Hey, Thanks for all the feedback.

Here’s some more details on the build (sorry, no more pics till I get off work)

the cases are model# 1456PH1WHCWW of the 10 sloped enclosures from Hammond Manufacturing
http://www.hammondmfg.com/dwg16.htm#10degree

Mouser carries them for about $50 a pop. It was a tough decision to pay so much, but I couldn’t find anything I liked as much.

I designed the overlay myself. I got templates from Slagcoin.com. The one I used is the “Standard Japanese Arcade” layout. The art I made in Photoshop. I recreated the Neo Geo panel designs and made Vector versions of the “Neo Geo SNK Multi Video System” logo in Photoshop based on pictures of cabinets I found on google.

It’s printed on some amazing quality matte photo paper by a friend of mine who owns a print shop. It’s ok as matte because it has plexiglass over it which gives it a good shine. The paper and printer he used is incredible. The original file was 300dpi and the text is super sharp. Its actually more vivid in person than in pictures.

This is the art I made for the panel. Re sized down a ton of course. If you or anybody else is interested in it I could email it to them as either a jpg/tiff for printing, or PSD if you want to edit the layout or just steal the Neo Geo logo vectors.

This is what I actually printed (except way bigger)

This is the layout with all the button and joystick placeholders

My HFS for 360. Now I’m working on my TE.

Hey Finchypoo, I know it’s asking alot, but could we get some pics of the inside of those enclosures? I actually was about to buy one of those enclosures a while back but was wanting a physical picture of the insides.

Casual Round 2 art mods.

<-- Bows to Finchy

lolol i didn’t even know there was a femme blanka O_O i wonder how her shaft looks like.

This thing put me through some crap. I tried making a replacement plexi, but it just wasn’t strong enough. Thicker sheets just stuck out too high. In the end I just decided to file the button holes on the metal plate. Also recycled the original art. Stock stick with Seimitsu PS-14-GN buttons in the old SNK color layout. Now I just have to finish the Ryu(white) version of this same stick. :frowning:

Amazing. Imagine somebody winning a tournament with a Hamtaro-themed stick. :rofl:

I asked the Magic 8-ball, it fell off my hands and landed right by my modded HRAP with a LB-39, so I ugess that means: signs point to yes.

omfg Hamtaro’s so fu@^$@& cute!!! :bgrin:

Finally, it’s officially done. Could this be any more of a perfect fit? lol

Thanks for the parts, Toodles!

I have to admit, I’m thoroughly suprised that jack fit so perfectly in that spot. Nicely done.

Absolutely love those twin MVS sticks, Finchy. I wanted to make an mvs stick along these lines, and yours look exactly like I would have wanted mine to turn out, but better
