it's not finished yet, missing CP, plexiglass and real golden axe marquee...

In front of it is the control panel that I made last spring... Decided to move on to bigger things

Looks great, nice and clean.

It was funny, I was looking at the CP that you built, then looking at the cab, and saying to my self,

"Self, this dude's gotta be a gorilla! Look at the size of that panel for the cab!"

Nice work!

I just wanted to thank you because you printed your artwork on vinyal and I did the same this time and GOD ! !,
OUCH.... ..the artwork look so cool...i cant explain by words(I would post a pic but my serial port is acting funny) but your site helped(convinced me).Freagin vinyal is the cheapest material my local kinkos carry.SO,I gave it a shot and amezing result.Thanks again.

Thanks I did find one problem with that though, on my control panel, the vinyl is "sticking" to the plexiglass in some places, making sort of a "ring" on the art itself, like a water stain or something. This happens everywhere there's a button/joystick, the carriage bolts are pressing hard on the plexiglass, causing this effect. I wonder if spraying a coat of sealant or something on it would have prevented that...

It's a conversion from an old arkanoid machine (www.animeka.net/arcade/ga00.jpg) it's not as big as it looks, the cabinet is about 5'11"

The control panel is definitely NOT what will end up on the cab I'm having metal control panels cut and folded, that are identical to the original panel (minus the artwork).

Actually it looks like arkanoid was a conversion put into a capcom bowling cabinet:)

Are the arkanoid parts working?  Going to sell them?  I might be interested....
