need to be slightly widened as my cabinet is a widebody
and the original art fits a standard cab which is appx. 2-3" more narrow.

The backbox and cab sides can be flipped/mirrored. All you'd need to do is change the text so it
reads the same.

Please contact me for more details of the art and to discuss your pricing.

Thanks!

Well, after e-mailing them again, it turns out that the company that made
reproduction cabinet artwork... is doing it again!

Big thanks to all who volunteered to help me out with this project, it's
really appreciated!

I definately will do that. Right now she's in a rough state, but work is progressing slowly.

I have nearly $1K into it so far... and will be putting about another $1K to $1500 into it
before it's finished. I still need to build the PC to run it and buy the Backglass and Dot
Matrix monitors. But it's coming along anyway. :)

Here's how it looks at the moment in the freezing garage...

The original cabinet was a gutted standard size Bally Doctor Who.
I've turned it into a widebody pin, or it will be when completed. :)

Heh, that's the way it looks right now. :)

The cabinet artwork will be one of the last things added, as I still need to
remove the original art, bondo over the screw holes, put on a base coat of paint,
etc, etc.

It's a work in progress. :)
