Wanted: hires pic of exploding Robotron

[Luigi]

Hi.

I'm drawing a new cpo for my Robotron machine and I need a good/sharp hires pic of the middle section with the exploding robotron behind the white crosshair.

The cpo at Localarcade is unfinished and I'd like to draw it myself.


Could anyone help me?

Thanks

edit: If making a photo please make sure there are no light reflections and the picture is made directly from above the panel (to avoid size differences due to the perspective)

It looks like you could make a nice illustrator trace of that and maybe find some slightly cleaner images to confirm the details. Have to be some images out in Al Gore's Internet.

Hi.

I don't have AI but I tried the trace function in CorelDraw X3 but due to the straigt lines the results were poor.
I guess if tracing it with AI would be good, "akator" wouldn't have uploaded an unfinished CPO

I already started redrawing with CorelDraw over an imported bitmap but as you can see my panel artwork is not in a very good condition


I already searched the net for good pictures but they are all far from what I need.


edit: I think I have to say that I used a far better picture for my first redraw parts. The attached picture should just show WHY I need a good photo

Don't use a "trace" function--do it by hand.
That's what people mean when they say "trace it".

That's exactly what I want to do: draw it by hand (but in Corel).

But to do this I need a good picture. As you can see my panel artwork is very bad. I already "traced" the good parts but I need a good picture for the rest.

why not just buy a nice screenprinted reproduction from ARcadeshop.com?

Can't beat that

I already made my own cpos for Asteroids Deluxe and Missile Command and believe me: they are equal to those that are sold at Arcadeshop or whereever.

They can be downloaded at Localarcade.

Why don't I buy those perfect CPOs?

1) Save money
2) I can say "I've made it!!"


I really do appreciate all your hints but I'd be very happy if there would be one who says "Hey Luigi, here are a few pics of the panel you wanted" 

edit: I forgot to say: the US-panels are smaller than the european ones  So the CPOs won't match.

Thanks for your link....I didn't know this site 'til now

Unfortunately there is the same unfinished CPO as the one at Localarcade

you will not find anything different
