Just made a new marquee for my blast city cab. What do you think?

I have been restoring my blast city cab and I decided to make my own marquee since the design was simple an I have a vinyl plotter. This machine will also have a dreamcast installed

The first picture, it looks like it lines up perfect. For some reason the second picture looks like the dreamcast portion is slightly off to the right compared to the lower marquee.

Could just be my eyes playing a trick on me or the camera angle. Other then that, I think it looks great.

Are you going to modify a control panel to wire up to the controller?

I didn't notice it at first, but the Top part does seem to like be a bit off to the right. But only because you pointed it out did I see it. :D

Still look great IMHO. Do you have the template for this? I've been making custom artwork that I've wanted to use on my BLAST, but never could find the correct size marquee template.

I have a svg file as the template. It's a native Inkscape file but will open in illustrator and the alike. Pm me your email and I'll send it

Dreamcast Controllers use Hall effect Joysticks, and are hart to come across in an arcade size. just a heads up if this is our intention. I am working on a PCB that will convert 49 way optical sticks to mimic Hall effect sticks, but am a couple of years from having anything useable.
