Stenciling a Ms. Pac-man – Part 5
In part 5 of the tutorial showing you how to re-stencil artwork on your own Ms. Pac-man, we talked through some of the misconceptions for those of you who have never done stenciled artwork before (like me). Now that we are through that text heavy portion, let’s move onto the photos showing how my taped up artwork looked following Brian Jones cabinet stenciling instructions. (more…)
Stenciling a Ms. Pac-man – Part 4
Finally! Part 4, it’s a miracle! Part 1-3 of the stencil a Ms. Pac-man tutorial was based on the work by a arcade game collector out West by the name of Donnie. However, from here on out the how-to’s will be written using the progress I have made on restoring my own Ms. Pac-man.
I am going to try to break the tutorials into smaller pieces, so let’s get started. At this point you have stripped, sanded, primed and painted the Glidden Blue on your Ms. Pac-man. The next step is to start to apply the vinyl stencils. It’s more time consuming than you might think. (more…)
Picked up Sega Frogger in Indianapolis Today
Wouldn’t you know. I made arrangements to get out and pick up this Frogger today on the first snow of the winter here in Indianapolis. The friend who owns the truck went with me, so that took the slight worry away since I was using someone else’s vehicle. The Frogger was the only thing sitting in a garage just south of Broadripple. Sad and dusty inside, this Frogger has been sitting in a house for 15 years.
Reproduction Star Wars Yoke Overlays – Why the colors are so difficult
Around late September 2008 Rich at This Old Game got films from Scott Evans (owned of a good chunk of original Atari production films) for the Star Wars cockpit artwork. As far as I know, only the control panel overlays and the yoke have been reproduced in some larger quantities over the years. However, the yoke seems to be of particular interest because of the poor comparison quality of previous reproductions. If there’s one guy that has the skill, and the trust of collectors to print revisions until every detail is right, it’s Rich Lint. Here’s what is going on with this project so far. (more…)
Prototype Paperboy lands in Ataricade
Three weeks ago it was a rare Red Baron prototype, and once again hard work and persistence pays off. The second of two known Paperboy prototypes is snatched up by Francis over at Ataricade. Delivered to his doorstep the biggest decision really became, what has to go? (more…)
No ads for a year at CoinOpSpace.com – Arcade Game Forum
Just a short note, and an exciting note I’ve been early awaiting to announce since last week.
We have a donor that offered to pay the first year of ad removal from CoinOpSpace.com – Arcade Game Forum. Awesome and generous donation, but one that speaks for the commitment to this MySpace like Social Network to take off.
Help promote CoinOpSpace.com!
Tonight I finished what I anticipate will be the initial offering of banners, logos, and other promotional graphics for my new arcade game forum at CoinOpSpace.com. I have tried to offering a quick smattering of graphics that collectors might desire to place on their own websites, but I am looking for feedback on what additional sized graphics, colored backgrounds, you would be looking for.
