Plans for a cabinet ID website
Crowquill:
I think we've established that there could be potential in this site to help the community, so I'd better get to work!
The trickiest part is trying to find good pics of the cabs. Atari ones seem to be easier since there are lots of photos of the sideart. The other factor with photos is how perspective can throw things off. Pics taken from a short distance away at a higher resolution seem to work better than the ones right up on the cab. Not that I'm obsessed with making them 100% accurate. They'll be as close as I can get them, but since most of the source material for these silhouettes is found around the web, results may vary.
Kremmit:
I wonder if you could pull side shapes from the cab models for the 3dArcade/Emulaxian frontend:

Crowquill:
I'd thought of that, but the models are somewhat simplified. Sometimes those little differences could be the thing that sets a cab apart. There really are plenty of pics on the web and I can always beg for more if there's some I can't find.
Drawing them in Illustrator is the easy part.
