Design Choices ....

So I have been drafting in SketchUp, this is what I have so far ......  Still need to do the bevels and the buttons on the side of the CP. 

weird ....

I ordered BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift and Marvel Vs Capcom 3 all in the same order, but only both BlazBlue's came .... burn.  Well here they are, and may I just say, crazy ass game! I really need to get this thing built, playing on your own is boring as hell!

The Bad comes with the Good ...

So bad news first, Semitsu buttons are going to take another 7 days longer roughly while the place I ordered them gets more stock, so more waiting ....  Still waiting for MvC3 and both BlazBlue's ... hmmmmmmm  Good news, my Kaiser Baas Digital photo frames came in and they are super thin and exactly what I wanted. 1 minor thing that bugs me (and might affect the final design) is that the image colours are distorted if the frames are sitting flat in front of the player controls. It needs to be tilted toward the player slightly for the colours to look good... so I don't know what I may have to do there yet.  The 8" LED digital frames displaying Akuma and Blanka's SSF4 Movelists. 

Little update:

Just placed an order with  http://in2amusements.com.au/  for the player 2 controls. This is just the same order placed previously, but without the single wire (as I have my own now).  Hopefully the bank deposit clears tonight for the digital photo frames, and I can get them in soon.  Next step, a structured drawing of the cabinet and pieces, and get a metal base made up.
