Gonna lay it out here folks. I've been sitting on this idea for years. This is the year I go where others have gone before and make a custom Star Wars.
I have the major parts for an upright Star Wars Cabinet. Marquee, Bezel, Yoke, CP, Coin door. The only thing missing are new pieces of art, game board and Vector monitor. I guess that's like saying I almost have all of the Infinity Gems for the Infinity Gauntlet. *shrug*
In the mean time, I plan to layout the build direction, brainstorm artwork, look for a few missing bolts for the yoke and move forward.
Here is my short commentary on the art:
I had an idea to use the left side of the cockpit art, where Vader is standing with his light saber on the left. On the right side I would use the right side artwork from the upright machine.
I saw this used in the Star Wars pedestal (will link later) I'd like to fit it into the base. I always thought the kick plate was a bit off anyway
