Arcade Nostalgia Collection - these are cool!

Was just cruising ebay and came across these - I was tempted to bid on a few.

Very cool highly detailed mini arcade models... (and no I'm not the seller).

i rather suspect that these are based on the 'way of the rodent' downloadable cardboard arcades. to make them a bit nicer i think he is probably using those to veneer his models, so not a hell of a lot of skill involved. i might try it myself and see if they sell ;)

Someone should send the seller a question, asking if he has the Photoshop documents to prove he's the original creator.

I thought that too, but he's got a number of cabs that aren't available on way of the rodent.   Also, he makes tiny joysticks. 

They are cool, but I don't see myself every dropping $40 for something like that.

im pretty sure the way of the rodent is a UK website and this guy is in michigan, could be some connection though. either way they look cool if i won the lotto i may drop some dough on them, but otherwise i would make them myself before dropping 40$+ on them
