Title: The BUC CADE
Post by: MudFlapMan on March 06, 2008, 08:37:41 am

Here are a few pics of my new arcade. I created the helmets from water-jet cut aluminum, then I powder coated them and added vinyl. They're my favorite part. I also refurbed the coin door by sand blasting and  powder coating it a new shiny black. The side art is all vinyl and I had the marquee and cp underlay printed at my second job. This is my second cab and I'm happy with it, so I thought I'd share.

I have been a die hard Bucs fan my entire life.  That may be one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

Yay for an awesome cabinet! 

Boo for the Buccaneers!   >:D

Go Giants!!!   ;D

Really nice job - I like how the front end has the skull and crossbones to match the theme.  What emulators are you running and where did you get the sideart printed so big on vinyl?   :cheers:

The side art isn't printed vinyl it's cut vinyl from a plotter. I work in a sign shop so I did it at my job. I'm running the latest version of mame, project 64 and zync. I still have to add a few things but it's pretty much done.

Thanks for all the feed back!

Nice.

I'd try to make a Lion Cade  but, given the curse, I'm sure it would suck!   :cry:

Yeah!  When you get a free game you need a cannon to go off.
