Hi there!
Not for me but a friend who has selfbuild a Defender cabinet.
Can't find it on the web - has anyone a hires-picture, or better a vectorgraphic of the Defender sideart? I know it's spraypainted in original, but it's still rather complex.

if you find a good enough res image of the side art, and are not in hurry I'll could help for the vectorisation .

Thanx, Zorg, I'll try that! I'll keep you informed :)

I'm just about done with a vector version if you don't mind waiting a few days.

Is there any chance of me getting a copy of your artwork as well? I've been trying to aquire a set for sometime now. Mahuti talked about letting me download his set but it never came to pass.

Hey, thats great! :D I'll happily wait - just keep us informed :)

By the way, had a look at your "toyshelf-room" -wow, that looks great, reminds me of a victorian house! :) Say, are these wallpapers or is it some special kind of wallpaint? :o Very nice shelf, too - really love it!

Hey I finally have all of the Defender art up on my site. I hope it works for everyone. The bezel and marquee are extremely large since I used a real space jpeg. If anyone wants to improve on them feel free!
Nope, not wallpaper, just plain old satin paint from Lowes. I rolled on the lighter red first then went over it with a much darker red using a 4" brush to create a textured look. :)
-
Wow, thats really good work! Thank you so much!
Just forwarded it to a friend (the one with the selfbuild Defender-cab) - I'm really curious about his reaction! :)
BTW, the textured look of this room is really impressive. Maybe we should do the same with the arcade/partyroom...

No problem, glad to do it! Although looking at your bezel I am now not so happy with what I made. Definitely missing some stuff! If you don't mind taking some closeup pics around the monitor I could make it little closer to the real thing?

How much work would it be to make a stencil version of your vector files? I think that would be a nice alternative for someone who didn't want to have all those graphics printed out, and it would also add a nice authentic touch since the Defender artwork was painted on. I imagine all that would need to be done would to be separate the the different color layers to individual files, and then have a common reference point so each color stencil would line up.
Like this Joust stencil, for example: http://www.arcadecollecting.com/caga/sideart/JoustSideStencils.zip

Not much! Got it done and posted.

What does it mean when it sayd the parser module cannot parse the file? That's the PS error I got when trying to open the stencils....
I'm an artwork noob. ;)

He only had this little graphic here and pumped it up for printing, since no original bezel were available. His cab is a selfbuild one like mine - so no original parts there!
Today I'm his translator, so this message is meant to come from Houdini itself! ;)

I don't know! I just checked and they wouldn't work for me either. I've redone them and now they work on mine so hopefully it is fixed. :)

Cool! I'll try to rework it to make it look better.
Thanks!
