I was laying out the art work I have for my multi williams stargate tonight. I was checking out how it might look with the new stencils from ThisOldGame.

Anyway it seems that I ended up with mismatch cpo and bezel... The first piece I had was the phoenix arcade cpo. Then I bought what I thought was a matching bezel from tanman... boy was I wrong and I could have swore he told me the bezel would match my cpo...

It's not even close! What in the hell can I do now? I need something that matches for this machine. Any ideas???

wtf...

What do you mean match? Those two pieces were designed together originally.

You have a non original piece of artwork with another non original piece of artwork. They are both for Williams Multi - where's the problem?
I don't see what the problem is?
 
No shit... So this set does match and or was designed to be together...

Somewhere along the line i have seen the bezel and cpo match up with each other. Graphics would stop at the bottom of the bezel then the same graphics would then continue down the cpo. Maybe a bunch of djdns multi's matched...

I guess I was looking at other peoples projects that were along the lines of a custom themed set made to match each other...??? Somebody's stuff matched up perfect... That's fore sure.

So my bad... Guess I drink another beer and celebrate buying the correct pieces then.

Is this the setup you are thinking of?

Here is what a complete Phoenix Arcade set looks like.

I too didn't like how the stock Williams Multigame artwork bezel and CPO didn't really work well with each other...so I did my own bezel...

It's still not perfect, but at least the joust "platform" sort of works together...
 
I don't know about anyone else but I'm extremely tired of the "standard/typical" Multi Williams. All machines pictured are nice don't get me wrong but I have to say Rikitiki offering the stencils is friggin awesome lord knows change has been long over due. Now if someone would come up with a different control panel overlay that would kick ass. I think the Phoenix Arcade version is a ketchup mustard mess. I'd prefer something modeled more after Robotron/blue. The marquee I think is better off left an original Williams marquee designating the actual cabinet used also leaving some of the originality.

An alt Cpo design is in the works:D
but I do want to stress it wont be a "package deal" its the sales of the stencils
or other pieces within a game that help fund the other pieces. For I am but one mortal man.

and from the beginning post of course they match theyre both as deadly put it
ktchp and mustard, no offensive to those they may have created it but Im certainly more of a less is more approach
 
I though the original was too busy, so I made this one. Basically just deleted a bunch of stuff.

I am planning on swapping in a Joust bezel to match the marquee sometime. Cab is brown with a ostrich on the side.
