Im going to build a replica moonwalker cab, but all I can seem to find after lots of searching is the marquee. Does anyone know of any sites with the Bezel, CPO, or sideart? I have googled it many times and cant find anything, any sites any of you know of?
-
You know you built it right when it can scare little neighbor boyhs.
I don't know where to get artwork for it, though.
-
just put this on the sides:
-
Ok, here is a pic of the original moonwalker sideart...
-
While talking to Snaake, my art guy, we figured we could "remake" the sideart..by finding a large pic of the movie poster or movie cover, re shaping, making a red back ground, and using the letters from the marquee, just making them white.. I found a great large high res pic on ebay of all places, so were good...I will post it for you ( shrunken of course ) ...
-
Here is a pic of the original cabinet, I will have to design somethin for the CPO for the little I can see... Im probably just going to make a mini cab, so I can use a normal pc monitor, It will be cool tho, and only play moonwalker, with a coin door wired up, So Ill basically have a dedicated moonwalker.. I would make a large one but dont wanna play for a big monitor (as the mame machine im almost done with cost about 2 grand...with a 27 inch monitor..)
-
Why not give it some original art, something like the "Molestation Moonwalker Mame Machine Madness" ?
:o

This is supposed to be a serious thread.... The game was made back when michael jackson was still big, before the molestation days, which he was found innocent by the way. I cant even talk about this without the stupid posts about michael jackson.
-
It was a common enough game, but never ultra popular. Finding sideart is going to be difficult.

Sorry - but he was weird ever since the surgery. And OJ's innocent too! That's the last of my posts here. Good luck finding the sideart.
:P

Here is a bezel I whipped up in microsoft paint... Used game play images for KLOV, and 2 different "Michael Jackson's Moonwalker" logos, think this would look somewhat original?(this is just a crap version I made to give me art guy an idea... just seein what you guys think of the basis) What you think of the idea?
-
he was found innocent by the way.
No, he was found "not guilty".
I noticed the game has little girls in it. Weird.
-
I found a 19 inch monitor at the community thrift store today.. for 25 buck...and after testing it when I got home...it worked! Looks like Moonwalker is gonna happen!
-
Ive decided this cab will be made out of particle board, since the original was..While looking at the picture of the cabinet posted above, does this look like an original cabinet design, or is there an older cabinet shaped similar to this, if anyone knows I would greatly appreciate it so I can find the dimensions, anyone know the cabinet shape its based on and where I can find the dimensions? Thanks alot, Doug.
-
This shape....any ideas?
-
No, he was found "not guilty".
Of course, if you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, and are found not-guilty, then you have been found innocent.
-
I really dig your project! I remember when he was acquitted, I upped this to the Library.

Still needs work, but hey....here's a quick mock up for your sideart...Seems close enough...I think you should stick to the plain red bezel like the original though.
-
Oops totally screwed up the lower portion of the rainbow...I forgot to airbrush out the rest of Joe Pesci's spaceship...Oh well...Looks to be an easy fix...Ask me if you need help.
-
If anyone knew how to translate the insruction card to what it originally said in english, I would definately use it, with the plain red bezel, then I would have the real thing. Also, I got rid of everything in microsoft paint on my moonwalker picture, so I could probably use that on the sideart instead ( posted above). Do you have any pictures of the control panel? so I could make something resembling the original? Anyways, thanks for actually caring about the project, any more details..the control panel, translation of instruction art, size of cabinet, anything is appreciated, thanks.
-
If you can find somebody with the Alien Storm 3-player dedicated cabinet, you could use those dimensions...They look to be the same as Moonwalker.
-
Well I have no idea what a dedicated Moonwalker CPO looks like, but I would just go by the picture below with a red background.
-
I'm still a learner with Japanese but I'll give it my best shot, maybe someone else can fill in the rest if not at least it'll give you some idea :D

yup rohan, thats the control panel with, but black not red. I have been looking for that picture everywhere, do you have an original moonwalker or somethin? Anyways, I will try to re create those little pictures of michael in paint, if you wanna try to you can!
-
ok , here is my attempt at making that graphic from the control panel in paint, if any of you are talented more than me at this stuff and would be willing to give it a try, please do so! I would highly appreciate any help.
-
here is one with the hat given more detail..please give my work more detail, or do one better than me! Best work will be on my CPO!
-
Here's my interpretation based on that pic...No, I don't have a moonwalker, but the cpo pack for mame32 is where I found that pic.
-
ok,this one is perfect...I copied the pic of the control panel , cut and stretched the picture of jackson on there, and traced over it in paint, so its exact... take a look..
-
here is what I used to trace over...
-
now we have everything! ha... See what can be accomplished. What I really need now is for someone to translate that instruction card so I could put it on the bezel, if not I would have to have it just plain red! anyone, please, anyone...
-
Ugh! :-\ I think you should talk to Snaake first about what can be done before you put that on your cab. I'd hate to see all this work put into your machine with artwork that could use more polish. I'm not saying mine is anywhere close to perfect, but you really need some help from the Artwork forum. I'm not being mean; just offering constructive criticism.
-
lol, after looking at it I know what you mean, I already pmed snaaake asking what he can do about it, we will be able to work on it...Any more tries on that artwork are apprectiated.
-

All you need to do is throw what i wrote into a translator like babelfish or wwwjdic, it'd give you an idea of what it says at least. (That is, after someone else fills in the gaps..)

K started thread in artwork forum regarding work on that image.

Im really starting to lean to the first one I made, as we keep trying to make them better the farther off we get, its a real simple little drawing, and we are getting to far ahead of ourselves.

My best attempt...
