I was recently after a missing part for my Operation thunder pin (launch plane models) and thought about replacing them with micro machines or something if I couldn't find the parts. That got me thinking, what other mods could I do to spice things up alittle or simple make it abit more interesting on the play field.

I have ordered a micro machines tank to go in there because all the drop targets are tanks and it makes a bit thing about them.

Has anyone got any ideas of what could be done to jazz it up alittle, seems to be lots of mods for the more favourable pins (T2, Theatre of magic etc) but nothing on OT.
 
Games with big production runs tend to get mod's add on's made for them because they will sell a lot. Lesser production runs don't tend to get mods made because there is not as much demand for them.
You go to town on it if thats your thing, nothing syopping you doing whatever you like.
Only thing I would say is make whatever you put onto the game reverseable just in case you sell and its not the taste of the new owner.
Have fun.
 
yeah i dont want anything permanent, just a few personal touches really :)
 
that sounds pretty cool, im sure there are loads of uses for that with Pins.

I ended up getting a diecast army tank and fitting it to the playfield, looks pretty good I think, very subtle but fits in with the theme nicely.WP_20131220_001.jpg
 
no I have made sure of that, its way above the playfield on perspex and nicely secured ;)
 
I was gonna clone it but then remembered that the TAF already has a cloud topper and even though I am tempted to remove it and mount the spooky mod, I really can't be ****d this close to xmas.

Hi Stan, they are game specific but the TZ and MB are compatible, they are probably compatible with other machines depending on plastic mount holes etc, will make a range next year, I have a stack of new stuff being released in 2014.

Any teasers for what's being released ?
 
There will be a lot of new products, not sure what gets priority yet but next year will see the largest release of new material to date if everything goes to plan, two new mods which will be available for the Terminator 2 first weeks of Jan will be a laser canon mod (complete unit), I have a working prototype and also a pair of colour changing laser etched ramp signs, again I have working prototypes, both these mods are very tasty indeed, I've had a stack of mods on the back burner for years, IJ propeller mod, IJ mini playfield lights, TZ glow in the dark mannequin and TZ slingshot flashers being some of the examples which recently made it to production stage, I am focusing on design rather than production in 2014 so it will be a year of converting all these ideas into working products.

Most of the titles in my collection apart from BOP, FH and Congo will be on the hit list, there will be some AFM stuff also which is long overdue.

I am officially Stern Free so there will be nothing new for Stern

Hi Paul, some trickle through but it's probably better as a platform to show works in progress or prototypes etc, I will try and dig out a few pics when I get a chance.
