I need some advice on my marquee with picture
« on: April 08, 2007, 08:17:03 pm »
I have designed a marquee based on the galaga marquee and I was first wanting some reviews since this is my first marquee, and second I have not bought the retainers yet and was wondering if I needed to leave more room on the bottom and the top any input would be great

I like it. I didn't use purchased retainers on my cab (made my own with strips of metal), but you're going to want at least half an inch all the way around.

Thanks for the advice, I'll move the graphics to leave some space and try my luck at the home depot to find something to use for a retainer

I like it... it's a solid and proven design..so that is definitely working for you.

I'm not sure I like how you've placed some of the characters, especially the Space Invaders ones... I think they're a bit small to really be taken in from a normal standing position, and I think the acknowledgement of them can be done with just one or two aliens...
