Title: Papercade or Arcade Video Game DIY Kits?
Post by: Deefish on January 26, 2009, 01:50:26 pm

Hey Guys, has anyone posted about these new DIY Miniature Cabs for your desk?

Pretty cool! Slightly more sturdy than Papercade:

I may buy a couple, I just hope they come out with some more models! I would want a Robotron and a Ms. Pacman at least.

Cheers,
Deefish

None of those cabinets look accurate to me (except maybe the Centipede) - at least the papercade ones mimic the actual cabs...

Yeah, the fact that the cabinet shapes are all wrong would bug me.

I was too traumatized by the green t-molding on the Galaga and the lack of woodgrain on Zaxxon to even notice ...

When I saw this: I was converted. I am very tempted to put green on my own!

I think Frizz did the same thing. I dunno -- hell, the CP on mine is the wrong shade of blue, so who am I to judge.

Oh yeah, I'm the resident grumpy old man -- get offa my lawn!

They are pretty cool and the pins are cool too and they are cheap. However considering he lasercuts them using proper cab shapes would not have been too hard to do.

If he was producing detailed stuff like this (as featured in this month's GameRoom Magazine (http://www.gameroommagazine.com)):

I tried to make a mini gun.smoke papercraft... good thing my actual machine came out better. But if you want to talk about a cool papercraft that I thought came out neat, check out my 9 foot Super Mario complete level 1-1 above my window !

Damn, that is a little rough ta look at.

I like the green t-molding on Galaga. Makes it look sharp.
