Ms. Pac-man

Ms. Pac-man Yellow Finished

I’ll keep this short as I’ll go into more detail about the yellow stencil layer for my Ms. Pac-man when I continue the tutorial.

I spent just about all day (6+ Hours) working on this yellow artwork, and I am at the end of my rope. I had to have at least one side of the artwork to show, something to show for my day, so here is a photo of what the Ms. Pac kickplate looks like with the yellow laid down. (more…)


My Ms. Pac-man Stenciling Progress – 2nd Coat of Glidden Blue

Last night I talked a little bit about my priming experiences with my Ms. Pac-man cabinet. I had mentioned I had put down a pretty ugly first coat of Glidden blue.

I am proud enough of this second coat of blue on my Ms. Pac-man to show it off here today. Just got finished and really happy with a couple of things, mostly how well the second coat covered up my first thick streaky coat of the Glidden Rhapsody. (more…)

My Ms. Pac-man Stenciling Progress

Ever seen a set of Ms. Pac-man Stencils?

I was lucky enough a number of weeks back to acquire a set of Ms. Pac-man stencils from a private collector for a good price. Surprise surprise, they were waiting for me when I returned from Toronto this past weekend. These vinyl stencils are based off of Joymonkey’s (Paul Murphy) Ms. Pac-man .pdf file that was released to Local Arcade a number of months back.

I don’t remember the exact price Paul was offering to make these stencils for people, but it was at his cost hoping to attract a little less attention from the copyright police. But even at cost, a set of stencils to redo the artwork on a Ms. Pac-man cabinet is very expensive, and now you’ll see why. (more…)
