Just Finished Custom Shmup Cabinet!!!
« on: September 25, 2010, 01:31:28 am »
Been working on this for the past month and just finished yesterday. I was inspired by all the new Shmups that are releasing on 360 and the great ones that have already been released.

I decided I didn't want to make a generic cab so I decided I had to pick a specific game so I went with the game that got me really get into shmups back when it released on Dreamcast, "Ikaruga".



Concept was to make a simple design that would:
- Be smaller than my 2 other cabs (Vewlix custom & Astro City)
- Be able to rotate from vertical to horizontal without unmounting the monitor
- Capture the feel of the game but also stand alone if I decide to change the theme
- Stick with the "polarity" theme in Ikaruga

So I used:
- Hammered silver and black paint that has a slight shine but also a rougher
look to kinda simulate the Ikaruga ship.
- Asus 24 inch monitor
- Lizardlick repro panel with custom gameongrafix overlay
- JP 360 for Cave shmups etc.
- Jwin sound bar/subwoofer just cause it fit the size price I was looking for

Here is the finished project:

Whatup Space! You been working on anything since the vewlix?

I was inspired by the lindbergh design and for its ease of rotation lol.

Sorry about build pics, i'm the most once I get started i'm gonna finish with no stopping type of guy ever haha. Once I received all the components in from shipping etc. it took me like 4 days to finish the whole thing off haha. I'm not a professional in any areas of woodworking/painting/wiring/design so everything was probably not done 100% proper but I love the outcome.

Yeah, I started working on a cabinet for the Wii, Kinect (or whatever it's called) and the PS Move. Definitely going to redesign it though although what I have is currently serving a purpose.
