1) It's up to https://github.com/Widge-5 how to create the artwork. But yes, I recommended to base it on this .lay file.
2) It should

And thank you for the work that you put into this. You got the artwork setup, and due to the effort, the driver's now updated also. (Previously, the score was also not working on Bubble Trouble).
I had a similar idea... but never got around to doing it, so thank you for that!! Looking forward to trying it out later... looks great in the video.
(Sigh... no updates for 18 months now... I'm over-working myself at work.)

Quick update:
I noticed from another (japanese) YouTube video that the trapdoor and ship props behaved differently and realised that they were the opposite way around! It seems the guy in the original video I watched had them set up the wrong way in his cab.
I've just corrected this in the lay file on github and now the door opens whenever there's a flash there on screen, or ghosts enter or exit.

Thanks for the update. 
Seem like whatever was wrong on my end. It went away. Fully working now.

Great work there along with hap’s involvement as well and like Robbert, my thanks too.
It’s too bad that other game cabs use for more intricate interior artwork arrangements
such as Sega’s Space Tactics. If anyone were able to actually pull off Space Tactics artwork to be playable in
MAME, that would be equivalent of NFL Pitt Steeler’s 1973 ‘immaculate’ reception play.

Wanted to let you know that I further improved the Bubble Trouble artwork.
I came across a reasonably good quality photo of the Bubble Trouble diorama taken from outside of the cab. I was able to make up the scenery and props from this photo which has resulted in a much higher quality backdrop than in the earlier version which was captured from a video of a cab in operation.
I've also updated the scoreboard replacing all the PNGs of the scoreboard art and 7seg digits with faithful SVGs and laid it out to match how the PNGs were laid out for Golly Ghost. This should allow the scoreboard marquee to scale up nicely for anyone playing with a high-res display.
And thirdly, I included an alternate scoreboard layout which has the timer, scores and art at either side of the game screen to allow people playing on 16:9 screens to have the game as large as possible with the scoring and timer information still visible.
This version is up on github (version 3) and I've also put a short video on YouTube about the update with full playthrough featuring the new art.
https://github.com/Widge-5/bubbletr-mame-artwork
https://youtu.be/Bf_JKDRqcKA
I hope you all enjoy the new artwork.
Here's a picture comparing the old and new backdrop.

Nice!!
When you mentioned last time that you saw the video that showed you had the trap door wrong, I went looking for it, and I saw that pic, too. First thing I thought was "hey... I should send this to Widge," ... but then thought that might be rude.
And here you went and did it anyway.
Thanks again for your work on this... much appreciated.

I would have been ok with it. I love retro gaming and lightgun shooters in particular  so I'm happy to do anything I can to help improve things.
Speaking of which, the SVG scoreboard artwork should be compatible with Golly Ghost 1. I wondered if you wanted to incorporate that in the Golly Ghost artwork layout file, along with the alternative 16:9 layout. I didn't want to be rude and just do that without your approval.

Yup... planning on that.
I'm almost at the point at real-life work not taking up my entire day, where I'll be able to work on things here again (been 18 months now).
