Year of Star Wars
« on: June 11, 2014, 01:59:51 pm »
Gonna lay it out here folks.  I've been sitting on this idea for years.  This is the year I go where others have gone before and make a custom Star Wars.


I have the major parts for an upright Star Wars Cabinet.  Marquee, Bezel, Yoke, CP, Coin door.  The only thing missing are new pieces of art, game board and Vector monitor.   I guess that's like saying I almost have all of the Infinity Gems for the Infinity Gauntlet.  *shrug*

In the mean time, I plan to layout the build direction, brainstorm artwork, look for a few missing bolts for the yoke and move forward.

Here is my short commentary on the art:

I had an idea to use the left side of the cockpit art, where Vader is standing with his light saber on the left.  On the right side I would use the right side artwork from the upright machine.

I saw this used in the Star Wars pedestal (will link later) I'd like to fit it into the base.  I always thought the kick plate was a bit off anyway

At this point, its not of much consequence, but I did receive my 10k ohm pots today to be used with the inbound micro pcb.

:droid:

More updates as they present themselves.

I did not find the droids I was looking for. 

Chances are I won't finish this year.   :dunno
