thinking of making models again..

[subzero]

I've been toying with the idea of making models again of arcade machines. I know theres a couple guys on here who own one or two, ive made some new templates (star wars trilogy arcade and space harrier) and was curious what else people would like to see and if i should list more on here - I have one listed in trading corner ATM - an op wolf model i made a year or so ago, and have 4 here needing finished.

just putting out the feelers as it were...

If you do (and not suggesting you did before), please don't flood the ebay arcade section with them. Nothing worse than seeing something there only to find it's a blummin tiny model not the real cab!

Edited my original post to avoid confusion: Was inquiring whether Steve was Steve Gauntley from this site - http://retro-heart.blogspot.co.uk/p/about-us.html who took my money and didn't send me the products I ordered. It is not, so apologies for any confusion.

I do remember someone called Retroheart on the Retrogamer forum who did over lots of people with his models, Subzero is not him.

Sorry for the confusion. I've edited my original post so as not to cause problems.

This!

As said above - please put a large disclaimer on your ebay auctions as MODEL or something. I used to get very annoyed about finding them all the time, rather than real cabs.

On Ebay, you can search for 'Arcade cabinet' -model

and it won't list anything with 'model' in the title.

Erm... 4 that need finishing... Hope they weren't previous orders...

If you have got your sh*t together so to speak then why not... If its going to be the same as before... I wouldn't bother...

Are you planning on vanilla balsa and decals models, or will you go the whole hog with mini lcds and actual screenshots?

i think it would be nice if you could stop dumping on my topics these days...

RygaR - bass wood and vinyl decals, lcd screens are too awkward

 

[RygarR]

Fair dos. Nice enough when all squared out. Be better if you could find stand out materials for metallic coin doors etc...

I was trying to be polite as possible as in if it ends up like last time then don't bother. However if you want to actually see through the orders correctly then why not. As you seem to think I 'dump on your topics' I'll just be brutally honest then. Anyone that buys stuff from you will wait an obscene amount of time then when the stuff finally arrives it's wrong then you promise a part refund for ages then argue about the fact so it has to be taken public on the forums to actually get some of the cash back. Tbh I wouldn't bother if I were you as it'd probably save everyone a lot of time in the long run... However again as said before if you are committed to actually seeing it through then why not...

Also if you had just started posting them for sale I'd not have said anything but you asked....

sadly I don't think theres anything metallic that could be printed on

 

[subzero]

been making a new model style and trying out a t-molding effect

 

[FanDabbyDozy]

That does not look so good

If you are making them to try and sell, I do not think it is a good idea.

If making them because you enjoy doing it, then that's a different matter.

If you could make a Ridge Racer upright cab which matches this quality:

I might be interested. But I'd assume cost would put me off. I have a feeling these sorts of things wouldn't be cheap?

Im afraid i'll never be as good as justin whitlocks (above) but i'll never be as bad as gauntleys
