Somebody dimensioned their star wars cockpit
rovingmind:
well i've been playing with mame for 4 years now and that particular machine is what got me into it in the first place.
Now i have the space to actually work on projects and that is my white elephant. I havn't even had the space for a regular arcade project before. I have the wifes OK as long as the house stuff is taken care of so its game on.
I'm going to do this a cocktail and a duel standup not in that particular order. I have lots of time during the day at work since i have lots of time to work on the starwars cab files even if i'm not going to be building it right away.
I'll probably build the cocktail first.
as for the cnc file i don't have the machine but you guys that are interested in them should check out cnczone
I could wait for somebody else to offer the plans but my hands are getting itchy. I'm not a programmer so i figure i could at least help out everybody else who wants one. Once plans get drawn up the hard part is done. Might as well return something to the people who make it possible for me to play.

That's a lot of effort. Thank you for your time, we appreciate it. I will be extremely interested in the results.
I don't have my fileset yet either but I was also in on the initial group buy of the artwork. If the cockpit stuff in there is usable I can help out with that.

Sorry, I didn't spot that last posting. :(
Zeppo:
The ebay auction sold for $2700 and my highest bid was only $1600.
Good luck on getting yours made!
rovingmind:
well zeppo, you can always make your own. :D
wait for the plans and take the dxf file to somebody with a cnc router.
I havn't added it up but i'm thinking it will take about 5 4x8 sheets to make this cab maybe 6.
The only part i don't have any ideas on is the tinted canopy. I havn't looked into that yet. There was a mention earlier about a fellow who had arranged to have some manufactured but he's in the UK. I'll look into that when the time comes. Maybe i'll just make it myself. Heat and bend tinted plexi with a mold.
