Hi Peter

I sent you a email but since you may be still having email issues here are some details.

I had a look at the files, and am no expert myself, I use to be an enthusiast many years ago on Corel but switched to a Mac and now just play with Illustrator from time to time.

This is what I found:
- overall a great file to start with but having never seen a F-14 in the flesh I can not confirm how accurate it is to the real thing.
- the scale of the cabinet is small compared to say the WH20 that I draw up as a green box shape to compare with. Send me the front height measurement, back height measurement, base length measurement and angle length measurement and then I can accurately scale up for you.
- the scale of the backbox is the other way with the design being bigger than the WH20 box shape (yes it is just the overall width and height - no angles but gives you a reference)
- there is no design for the left side only the right side of the cabinet - though not a big drama doing a mirror of "OMCA" and a few mods with the back graphics, as well as a flip with the F-14.
- who ever has drawn it has done well but also has taken a few short cuts as there are a few weird individual shape extensions so some cleaning up would be required.
- There is no graphic for the coin door panel but I reckon if you were to issue me some dimensions I think I could do this as well using the tomcat from the side graphics to the coin door
- Lastly the backbox rhs and lhs could use the same image but just mirrored (would have to confirm this as I just checked out the pinball database) - there are a few curves that don't look clean to me here and there so maybe a few photos could proof these.

Hope that helps
