Bubble Bobble 300 dpi Control Panel

Found some time this morning to waste and knocked up a Bubble Bobble themed control panel, decided to leave "Bub" and "Bob" off my design as they're already on the Bezel and sideart, plus I think the panel looks busy enough as it is.

Again, the panel is sized for the Koenig cabinet plans but as I've included the Photoshop PSD and GIMP XCF files they it can easily be adapted.

Bubble Bobble 300 dpi Bezel

The last of the eBay auctions ends in an hour or so after a week of non payers, late payers and relisting.

After eBay fees, postage etc etc it's looking like the budger is £160, so no kit from Rich's Bartop Arcades or the Retro Pit, looks like it's the DIY route  :-S

As it looks like I'll be using the Koenig plans I've been trying to find Bubble Bobble artwork which will fit.  I was unsuccessful but found some artwork for a Bartop sized cabinet @ http://zonaarcade.forumcommunity.net/?t=45266890 - The actual side art etc were only 150 dpi which may look blocky when printed, luckily the downloaded included .PSD files which included each element at a higher resolution as seperate files so I decided to use these to recreate the art for the Koenig cabinet in 300dpi.   

So far I've created a 300dpi bezel which can be downloaded in Photoshop PSD, PNG and GIMP XCF formats;

Plenty of work ahead to re-work the other art.

Messing around with graphics takes my mind off the fact there is some serious wood work ahead :-(

Arcade Art

Think I have now decided to go with a Bubble Bobble theme on the cabinet art as it's one of my favourite C64 games, plus as the cabinet may end up in the bedroom of our Baby that's on the way it's less likely to inspire nightmares than Terminator is.  

Scooby Doo still might sneak in there though, I realise there probably never was a Scooby Doo arcade machine so it's not really "authentic", but hey it's Scooby Doo! 

Here are some of the ideas I've been playing with (click for larger image);

Will make a final decision when I know what size / shape cab I'm building, which in turn depends on how the eBay auctions go...
