First time builder... long time lurker.

Have got plenty of great advice and direction from this forum, wanted to share my current progress. I just finally moved the cab inside from the garage to start wiring. Figured now is a good time to share.

Based my build off the 2nd version plans on arcadecab.com. Had my artwork printed by GameOnGrafix, who I highly recommend. Artwork print came out perfect.

Here we go:

Really nice work man. The artwork looks really clean with your build. I like it. I would assume its super heavy, but who cares, these arent made to be mobile anyway.

Hey, that's sharp!  Nice to see this one coming together, keep it up!

Not a fan of composite artwork usually, but that looks very classy.

I think I've finished the control panel art finally... feels right...

Just debating whether or not to add text under the controls... like P1 START, INSERT COIN etc... hmmm

Three common approaches:

1. Vinyl stickers from Slammedniss.

2. Text on CPO.

3. Print your own inserts for translucent buttons.

Awesome! Love the photoshop work in both the sideart and the control panel. Really slick!
