Sam J Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Im looking for Shinobi artwork for a dedicated cab. As far as I can tell, Shinobi (along with Altered Beast, Golden Axe and others on SEGA system 16 setup) came out as an conversion pack for existing cabs. Correct me if Im wrong, but it looks like you would get the game board, Marquee, Generic blue SEGA CPO, side art for cab, a chrome sticker pack (with labels for controls) and a bunch of mounting hardware and a conversion harness. Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to reproduce the Marquee, side art and blue SEGA CPO, but it's the chrome (silver metallic?? not sure) stickers are gonna be the hard part. Appreciate anyone with any leads on these stickers…. NOS or repro is fine Here's some expensive NOS stickers from an old ebay ad….. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shinobi-NOS-Control-Panel-Overlay-Moves-sheet-CPO-Arcade-Instructions-Sticker-/271923037726?nma=true&si=hx%252B5MQcA8jSNWFpN%252BJkTKQAEO4c%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Thanks for any help!

MamePatrol Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 They can be done, but won't be cheap! That printable chrome is some of the most expensive vinyl available. From memory, it's over $300 a lineal metre, printed. (plus we would have to try and find a nice print file, or create one) It does print like a dream though. Here is some New Net City side art I printed on it - http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx238/mamepatrol/20150529_151701s.jpg http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx238/mamepatrol/20150529_151652s.jpg http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx238/mamepatrol/20150529_151633s.jpg As for sideart, marquee, bezel etc. This can all be done on standard material, and I have the files for those. :) Final note - It can be done, 100% but it won't be cheap. lol.

Sam J Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Cheers for the info Carson. Great to hear you have some of the artwork already. Should have expected that really! Might just get the side art, marquee, bezel and CPO and have a think on the chrome stickers…. doubt there'd be NOS chrome stickers in Aus. Probably just end up going silver or white instead, maybe even layered into the CPO art. I'll be in touch when back home next week (working in FNQ). I know its a needle in a haystack situation, but if anyone spots some NOS stickers like the ebay link above, Id really appreciate a headsup. Also….. can't we just use a magnet to find a needle in a haystack :unsure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ill have a look this weekend, but I might have a CPO we could scan? I have some NOS Shinobi art, i know i have side art, but cant recall what else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ok, couldn't fight the intrigue. Here's what I have: No cpo stickers :( The side art seems to be on the chrome vinyl too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamePatrol Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yep, sure is! I didn't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam J Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Neither had I in pictures, but I could have been looking at repro art, and I guess you have to get the right angle to tell it's chrome. Really appreciate the pictures @Woody The 2nd picture is the Marquee right? Only ask as Ive seen 2 or 3 variations of that as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Sam, that is the CPO. :) I have also been pointed to a fella from the DL forums who does the aluminium/chrome decals. He has the art file for the buttons, joysticks, player buttons. No instructions though. However, I have a pretty high res image of them and they look pretty easy to trace so i'll fire up inkscape and get to it. I'll get a set from Etienne, did you want a set at the same time to save shipping? Not sure on the price yet. Carson, do you have the CPO i have? I can send it to you if not so you can scan it? I'll be up for a Marquee too at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonlee Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I got these done by @MamePatrol which he might alter the design with changing from sonic to Shinobi.. Hopefully i will have a chance in the next couple of weeks to install them on woody cab which are made for..:lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely scan it, and I'd say it will vector pretty nice too. :) I have the marquee, bezel and side art already on file. Cheers. Just a note - If you're getting chrome/aluminum printed, make sure the media is CAST. There is a heap of cheap chrome out there (because the good stuff is dear as poison) and it will curl, shrink and fall off. Trust me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam J Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Was this a CPO from Aus? Looks cool! All the ones I saw in my research were generic Blue CPO with SEGA on the front face, then chrome stickers for around the control and buttons. I have another mate with an old Shinobi cab I haven't seen, so I might just ask him to send some photos just out of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Drew up the instructions in inkscape. The grey area is where the chrome would be viable. Not sure on the pinky-orange highlight colour though. It is very hard to tell what it should be as the original was very faded. Also, the font isn't a perfect match, it took a long time to find one this close though, so i think it will be fine ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R64 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hey just a note that the bezel is on chrome too. I have a full set, my CPO though is a custom job (from Fizgig on KLOV). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I remember his Shinobi, very nice. Shame he deleted all the images when he left KLOV. Has he popped up somewhere else? I liked his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam J Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 So side art, CPO stickers and Bezel all chrome….. this may get quite expensive :( Carson - when you say the good chrome vinyl is 300 per lineal meter, what is a typical width? I feel like Id be looking at least 1 meter per side (if its wide enough) plus another meter for bezel with sticker cut out of bezel centre. If its $900 before printing….. my generic cab that Shinobi came in doesn't deserve that. Might need a rethink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R64 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 The art does come up now and again on ebay USA and KLOV, you just gotta search regularly. That being said you could probably tetris some of the bits together in the design before printing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam J Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Im thinking maybe I should just get the Marquee and CPO repro in the short term (non chrome bits), and be patient to work out the rest @R64 As you say, I could probably tetris 2 or 3 CPO control and instruction sticker packs out of the bezel void, although the side art is 2 big solid prints. I really appreciate people sharing though. @Woody @Kaizen you've been a huge help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 You could always go a bit custom. It was only ever a kit anyway. Don't go chrome, substitute the chrome areas for red, yellow, blue, etc.... Could look pretty neat. Pretty sure I won't be shelling out big money for a chrome bezel.

Sam J Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Until a couple of days ago I thought only the controls stickers were chrome anyway :lol Im pretty ok with the chrome on side art and bezel being white… I think haha The cab I have it in is a great shape for it, but its not like its a SEGA cab that has to be a perfect restore. Im just a big fan of "doing things right" so it takes me while to adjust…. haven't played the game for years, so I should focus on repairing the Nanao monitor chassis (vert collapse - thanks for the help with that @taito) and make sure the game board is all good first!

R64 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 How big is the space on your cab? This one's trimmed to 23"x19" http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/371357851417 I tell you KLOV would be the place to post a wanted ad. I've had peeps ping me between the same day and 9 months later with crazy hard to find stuff at a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam J Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Good point. Ive searched Klov plenty, but never put a wanted ad. Im not in a huge hurry, so nothing to lose right!? I guess I saw a NOS chrome sticker pack was over $100 delivered on ebay for only the button and instruction labels (was missing joystick chrome ninja star - see first post link) and was just put off the idea. I have to remember ebay is stupid when it comes to "rare" items ha ha - - - Updated - - - Oh yeah and I saw that Bezel on ebay the other day, but Im in FNQ and my cabs in Melb so can't check till home. Not sure if I could deal with the top left damage either - probably prefer a clean non chrome repro, than damaged original. My plexi for over the bezel is a gross orange tint full of ciggie burns too, so there's a lot I have to consider. Anyone have any good recommendations for perspex in Melbourne?
