will start doing some custom 1 off GLASS marquess and bezels
Since its not always possible to do screenprint for alot of these pieces
either because of $$$, interest, or complexity of art
inkjet is really the only viable solution for some pieces.
But I wanted to kick it up a notch and do some custom solvent inkjets on glass.
so theres no need to sandwhich tape, or cut out the centers, etc.
these are drop in repros.

So heres the technicals
Reverse Solvent inkjet printed, silkscreened with a translucent white on the back
(bezels with opaque white) then laminated to the back side of glass.

My first test
SpyHunter marquee from a raw uncleaned, non color corrected scan.

there is absolutly no visible air bubles or adhesive seen
So Ill be going through this scan color corrcting and touching it up the fine details

So besides SpyHunter Ill be looking at alot of other canidates Journey, EDOT backglass and SpyHunter cockpits come to mind.

Any other suggetsions??
 
Although not technically authentic, I would be interested in a Paperboy marquee, printed with that method on glass. Of course, I'd store the original translite and glass inside the game, but there might be some games that had a translite where folks might be interested in buying a glass reproduction.

Another would be Major Havoc marquee on a Space Duel sized glass.
 
good point on the translights

and I should point out there will be some off the table Major Havoc is one.
I work closely with most of the other repro heros so Im aware of alot of projects in the works or under consideration for screening even if Im not the one printing
and MH/SD is one of them and Zoo Keeper comes to mind as another one in the works for screening.

I have no intention of reproducing anything that has been screened or possibly will be screened. even if it was screened on plex.

Id perfer to concentrate on pieces not liklely to be done or complete customs
 
Black widow

wow, rich this is great news.....

my vote would be for a BLACK WIDOW marquee.

these always seem to be super flakey and always damaged. the few i have seen for sale that are nice have been offered up on klov in the 100 dollar (plus) range.

TAPPER i think would be another nice candidate.

I thought I heard someone was working on Tapper art. The marquee and bezel should be considered, even if for a low numbers/pricy run.
 
Jungle King is another good canidate

Black widow, Berzerk and Tapper are all in for screening by others at some point.
 
I could keep you quite busy Rich, right away I could use bezels for frontline, jungle king and spy hunter.
