Hello everyone,
I just joined but have been interested in arcades for some time. I've recently had an interest in making a 1/3 scale Mortal Kombat arcade that is as identical to the original as I can make it.
I've seen someone do it before, but I wanted to create mine a little differently. First off, I was going to actually install T molding around the unit and secondly, I'm trying to build the three-panel area below the controllers. I'm basing it off of plans I got from jakobud.com.
I'm using 3/4" MDF board for this build. The problem I'm running into is that I'm not sure how the original front was built. Are the three boards cut at opposing angles or is it flat on the ends with something filling in the joints? If anyone could shoot me some pointers or know of exact angled cuts that should be made, that would be super!
Here's a picture of the type of arcade I'm talking about:

I'm very excited to be a part of this forum and will be posting more in the future I'm sure.
