Title: WWF Wrestlemania CPO
Post by: KombatMame on May 30, 2012, 09:41:57 am: hi,

I actually thought my (dedicated) WWF Wrestlemania CPO is in good shape and undamaged... (see attachment)
As i tried to clean dust and grime beneath the lexan, i immediately wiped off whole portions of the artwork :banghead:
(used only window cleaner, soft cloth, nothing aggressive, water only same result)

Seems it just desintegrated over the years..

So far as i know there are no repro-CPO's available, any tips?
Any scans available? Nothing found so far..

as always, thanks guys

This is my mail: midasororey@yahoo.es

Alright, I'll scan the leftovers!
I also have a sticker set that came with the WWF Kit package for conversion cabs (got that from e*bay).

Maybe we could use elements of it in the CPO design.

I'll post the scans tomorrow!

Would be great to preserve this beauty in its original design :applaud:

Mike

Post by: KombatMame on June 01, 2012, 07:21:06 am: Alright, i made a CPO scan of the leftovers, measured the CPO and button holes, stiched it together and made a photoshop .psd-template (400mb).. (first pic is a resized jpg export of it)
Also scanned the marquee and used the WWF logo for the CPO (psd layer)

Second pic is a reference to the original CPO artwork

@Mikonos: sent you a mail!

stay tuned guys!

Post by: KombatMame on July 20, 2012, 09:02:24 am: hi guys,

i'm currently working on a repro of my CPO, looks good so far! WIP version in the attachment..

i used scans of the kit stickers i got from ebay (p1/p2 start, wwf logo), scanned a NOS marquee for the "wrestlemania"-logo, used parts from CPO scans of a fellow member here (thanks MK3FAN) for the joystick-surrounding and entirely drawed a new button surrounding with a (nearly dead on) rust-texture underneath..

TODO:
- get a scan of the big CPO-sticker (the one without moves or text) -> this would be the background of the CPO
- refine the texture beneath move instructions
- redraw/rewrite the instructions + midway part# on the CPO with the correct font
- testprint for alignment of the holes

:cheers:

Post by: MK3FAN on August 10, 2012, 02:44:06 pm: Well, after $295 worth of Photoshop labor (don't care, I had the cash and it was worth it), here is the finished product. Here is before...

I have two copies being printed as we speak and when I get one installed over the original CPO, I'll post how it looks.

Post by: KombatMame on August 10, 2012, 05:36:31 pm: AWESOME!!!! :notworthy:

Great work MK3FAN and whoever worked on this in the shop

A small detail is missing:
the midway part# in the lower right corner (or is this because of legal stuff?)
I added this in the tiff and sent you a link, if you want it in..

Title: Re: WWF Wrestlemania CPO
Post by: MK3FAN on December 07, 2012, 04:26:37 pm: No. I can do that, but it would take a while.

Post by: timothiefielder on December 13, 2012, 03:02:02 pm: I would be inerested in the sideart too if it is the full length undertaker one.
