@erik: we do have a perfect vector file of the european cpo, we just don't have the correct colors!!!

[jcp]

Superully, about the vector file : you have the cabaret version too ?

[Mikonos]

If you send me a a scans (bad scans even), I would repro with enough fidelity your centipede control panel. I only have USA  cpo version.

OK, I though that some parts of the artwork were not yet 100%. Thanks for informing me.  I know that Rich is/was working on the colors, and I tried to contact him a few times about it the last few months, but he doesn´t respond to it.

In fact I asked him to just sell me a CPO, I don´t care if the colors are somewhat off, everything is better than no CPO at all.

Weird that Rich doesn't respond, maybe you got caught in his spam filter ? This has happened to me with other US addresses I mailed too...for some reasons sometimes providers block European providers completely.

Try PM him on KLOV or maybe even here, think he has account here... not sure if he checks in often though....

I ordered mine from http://www.gameongrafix.com/ but it looks like he took down the file after someone complaining about it.........................next time maybe first get a perfect file and then start complaining.........

I have PM-ed Rich at KLOV, but also no response, i guess he is rather busy, because normally he responds messages withing 2 days orso..

I finished to restore "Strider Side Art" (CAPCOM). It was a very, very dusty piece.

- I cleaned dust form scan one by one.
- I repainted some zones.
- I redid all background and stars. Now it is a perfect blur space background. It is very exact to the original.
- All texts have been redid.
- No blur effect over the main drawing.

It is the best I can do, although it was a very very bad scan.

Looking Very Nice. Great Job!
Im still seeking for the perfect scanner.
Almost there, I have narrowed it down to 3 scanners.

[Mikonos]

Thanks, Biomech011!

When I got all components for this control panel, I built it. I did many manufacturings: metacrilate cover (I cut and bent it too), more buttons, new screws, new sticks and buttons. This is result:

Hey guys, I was at Rich's shop last week. The guy is super swamped. He's got tons of orders right now. Only 2 people run that place. Rich & his wife. He's working on a tall order for the CAX show coming at the end of this month. He's designing & printing multiple shirts for the show & trying to complete the online orders. I feel bad, the guy is doing all that he can alone. He'll get back to you. It maybe awhile, but he should get back to you.

I can tell you this! The art you get from him is dead on detailed. Most of it is silked screened. His shop is insane. I got a better feeling knowing how the art is created at his place. My personal opinion, I'll never buy from Game on graphix. And guys, remember. You don't rush art. Right?

[level42]

The problem is that the European market is very small to do a screened run of Centipede Irish color CPO's so Rich will (would?) probably do them in inkjet too, just like Gamegraphx. And consider "we" are already waiting for what 3 years or so ?

I can fully understand this is not on top of Rich's list because of this. Rich rocks, I've had a lot of e-mails going between us during the "finishing touches" of the Galaxian CPO. Would sure like to meet him one day.

I know site for inkjet in Spain. I do many  SilkScreen arcade pieces last year, in special for marquee. The result is beautiful:
