Cabinet artwork

[mildflame]

Ok got a new machine, I love it!!! Doctor Who, one thing wrong with it, i'm not complaining i'm just wondering how do you paint a DM machine, I mean I know you get paints and apply it but isn't the cabinet printed and better off leaving, I mean i would hate to stuff it up! its not terably damaged just faded, soo?, what do I do and how? I think its scary!

That is licensed artwork. BBC won't give permission to either of the Williams licence holders. Very rare to find an unfaded cabinet.

I don't think so. But if you own a machine that requires new decals and you have the skills to recreate and print the art - then there is no problem !

Produce your own to fix your own machine/machines. 

If you dont want to go to that kind of effort, you can carefully airbrush and touchup all the faded colours no problem.

Dr Who is always faded, although I did see a machine recently, which had a original 120 games only, and the machine was Mint and fade free. Maybe the last one left like that for a million miles in all directions.

Maybe when the 2 licence holders start working together....

Quite a few people use Sharpie markers to re-do the colour and Dr Who is one of the easier ones with having a lot of straight lines.
Quite a few on RGP have used this method as well as on this group with great sucess. I did my TOTAN this way and it turned out pretty good in fact a few people even thought it had been re-decaled.

Thats one HUGE difference, Darren. There's a website where an IJ was done with a sharpie and a ruler. It looked incredibly good, but must have been painstakingly time consuming

Here it is

That guy is a genius! I guess thats the way to do it! i'll just have to wait until I am calm and not scared of stuffing up and just give it a try (it did say alcohol wil clean it off even when dry) Thanks alot guys, hopefully I can let you know how I go

Didn't think it could turn out as good as it did.
Wonder if that method would work with backglasses?

That TOTAN looks really good !

The IJ at the link looks bloody awful - I mean you can see the orange texta marks all through the orange 'sun-rays' - looks like a kids colouring book- sorry

Found this using glass paints the results are fantastic  its an option for one of the guys that are good at airbrushing

I am going to sound like a big stick in the mud here , I am just trying to add some facts from my own experience , others may have better success with this glass paint -  I also tried that EXACT glass paint on my Scared Stiff , Red & Green area's - ans it didnt blend very well at all and was very 'blotchy' and I can spot the same effect in this BR cab.

Whilst that BR cab looks a lot more colourful - take a look at the RED in the main cabinet diamond and lettering and you can see the blotching that occurs.
