Mortal Kombat 4 Arcade Cabinet with Lithophane 3D print model

This piece is representative of the original Mortal Kombat 4 Arcade Cabinet.

Mortal Kombat 4 is the fourth main installment in the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games developed by Midway Games. Released to arcades in 1997, Mortal Kombat 4 is the first title from the series, and one of the first made by Midway overall, to use 3D computer graphics. It is also the last game of the series to have an arcade release.

The idea behind this project was to recreate this arcade cabinet by using lithophanes to act as the original vinyl panels.

This is a 2 piece set, composed of the arcade cabinet itself and it's base. I've shown an example in the pictures how we can light up this piece, but take into consideration that we can use the light according to your own creativity (different colors, intensity, position, etc.).

Behind the piece you will find a small hole just in case you want to use a light source with a cord (e.g. LED strip).
