Very nice indeed  :)

You may want to post some slightly smaller size pictures instead of the last three. I think they must be wider than the max forum size and they have been automatically shrunk which gives makes your artwork look almost like a stretched bitmap rather than a nice smooth vector etc.

Oh yeah, whilst I'm here, my GF mailed your package this morning. Hopefully you should have it with in a week or so, maybe a little longer with the Xmas post and all.  :cheers:

I got a kick out of the Dreamcast logo under the joystick and incorporated into the side art, commemorating the 10th Anniversary.   :cheers:

That is sexy. Although I want to see that 10th sticker on the side extend all the way to the molding as that 90 degree cut kind of kills the coolness.


Also, thanks for my marquee! It's beautiful and I recommend Emdkay to all! (You printed my Japanese Capcom banner with the sasquatch on it)

Ah, thanks! I owe you one!

The sasquatch marquee was one of my favorites.. him and his little paint bucket  :lol

I think you're right.. the cabinet's other side did get the side art cut along the curved t-molding and it does look much better.  It's a good thing I can just print another one  ;) 


Thanks all, for the comments  :cheers:

I still have my Dreamcast and I remember picking it up brand new from Toys R Us back in 1999 for $50 brand new too.  It was a good system but too bad sega was a little bit too late and did to many hardware turnovers which pissed off a lot of gaming developers causing them to abandon the platform.

*tears up* That's beautiful man! A very nice build indeed. Sega couldn't have made anything nicer.
