Hey this is what I just did today. It's about 18 inches tall. And I know the W is missing from the yellow circle. I messed it up while installing it. Looks pretty good if you ask me.

Not bad at all.

Did you buy the stencil, or print one from another source?

Neither, it's a vinyl cut decal. It's 3 pieces and I had to overlay the other 2 colors.

SUPERB!!!

I'm _TOTALLY_ doing a variant of the Joust logo for the cab I'm building, and I'm thinking of going the cut vinyl route (I'm doing all my cab art in those three colours).

HOW did you get the registration lined up right? That's the one thing that terrified me. How do you get it precise?

hotwhls · « **Reply #5 on:** June 27, 2004, 08:57:25 pm »

I actually eyedballed layering the 3 pieces. I think it turned out very well. It is off in a few spots, but for doing a quick job, I'm very satisified with it. I'll post another pic of it with my kids standing by it for size comparison.

pretty sharp stenciling job you have done.

can you resize your pic?

For the love of vishnu, RESIZE YOUR PICS, PLEASE.

hotwhls · « **Reply #7 on:** June 27, 2004, 10:33:10 pm »

Done! If it's still to big let me know.

Very cool. You could do a lot with that vinyl cutter. You should do some of the other "icons" of classic vids (Galaga ship, Defender ship, Ms. Pac, Mario or DK, etc.) and offer them up as gameroom decorations. I know I would be in for a set.

bdsjake · « **Reply #9 on:** June 29, 2004, 10:23:34 am »

is this something you bought? if so, where?!

thanks,

Floyd10 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 29, 2004, 02:33:09 pm »

wow... is this the first time youve read this thread? o.O
anyways, I would love to see the decals used as either more side art for the cab or decor. either way, if you make, POST!

hotwhls · « **Reply #11 on:** June 29, 2004, 02:35:48 pm »

Thanks for the good coments. If I can get the images for other characters I'll be making them also. So be on the lookout for others as well. Anyone have any suggestion on what they would like?

Floyd10 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 29, 2004, 02:49:24 pm »

Joust(get it!?) regular side art.

Galaga ship
Defender ship
Ms. PacMan
blue ghost
3 or 4 different space invaders
Moon Patrol buggy
Any of the characters from Robotron
Centipede and mushrooms
Donkey Kong
Light Cycles (both yellow and blue)

Floyd10 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 29, 2004, 03:09:17 pm »

Big bill to fit, there

hotwhls · « **Reply #15 on:** June 29, 2004, 10:03:46 pm »

I've got all of the space invaders already. I'm working on the galaga ship right now. And I have one of the robotron guys also. Just got to get them cleaned up. Will post when I have them ready.

hotwhls · « **Reply #16 on:** June 30, 2004, 10:58:09 pm »

If anyone can help me with the images, I'll be glad to make anything you want. I just need the images in an eps format that will cut. I'm not good enough or have the time to play with illustrator.

Floyd10 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 30, 2004, 11:12:30 pm »

sorry man. Not good working with nodes. I tought myself how to use M$PAINT skillfully

Thanks for the suggestion, but the files there are still not ready to cut. They need to be saved a different way and I can;t get them to save correctly. Pixelhugger usually does it for me but he has been extremely busy lately. Actually I need to find out from him what exactly he does when he saves or converts them for me.

Nannuu · « **Reply #20 on:** July 01, 2004, 01:04:49 am »

If you have Illustrator just open the file and save it as an EPS.
File -> Save As ->
Change "Save Type As" to EPS
Hit Ok
Change Compatibility to version 7 or 8 (my preference to increase compatibility with older programs)
Hit Ok again.
That should do it. What program are you cutting with?

hotwhls · « **Reply #21 on:** July 01, 2004, 01:07:50 am »

Hey thanks again. I sent you a PM.

Karman · « **Reply #22 on:** July 01, 2004, 05:30:14 pm »

Personally, I would rather see you do more of the game characters, ships, etc. as they're seen on the screen, rather than the marquee or sideart (like you did with the space invader).

For example, I would rather see this:

Instead of this:

I would like it to look like the game is playing on my wall, rather than the look of a bunch of marquees on the wall.

Floyd10 · « **Reply #23 on:** July 01, 2004, 05:33:00 pm »

It's all graphic specific.

hotwhls · « **Reply #24 on:** July 02, 2004, 10:51:25 pm »

Thats all I am wanting to do is the characters. The Marquees would be way to much work to do with vinyl. It would be possible but just not worth it.

Did this ever go anywhere? I'm about to start decorating my game room . . .

What characters you guys looking for? I have space invaders, Galaga Ships, Ms pac man, working right now on Asteroids (the ship, some shots and a few rocks) and the next one is a Tempest kit.. all gameroom wall art stuff.. I'm also starting to produce plotter cut stencils for arcade machines, so far Taito, Joust and Stargate are done and I can sell those.
