That was a ‘fun’ project that was requested from a collector friend in PA. However, it wasn’t a contract job, and I never did composite all of the separate Glob character vector traces I had into something really killer for artwork to be stenciled on the kickplate.

His request really turned me onto the game, The Glob is mega fun, so I do intend to finish that artwork at some time. But as of this writing, I need to take on projects that pay the bills first and I have plenty of those. If someone wants to see the kickplate conversion artwork finished, certainly I’d take some ‘wheel greesing’, but I don’t have any immediately plans this year to finish this artwork.

I’ve never seen a Glob overlay

I had a hard enough time drumming up a high resolution image of both the bezel and the marquee, I didn’t even know that a control panel overlay for a Glob conversion existed.

I worked with Preston on the Gunsmoke control panel artwork reproductions, hopefully I can get some scans of the artwork from him. I would love to have all the pieces to help me accurately get ideas to design the kickplate artwork.

I would guess that this kit is worth at least $200 to the right individual, and I know at least 2 other interested people, not including the interest that has been indicated on the forums already. But Preston has said he’ll hang onto it, and he should. A complete NOS Glob conversion kit doesn’t come up very often, with two pieces of sideart, a bezel, a marquee, a control panel overlay and other pieces this is a unique find that I wouldn’t be able to put a price on myself. If this Glob kit was mine, I would never sell it the money just isn’t worth it.

~Note / Update: The measurements I took for the bottom portion range anywhere from 18 & 5/16″ to 18 & 8/16″. I actually measured 18.375, but the total top to bottom measurement I took didn’t agree with the total added measurement of all of the objects.

For this case, I think that fraction of an inch won’t make a difference, I won’t put important artwork at the bottom. But for your own uses you might want to keep that in mind, especially if you would build your own Midway cab.

I need to find already made measurements (ideal) or take my own and mock up the dimensions of the kickplate of a Pac-man machine. Then I can start laying down the characters, making sure the colors are consistent, and compose some sort of design.

I think I will need some better photos to work from of The Glob, but he isn’t that complex so I wouldn’t be surprised if I could get him cranked out pretty quick and be onto making the custom kickplate artwork, the fun part.

I had never heard of the game, so I took a look at some photos.  I would like to try playing it, the artwork is kind of strange looking though. Not sure if I would classify it as appealing.

I will probably work on The Glob himself next.
