@Slingshot99 I use crushed walnut shells in my Tumbler, you can buy bags of it from Amazon For the waterslide decals, I made them myself using GIMP and sent them to a company called Phoxy Print to print them off. As far as I'm aware you can't buy these decals for old EM's like this.

Appreciate that,thanks. Last Q. How big/what make is your tumbler?

 

[ronsplooter]

It's this one, but I did not pay that for it when I bought it (was 10 years ago though)

Excellent. Thanks

I'm calling the playfield done! I could keep messing with little bits for ages but it's never going to be a minter and it's loads better than it was when I got it and once the game is back together you'll not notice anyway

Before it was cleaned



Cleaned but before paint



All done

Nice job You’re right about pf painting there’s a tendency to keep on going but the fact is when you’re doing it you’re nose is an inch above it, when you’re playing you’re feet away and only you can see the repairs.

Everything is back in the lower cab, time to rebuild the playfield next Looking a lot cleaner and less rusty now!

 

[ronsplooter]

Underside of the playfield is all back together and I'm hoping to have the game finished ready this weekend and ready for play testing

 

[ronsplooter]

Top side of the playfield is almost finished so I did a quick test fit of the plastics and she's looking pretty good

Forgot to close out this thread when the game was done

[ronsplooter]

Nice job as usual mate. what glue are you using for inserts?

Thanks mate, it's a clearcoat called Ultimate Polyurethane by Varathane Easy to apply with a smaill brush but will see how it lasts over time as it's not super hard like an auto one.
