CNC Routed Space Invader ceiling tiles...

Just now getting around to posting that I received my invaders exactly as I ordered them. I had to wait for the right color but it was well worth the wait. These are absolutely the shiznit. Thanks so much CC. Now all I have to do its get my gameroom cleaned out so I can paint it and put these up. May have to get some Berzerkers for the other wall.

Just figured I'd bump this to ask the status of Berzerk sprites. :)
Hello audiomidiman, and everybody else :)
Not very much progress on anything new, our shop lost an employee so we have been working more than usual for this time of the year since the boss doesn't want to hire another person just yet. Thats fine with me, I like overtime :) I have also had a pretty steady supply of Invaders to crank out that has been keeping me pretty busy with any free time I get at work which has been simply amazing, I really can't thank you guys enough and am very grateful for everything :) Eventually we will get another employee at the shop and I will have more time for fun things, I'll make sure it is a top priority once we die down a bit. There is so many things I want to make, I would also like to try making some Control panels/etc.. Me and my print shop buddy have also been talking about projects we could do since he has been in the printing buisness for 20+ years and can vectorize stuff/etc.. The cool thing is he is just like me and saves all the scrap material/ink from old jobs so maybe we can make some cool inexpensive projects or resto art together :) Looking forward to doing whatever I can, thanks guys!
 
I have some of these on order and have couple Q's for the folks that already have them.

What are the sizes of the INVADERS? And Second how are you guys mounting them?

I am finishing my arcade and installing a drop ceiling, with 2x2 tiles. I can not tell from Crazy Climber's picture on the first page of this thread, the size of the tiles. Either 1x1 or 2x2's.

This will help me figure out the layout and finish the ceiling before they arrive.

Thanks guys.

The tiles are approx 1'x1' in size and about 1/8" thick.

I haven't mounted mine yet, but I have no plans to put them on my ceiling. I'm gonna put them on my walls.
 
I just made myself some vector files for Berzerk characters/sprites yesterday. (Cut them out of white polyester for my gameroom) If you want a copy of the file, just PM me and I'll email it to ya. ;) Would save you some time! And I made them correctly, not a hack job. All pixels are perfect squares, and were aligned with a mame screencap.
Can you please post pics of the Berzerks you made so that we can get overly excited?

Btw, I was part of 'Ken's Big Canadian Order' and I received my Space Invaders yesterday; they look great! However, I basically gave 4 of my 10 away to spread the metallic sprite love.

Absolutely. I keep kicking myself for not taking some newer pics of my arcade, I have done a lot since the last picture-taking... I will do my 100% damndest to take some when I get home tonight. And I am always willing to 'share' some of these in exchange for trade items, as well... ;)

Ok, I just posted 5 pics in Phet's "Game Room Decor/ Arcade Art" thread...
 
I forgot to post pics of mine being displayed. I assume the Berzerk ones aren't happening anymore, but the SI ones were pretty sweet:

Nice setup of the SI aliens. You have one nice gameroon Phet. Looks awesome!

Thanks Mike. I bought way more than I can display in this room. I am trying to gather all the extras up and find ways to use them. I may build a few custom wall sconces or desk lamps with the extras, then sell those.
 
Here are my Invaders finally up:

Can you dig it?

Looks like you only got 3 actual "arms down" invaders and the rest of the "arms down" invaders are just "arms up" invaders upside down.
