Lazarian marque restoration?

[PaulSwan]

W O W ! 

[Etienne MacGyver]

Ideed WOW ! 

Looks great Mikonos, Muy Bien! 

Me gusta su trabajo mucho, pero, no es Vector ?

[Belike]

Fantastic job!!!

[PaulSwan]

To answer your question, yes, it's backlit. I checked the side art to see if the "grey" in the original should really be white and it is white on the side art. Would the marque have been grey-tint for the backlite, though, or it it just darkened over time?

I found this place that prints - anyone used it before?

Really is a fantastic job, Mikonos

Paul.

[Mikonos]

Thanks, guys!

Paul, white will be white in printed backlite paper. If you are using a white light-tube inside of your marquee, backlite never turned yellow.

White in "Lazarian Marquee" must be white. I don´t thinks it was grey in origin.

Are your side arts ok, Paul? I can restore it for free. I´m interested in Lazarian artworks.

I don´t Know emdkay printed artworks, but I know than he unknow how to restore his own material. He sell artworks without restoration, like gameongrafix. I thinks these stores needs management by an arcade artist. It is a pity!

The best service of printed artwork is, I think, REPROART: http://zonaarcade.forumcommunity.net/?f=5117210

I oversee all printed artwork of this service of Zona Arcade: Construye, Restaura y Decora tu Máquina Arcade y Pinball.

The are thousand of printed arcade pieces. Check it for quality! :-)

I recommend you print Lazarian Marquee in normal backlite (without adhesive). Check this document wrote by me for to learn how you can put this paper in marquee glass.

This is a normal backlite from REPROART of Galaxian Marquee:

Me gusta su trabajo mucho

¡Gracias! Veo que sabes que soy español (from Spain)

¿Conocías mi trabajo relacionado con el arte arcade antes de que mostrase algo en "Dragon´s Lair Fans Forums"?

no es Vector ?

No. Vectorizing, Etienne, in many cases, wreck original drawing and its imperfections .  

Vectorizing is not the solution in all cases of arcade piece restoration. Of Course, I use vectors in some cases for colorizing or redraw some curves lines, but not systematically.

I thing vectorizing  it is a big mistake some times. It is boring, mechanical and long to do besides. Restoring "Lazarian Marquee" takes me 4 hours, and, I think sincerely,  it is the best restoration possible. The original drawing is here.

By the way, I forgot a yellow bright in "Eye Enemy". It was correct! (check again miniatures in previous post).

Well, i knew this post :

I needed to ask my wife to translate, my comment was in the best spanish i know  

So thats why i know that you was a spanish speaker.

Its a small world  

Also some dude from klov send me a link to your shinobi work:

[Mikonos]

Your spanish was perfect! Maybe so formal. "Su" denotes respect. "Tu" (possessive determinative too)  is more informal.

Is your wife from Spain?


---------------------------------------------------------------

Its a small world

It seems!

I´m glad to exchange a few words with you. This is time!

Also some dude from klov send me a link to your shinobi work:

I remember so well this artwork. I tried to go beyond with this:

[PaulSwan]

Thanks for the info - do you mean this place?

http://www.reproart.com/

This one has also been recommended...

http://www.gameongrafix.com/

The EMDKAY one is suppsoed to be OK but very slow to deliver.

In terms of side art, it's mostly OK though has some scratches and a small section of spray paint. I'm not sure I have a means to scan the side art, currently

No, REPROART is a printed service from Zona Arcade forum. Don´t worry, I will send you a Reproart money estimation for Lazarian Marquee in backlite tomorrow.

If you will scan like marquee, (but do it at 600 dpi better), it is fne. I will do do rest.

2 of the most talented people on the same board. I'm pretty sure that this will lead to something tremendous.
with Mikonos and Etienne working together the world of arcade artwork will rise a new step.

Your spanish was perfect! Maybe so formal. "Su" denotes respect. "Tu" (possessive determinative too)  is more informal.

Is your wife from Spain?

Nope, she is from Costa Rica.
And the spanish there differs a little bit, there are words that they dont use there, but in spain they do.
one of them is "tu", they use "su" or "usted" if i remember correctly.

I´m glad to exchange a few words with you. This is time!

I am always here, so anything is possible if you ask me

I will check out the links, and i wish that my spanish was better, so i could join that forum also, but i do understand a bit whats going on.
My spanish is just not good enough to post there.. 

Nice to meet you anyway

Hey, someone should translate my Eurocade 2012 text and post it on that forum.....we don't have any Spanish visitors yet !

I don't really understand, is it a web-shop or a forum ? I see T-molding offered, some I've never seen in the US before...

Like this:


I +THINK+ the Italian built Centipede has this T-molding...

[PaulSwan]

Mikonos, if you don't mind when you get a price I'd like to offer them up on KLOV in case someone else also needs one.
Thanks,
Paul.

[Mikonos]

Hi Paul!

I just send you the money estimation for "Lazarian Marquee".

I'd like to offer them up on KLOV in case someone else also needs one.

Yes of couse! 


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Level42, This is a very rare and old T- Molding than I bought all stock available, because it is no longer manufactured.


 "Zona Arcade: Construye, Restaura y Decora tu Máquina Arcade y Pinball" y a fan arcade forum with sponsors than have theirs own forum for to sell in the bottom of Zona Arcade general forum. Maybe you need waste more time to know it, Think it will be a very important forum about this hobby.
