Stranger Things​

Alternate Season 3 Translite, V1D.

Backed by popular demand... Based on original artwork from season 3 poster. Notable features: multilayered print, backglass (real tempered glass), or translite, twinkling stars at the top, the inner part of the title is semi-transparent red and glows depending on the viewing angle.

Partially Illuminated Speaker Panels​

Twilight Zone is my first Speaker Panel illuminated by an electroluminescent sheet. The Speaker Panel is a remake of the original with specially designed black mask that allows for the illumination of the title and nothing else. The Speaker Panel is a 2 mm polycarbonate with direct digital print with multiple layers of ink. Electroluminescent panel it's attached to the back of it. Everything is connected to an inverter and from there to a power supply, which due to its wattage must be connected to the mains voltage coming from the power box. The final effect is an even illumination of the title. For other Speaker Panels I will think of something more creative.

Judge Dredd Backglass​

Here's a new backglass I did for Judge Dredd. The drawing was enlarged to 690 x 480 mm by drawing the missing artwork around the edges, and not by scaling anything. This is a direct to glass print. The glass is tempered and 4 mm thick. There are two layers of CMYK inks + two white layers that are at 50% around the edge of the Judge Dredd title making the red color really illuminate well. I kept it as original as possible.

Baywatch (Sega 1995)​

Alternate Translite V1A

Please let me know what you think... This is just an experiment. I've tried some retro colors and added blue to match the blue pinball cabinet. I plan on 2 delicate effects on the title logo and SEGA logo which are going to be visible when illuminated. I can still play around with colors and background. The center will stay the same as it is based on the original poster. I might also make selected stars twinkle by giving them some transparency.

This is a short video demonstrating the initial phase of a larger project that I am working on, which would allow to make changes to Williams/Bally WPC ROM files. One of the features would allow patching the lamp driver for use with LEDs. This version serves as a ROM validator. If you need to validate checksum of a WPC ROM, or if you'd like to extract some information from it, you can use this app on any platform, any operating system, any tablet, or a smartphone device and get it done without using the keyboard. If you have any ideas you'd like implemented - be sure to contact me via my website. The link to the tool is:


 
I am working on Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man Pinball (Bally, April 1982) "Speaker Panel" (Score Display Panel) and Backglass. Can someone provide me with precise measurements of the Score Display Panel and the location and sizes of all 5 score windows? I also need the exact dimensions of the Backglass. Any help would be highly appreciated.

When a help of an artist, I am redrawing Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man Pinball Backglass. I am also redoing the score displays panel.

I did this alternate of Iron Maiden Backglass per someone's request. I don't think it matches the pin, but it sure is one of the best album covers from IM.
