They fit fine, lithy. They are a little tighter than the standard minis, but they're not so tight as to annoying to insert or anything like that. Honestly, I like the thickness of your minis better than the thickness of the authentic SNK minis.

Agreed. They fit fine for me and i prefer the thicker material. They feel sturdier than the factory made minis. My only minor issue was with the image resolution, i felt that they werent quite as sharp as originals. But the layout /colors /translations are excellent. I'm still very pleased with them. Unfortunately for me i have very few friends who are into the Neo world. So nobody knows that SSVS didnt come with a MM and that mine is custom made.
Thanks Lithy!

BTW, i havent checked your MM images in a while but I'll have to look them over and pick 2 more out .

Just so people know I've been having some serious struggles with Kinkos printing my stuff lately as in, haven't been able to get anything done and I've tried just about every employee, heh. I'm looking around town for some other print shops or Kinkos to try.

Added my NITD to the first post gallery as I'm happy with it, I think NeoCverA might be working on one too.
I'd like to make that black generic mini sometime this week, if anyone has a high res version of the white generic mini they can get to me that'd be great.
I'd just like a Sengoku 3 and then this project will be essentially done for what I want it to have, though others are always free to contribute and I'll update the gallery accordingly if I have a high res PDF of the file.
Still looking to find a way to print these though

nice work lithy
I make sure to pick one up from you 
I have 2 or 3 marquees that I can scan, but they won't look that great, as they've faded with age.
Perhaps we can color correct them.
I need a few that I don't see here, either.
Do you folks know of another "high res" scan site of the mini marquees?
EDIT: I have the following:
1. A shattered
King of the Monsters marquee. I'll scan and try to digitally piece this together. Then, of course, recolor. Hope I still have all the pieces. EDIT - found low res scan.
2. Samurai Showdown 3 marquee. Color is terrible, BUT it's in one piece, so I can recolor. EDIT - found a high res scan.
3. Print of a scan: Bust A Move. I can use this as a reference scan to re-create. EDIT - found a high res scan.
4. Print of a scan: Aero Fighters 2. This one is so light, that it'll be hard to work with, but I'll try to re-create something worth while. EDIT - found a low rez scan.
Edit: I need scans of:
KoF 99 - EDIT - Found low res scan
Last Blade 2
Blazing Star - EDIT - found high res scan
Magical Drop II

This is a comparison shot of Puzzle Bobble. I've just taken a scan I found, and enhanced it as well as I could (quickly). I could do more with this, including pumping up the resolution, and maybe even clean up individual artifacts (and save as a non-compressed format).
Let me know if this is the type of stuff that belongs here, and I'll get to work either doing more of this... I also have a knack for taking really small scans and scaling them up, but it takes a long time.

There's some very nice work going on in this thread. I've been trying to find MM's for a whole bunch of my games as I've recently acquired a cabinet and a bunch of loose carts but no MM's. =( I find it surprising that there are archives all over for other art, inserts, and instructions scans, but it seems there are very few MM archvie sites. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places...
But, great work! I'll definitely have to see about ordering some...

Feel free to continue this type of stuff since my project kind of died when Kinko's became a bitch
There are a few places that have decent quality scans of mini marquees.

I know a couple people that have nice scans of the majority of mini marquees but it becomes nearly impossible to host them due to the bandwith it uses up, you'd be surprised how many people are constantly looking for mini marquee scans.

Problem is it would really have to be complete before we started circulating it, and that's just a hell of a lot of art. If you need a certain scan ask, most likely someone can get you it or point you in the right direction. Unfortunately until someone wants to front massive bandwith that's the easiest way to work things.
