Title: CPO and marquee for my 2nd cabinet...
Post by: somunny on February 14, 2006, 10:13:26 pm

I'm currently building a 3/4 scale cabinet (loosely based on lusid's design) for my kids with a Space Invaders theme.  My skills with PS are novice at best, but I do think I'm improving. 

CPO is 9" x 23"

Thanks, biron.  They're Photoshop .psd files.  You can save a file as just about anything you want, though.

Got my overlay from Mamemarquees today.  I think it turned out pretty nice.

That looks incredible are you going to do side art ?

Thanks!  Well, going along with the Space Invaders theme, I'm thinking about doing a stencil of an invader or two on each side.

Thanks Motor.

Ya know, I have you to thank for this obsession!  About two years ago you posted pics of your cabinets on the RPF.  That lead me here...

btw; I'm familiar with some of the projects you've done.  You're one hell of a painter!
