CNC Routed Space Invader ceiling tiles...

I completely missed your edit of the first post. I'd like to buy a set similar to Phet's. But, can you make the gun and shields?

What about the Pac stuff? I'd love a Pacman, multiple regular pellets (20 would be a safe number), two power pellets, and two ghosts. Of course, this is assuming the scale is pretty much the same as the Invaders.
 
I still love my Atari collecting but anything I need anymore is about the price of an arcade game. I started collecting arcade games in the 90's but had to sell most when I moved to FL and went full force into Atari because I didn't have much room. Now I have room (well, not enough room for every game I want, yet) so I went back to the arcade games.

Seriously, if you had room would you rather spend $200 + on one Atari 2600 cart or an Atari arcade game? Or Midway, Williams, Nintendo, etc....


Edit: Missed your rework of the first post, make 'em. people will buy them and I'm sure you can get more than $1, gotta support your habit, I mean hobby somehow. :)

Thanks for all the great comments guys, always nice to hear :)

Hey Wade, my work schedule is NUTS this week but I will definetily get you some better pics as soon as I can.

You said it brother, my two "part time" jobs are BOTH giving me overtime, strange since winter is usually the slow season but I'll take it!

No problem, I'll get a list of what colors we have tomorrow. Thanks!

Okay, I think I responded to everyones PM's but if I forgot I apologize and just send me another one. I updated the first post with the color list, Thanks again everybody, this has been a lot of fun :)

Yes sir! Also, for anybody else that wants sort of an idea of the colors, a lot of the material we use is from a place called alpolic
http://www.alpolic-usa.com/pages/products/color-samples.php
They have a color sample section that has a basic idea but so many of the colors slightly vary/etc so if you have any questions I can look up the exact codes of what I have over the next few days. We also use composite from 2 other places called Reynobond and Alucobond but all the colors are pretty similar from all the different companies. Oh, many of the Metallics I have are custom colors made just for certain jobs but they are all shades of Silver/Bronze/etc.. and most only have small differences from the stock colors. Thanks guys! - Brian
 
I would like my order of 6 to be in a brushed aluminum or a color you have that closely resembles grained stainless steel. Thanks!
 
Okay, I sent a confirmation PM to everyone who paid for an order. It was kind of fun, felt like I owned a buisness for a few moments :) Man, that would be the life wouldn't it...oh, back to reality. If you paid for an order but did not get a PM please let me know right away. Thanks again everyone, I'll start getting everything ready for programming and cutting this Saturday :)
 
These are definitely amazing. I am in for a set like good ol Phet and the others. Thanks for working on them!
 
I would love a set.. could you make all the characters and basically have a complete SI wave? As someone else said, some shields and the gun would totally finish it off.
 
Thank you again everybody for the support and interest in the Invaders. It really has been a lot of fun! I think I have now reached a level where I have about the maximum amount I can make as far as available material and getting them done in a decent time frame goes. I will of course still make them for anyone who wants them but I will have to do an accurate inventory on what colors of material I have left before I can guarantee what colors I have, there is still a TON (literally) of material I can use but I'll have to investigate what colors it is and make sure it's not warped or scratched. I have enough to do all the colors requested for everyone that ordered these already. I recieved a few inquires about making shields/etc.. Definetily something I'm not opposed to, if I do make them anyone who has already placed an order for the invaders can have the option of getting the extra's down the road for free, just pay the cost of shipping/paypal fees so I don't actually lose money. If there are any future orders I will sell them for the same price as the invaders, $1 each. Thanks again everybody, I am shooting for having them all done by Saturday and will ship the following Wednesday if everything goes as planned. I can't wait to see some pictures of these in your gamerooms, seeing something I made being used for one of my favorite hobbies is pretty cool if you ask me :)
 
I think we all owe you a great big "Thank You" for doing something so unique for our hobby and pricing it so all could enjoy. It has been a pleasure working with you and I'm sure all the others who purchased from you will agree, You are a class act!! If there is anything I am able to help you with in the future, please, don't hesitate to ask.

Mucho Appreciation!!
 
Cool..

Or what would be really cool is to cut them out of the ceiling foam. Then put plexi behind it.

Then box them off and set up an array of LED's with a timer......

Have them "crawl" across the ceiling.
