retro arcade machines

[MuleSkinner]

hi all, thought i'd share a link to a site i just found that has some excellent arcade machines to print out and make for everyone who has an arcade in their zombie towns.
they just need reducing in size but still have excellent detail.........check them out 
here's the link

That's a really fun link, thanks! But if only they had Joust! My favorite game from the day. Does anyone know the best way to go about reducing them? As far as the percentage of reduction to make them scale with 28mm? I don't do any moderns in 28mm, or anything I could use them for but I feel a need to make some anyway.

@supergibbon i used a program called irfanview to reduce them.
just rightclick on the image file and open with irfanview, then click on image at the top, scroll down to resize/resample, set to 25% of original size then save as whatever.print.hope this helps.

[Super_Gibbon]

25% is the way to go then. I can resize them in a number of appilcations. Thanks!

[MuleSkinner]

25% is what i reduced them to and they look fine stood next to my roadkill figures, maybe a fraction oversized but not noticibly in my opinion, anyways i'm only using them as gaming props not for a museum diorama so what the hell 

[Super_Gibbon]

Sounds good. I'm not one to fret over size over much. Do you have any photos of your models with them? I just wanted to oggle.

I might make one full size with some thicker card to adorn the desk.

I think my printer needs ink. Insert stream of profanity here.

So cool!! 

Think I'll have to print one out to go with my skateboarding snotlings! If only there was a WH40K Dawn of War one....

Better yet a Tekken one  Can I really be bothered to try and make one in Photoshop..... Hmmmm the temptation!!

[MuleSkinner]

as soon as i get my digicam back from my dad i'll try and get some pics up.
spent tonight scouring the intraweb for a pinball table to go with the arcade machines, or maybe an air hockey table.........god i've started something now 
wonder if any companies make a big issue seller figure, no self respecting arcade is complete without one standing outside

If you find anything good in regards to the air hockey table, or pool table. Be sure to let me- us know .
