The control panel is komplete! Been really busy at work, but I'm gonna try and get the finishing touches done and finish up the project this weekend, so stay tuned!









 
I love it! All of it. But the white start buttons just don't look right. At least to me I feel they pull away from the overall feel. Maybe black 1 & 2 player buttons with orange rings?

The start buttons need to stand out I feel. I was going to do a poll of this color layout vs. the traditional MK color layout.
 
I do like the Black & Orange color layout but I really feel the start buttons stand out too much. Maybe a black ring around the white buttons then? IDK. I dig this whole build though.
 
When I said "black 1 & 2 player buttons with orange rings" I mean the black player buttons with the white people on them. That might be just enough to stand out but still go with the overall feel. Just a thought bud, not trying to bash your current layout.

No worries. I understand.

Got everything done today with the exception of setting up the controls (still waiting on the keyboard interface) and installing new locks. Otherwise, the project is done. When it's 100% done, I'll show everything in detail and how it's all set up and how it all works. So stay tuned!

Well, here it is. The finished product. Sorry there's not more light, but the machine isn't going inside the house. It's staying in the garage for now because it's going to end up in a very special place. Thanks to everyone for following the process. Stay tuned to see where this machine ends up!

I was browsing looking for some artwork for my next project and came across this post, figured I'd share my custom control panel I made.. it would look sick on this machine lol..
MK symbol, P1&P2 and eyes light up different colors..

@illz your photobucket pics aren't showing man. I had the same problem when I tried posting from that site, they charge you now I believe to post to third party sites. Lame I know....

MKT Arcade Cab is sweet.
