"Plastic canvas" is latticed plastic that you cover with wool or thread, like this:
I just found this fantastic arcade machine set, created by "plasticcanvascreations" over on eBay. You buy the pattern, you build 'em yourself. Sold for Barbie fans - because Barbie plays games too, you know!
Unbelievably cool.

I can even recognize the game from the middle picture just from the "screen shot". That's Donkey Kong Jr. And those are awesome.

Ack! And now I've made a silly out of myself. That's not Donkey Kong Jr, that's the original Donkey Kong, stage 3.

LOL! Stage 3, eh? Too cool :)

They take a few hours to make once you are familiar with them (or so I am told). I currently am ordering one of each and if I get the hang of it I'm going to make a bunch of them. I might even try to make my own designs for other arcade games.
I think it would be cool to see other mini games.. Tempest?! Tapper with the little beer tapper on it?!

These look so intricate! I'm going to attempt to make them. I just learned how to plastic canvas recently from my mom and I'm addicted to it now! I dont think these will be too difficult to make if I follow the pattern.
