Looks very nice.

Have you guys tried Gimp?  I've been using that with pretty good luck (along with Visio for drawing shapes and CP layout).

Here's another pass at the control panel.  I'm still trying to come up with ideas for the CP background (that is not too crazy like the beer bubbles).

What about finding the label from the beer, with mebbe that pic of Bob & Doug for the side?

I'm not certain if it's yours or mine.  I was finally able to log into my gmail when I got home (haven't been able to for a few days now for some reason)  I got all 3 e-mails, and none of 'em had an attachment ....um....er....attached.  What size is the image?  Gmail seems to have problems with anything larger than 3 megs, even though they say you can send up to 10 megs as an attachment

Mebbe RAR it, but I doubt you'll get it small enough.  :-\

The Great White North background is the winner so far IMO.

Beer Bubles for the marquee will look good when lit.

I'd go for just Strange Brew as the theme/title.  Drop the 'cade.
... arcade builders could someday rule the world...currency would be reduced to quarters only, and wars would be settled

Not quite.  I've just been crazy busy so haven't had time to post any updates.  I did  manage to take a couple pictures of my little WIP and post them here:

http://www.sharkus.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=733

A bunch of things left to do:

- Finalize artwork for CP and marquee

- Mount speakers

- Make bezel

- Wire side buttons

- Add switches to disable credit buttons (optionally only accept tokens to limit kids game playing)

- Mount and configure lightguns (after I get them)
