Title: Just added CP artwork
Post by: tophatne1 on October 30, 2008, 01:10:40 am

The CP is almost done. Just a few touch ups and then onto the wiring.

I used a modified version of the Arcade Paradise 3 cabinet for the plans. I wanted the cab to look like an existing arcade machine so I went with a Centipede/Missile Command reunion theme.

I designed the CP artwork from scratch using Photoshop and an actual photo of the real cabinet artwork as a guide.

I'll post pictures of the full cab completed very soon!

Looks great. What brand trackball is that? Is it translucent orange?

That's the only thing that stood out to me as not matching the rest of the design - any chance you can swap it out for a black one?  It looks fantastic though - very retro.   :cheers:

Thanks.

The trackball is actually translucent RED. It does look orange in the picture but lit up it's very red and looks great. I'll post some more pics when it's all lit up sometime soon.

Ahhh... red is perfect - matches the balltop!   :cheers:

Yeah, it is a Happ no doubt. Mine is the same, looks orange in pics but when it is lit up it is crazy red!

I ended up going for a electric ice just to match the rest of my design because of the orangey look when unlit. It is a bit of a shame that it is like that, the blue one always looks blue!

GOOD JOB! :applaud:
