I love it!! Overambitious for a first cab, sure - but you have to give it a go! Any similar 'deluxe' control plans also appreciated.  ;D

Want to be really ambitious? then have a go at designing it for yourself :), looking at it, it's just a big box, so won't be too hard, just get a big bit of paper(or tape some smaller bits together) and start sketching it out life size. You start at say 800-900 mm long, say 400-500 deep, and it won't be far off. Might want to consider the size, though, do you really need a 4player panel? really? as for button, joystick placements, again just draw some 30mm circles, and move them around until it feels comfortable.

i'm almost finished my first cab (cocktail) and i just followed the 'keep it simple' rule, at least to start with....

hope this helps, cause really it's not that hard to design this. Construction may be your concern, but take a look at the construction sections of the hundreds of examples available on this site - a little research goes a long way! :)

  That looks like the Ultimate Arcade II.

  Rockhopper's right though.  I bought these plans and ended up designing my own control panel because I didn't like the way those top buttons were all grouped together, wanted 7 buttons per player, stuff like that.  While I bought the plans because I'm a newb woodworker, I know I'll be very proud when I finish it and I can say I designed it myself.. and it wasn't hard at all.

Yeah, you totally don't need plans. One day a few years ago I decided I wanted a cocktail, so I just went to home depot and bought some stuff, and then just built one. Traded it later towards a pinball, guy never even acted like there was anything strange about it.
