PAC MAN - Scratch Built Replica

[scr33n]

HI guys,

I'm here with a new project:

PAC MAN - Scratch Built Replica

After Galaga cab: https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=402.0

 it's time for another Namco's classic arcade.

My idea was to build a Nintendo Donkey Kong cab from scratch.... but to much problems with pieces (coin door, bezel, etc....) these are the three cab that I would, so

....it's PAC TIME 

already found pieces:




original 1980 control panel e coin door (need restorations) :



so... i'm almost ready, I need arts from Twobits and Marquee (already in custums here in Italy) and a little help from you guys and .... Bruno   

can you confirm me these measures?















Bruno I know that you're busy with your gameroom  , but no problem, when you have time.... thanks in advance

Ok, let me few days for the measures my friend, no problem

You are lucky, I'm testing my new VAIO laptop and network/wifi/internet access inside my game room. The Pac Man is just behind me, so here we go :

1. Oppss... the picture doesn't really see it, but it's a curve, all the way 

2. 61 mm

3. 463 mm

4. 840 mm

5. Ouch... it's a curve too, but at the bottom I would say 1712 mm

6. 338 mm

7. 186 mm

8. 1093 mm

9. 7 mm

10. not pictured ?

11. 70 mm

12. 22 mm

13. 80 mm

WOOOooooooooooooooooooooooWWWWWW!!!!!



Thanks !!! Thanks !!!! Very fast and accurate like always 

Sorry Bruno, for the first picture (marquee zone) I can say about 3 Cm more or less?

Ok .... as for the Galaga template I should correct some jukobud errors  ok no problems ..... let's go 


Thanks again Bruno !!!!!!

 

[DarthNuno]

No problem 

Ok, regarding the first picture, I would say approx :

35mm from the upper part of the marquee
37mm at the middle of the marquee
45mm at the lowest part of the marquee

Great Thank you !!!

Sorry Bruno, I've a doubt ..... 

the measure N.5 (1712 mm) is from the floor or from the base of the cab?



Thank you 

[DarthNuno]

the measure N.5 (1712 mm) is from the floor or from the base of the cab?

I think it's from the the base of the cab', not from the floor  But I'll check tomorrow once again (it's too cold this evening to go outside my house  ) 

[scr33n]

Ok thanks Bruno  ,

But I'll check tomorrow once again (it's too cold this evening to go outside my house  ) 

I can understand you, snow and cold here in northern Italy, I imagine in Belgium 

[DarthNuno]

I've just do it again  ... I would say 1712mm from the base of the cab, not from the floor, but once again, I cannot say it's an accurate value because the top is curved and my sizing tool is not easy to manipulate alone for such big measure 
Hope it can help 

[scr33n]

Perfect!!! 

Thanks

.... With new Bruno's measures I can start a new perfect  template:



Control panel test for right position:




Ok 








Ok.. next week will begin the serious work , MDF etc ....

Cool,
The CP placement was actually the toughest part of when I built my Pacman. Best of luck with yours!

[scr33n]

Yes Amadama you're right (CP zone is difficult  I will do my best) and thanks for support 

One question: where you bought the sideart and kickplate arts? From Twobit?

Thanks.
