kafreviews March 26, 2013 Share March 26, 2013 Hello to all, I have recently finished most of the work on my arcade cabinet, and I thought you might want to take a look at it. The whole thing was made from scratch (Pine tree Wood + some mdf), painted black + then carefully and painfully 'dowloaded-printed-cut and glued' (decoupage) all the sides 'stickers' (well they are not stickers, I used a technique simillar to decoupage). Small details are left, such as finding-buying and installing the T-molding, and a marquee design. Other than that it works pretty well!. Hope you enjoy the photos There is also a Video Available Here, at my youtube channel : keep on gaming!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antinull April 9, 2013 Share April 9, 2013 very interesting stickerbomb look to the cabinet, i like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kafreviews April 11, 2013 Author Share April 11, 2013 Thanks It 'lights up' the room it is in, giving an 'artistic / modern' look to that room. It took about 2 days of work for the stickers to be applied! It also occupies players that does not play or wait for their turn, by scanning the cabinet with their eyes, reading all the stickers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lytesenthedarc April 12, 2013 Share April 12, 2013 Very, very nice. So is there any special significant for the stickers; are they the games on the machine, or favorites, or just completely random? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kafreviews April 16, 2013 Author Share April 16, 2013 Most of them are favorites (such as Cadillacs & Dinosaurs which I cannot get it to play in the new version of Mame), and the rest are all sweet memories of my childhood Any ideas how to get the new mame in windows 7 to play the cadilacs & Dinosaurs rom?

jviegas February 3, 2014 Share February 3, 2014 No offense kafreviews, but for me, your cabinet looks like a news paper. But it's a matter of taste, I like it with more clean artwork. jviegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
