Title: Capcom themed Showcase
Post by: codenamed on January 26, 2011, 12:46:58 pm
Hello all I would like to announce my intention to convert a maximum force show case I recently acquired to a Capcom themed Mame machine in the style of the Big Blue Q-sound cabinets. Its going to be a two player layout with a trackball and two Guncons loaded with Aimtraks.

Here is my progress thus far its slow going because the snow restricts me from moving the cab into the house.

Guns before painting (http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a182/deadpool2099/Showcase%20Capcom%20Mame/SDC12452.jpg)

After (http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a182/deadpool2099/Showcase%20Capcom%20Mame/SDC12463.jpg)

Finally the new control top I routed using the original Plexiglas and my template (http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a182/deadpool2099/Showcase%20Capcom%20Mame/SDC12466.jpg)

yeah, your button layout look like it will be much more comfy than having the in a strait line like i did on my first CP.  on the next one i build im gonna try arcing them like you did.  keep up the good work.  30F?   man, my bones would like rust together and you have to get a pry-bar to get me out of my chair.  sends ya some desert heat!  mid 70s tomorrow :)

Got some more done. Now I just need to drill the plexi and get an overlay and the cp is almost complete.

Its just concept Ill probably keep one pic of him and put the others as predator and ken. Deadpool is in MVC2 so he is in a Capcom game of late.
