I have a couple of Donkey Kong cabinets to build and thought I'd document the process.
This is the artwork package I've put together, still a work in progress.
Donkey Kong UP Artwork
I already had a template from previous builds so I used that to make the side panels, the paint is water based enamel from Bunnings.
I got the first coat on today, there will be 3-4 coats applied with each panel sanded between coats.
The paint is applied with a spray gun and the paint is thinned with a 1:1 ratio of paint to water.
All the other panels have been CNC cut to save time and effort, the plans were based on the ones on classicarcadecabinets.com
I've done a run of 10 of the marquee brackets that have been reproduced by a local sheetmetal company.
I'm also currently waiting for a quote to come back to reproduce the original Nintendo Coin door.
