Welcome to violence: Horrorwood's papercraft arcade
Illustrator and papercraft creator Jack 'Horrorwood' Hankins has just debuted the second in his 'snake-eyes' series of DIY paper models -- paper shells with a 6-sided cube of faces to fit any mood. Of relevance here: his 1 Up model (pdf), a 'Mega Arcade 6-in-1" featuring sprite-ripped beat-em-up "Violence Fight."
If you dig his style, also roll back to his earlier Paper Demon diorama, based on some vaguely Chris-Ware-does-horror retro illustrations which aren't part of a game, but very well should be.

Hmmmm...
I love Mr Hankins other ("character") work,
but the arcade nut in me doesn't quite like this one.
For some reason, I'll go with boxified people/characters any day,
but I want my paper cabs to be... "realistic".
So it's back to Way of the Rodent's paper arcade for me.

Many thanks for the mention. Glad you liked the craft. I realise that the cabinet is not so realistic, but hopefully those screen grabs of classic fighters will make up for things. Aaah, those were the days...
