Today I worked on......

Making a Stranger Things shooter rod.

D20 purple sparkle dice (Amazon)

Despite reading reports of shooter rod ends being tricky to remove a small amount of hammer & chisel persuasion worked perfectly.

Carefully drilled into dice (into #8 so #11 is at the front 😉), epoxy resin rod & washer in place. Really pleased with how it’s come out, just waiting on clear coat spray to finish it off 👍

I installed some Side Armour and Mirror Blades on my Stern Jurassic Park; I love the effect.
Side Armour from CabCustom is a great seller. (It was nice that they offer a customised look/option, and it's a lot better value than the Stern version. Great quality!
Mirror Blades from @Silverpaolo excellent quality and communication. I was initially worried about the installation, but fortunately, it was quite simple to install, and I believe the result is outstanding.

They look fabulous mate !
 
Fish tales belt broke.

Was about to order one when i remember i had a reel of green TPU laying about. So printed a new one instead :)

Tension of the TPU felt very close to the proper belt and so far working perfectly. Lets see how it holds up!.

Worked on more custom Wick stuff today, and last week added some more videos to Iron man.

Massive mods here with an install time of hours (actually tiny mods that took seconds to fit 😜)
Demogorgon & Dustins cap to dress up the plastic heavy corner of Stranger Things

Been busy restoring a Twilight Zone 100% sp trip down and a new playfield.
It’s really starting to come together.
I rumbled the power ball as it looked terrible and it came out like new, I don’t know if anyone has posted this before but I thought it was a good tip.
I’ve added some photos 😀
I’ve had one in the past and I’ve regretted letting it go (and my Creech!), so I’m going all out on this one and it will be going nowhere.

Most of the playfield is now back together, I’ve spent ALOT of time working on the mini playfield this weekend.
Complete playfield swap, new switches mod which looks a lot tidier (really fiddly), new street lamp, arrow for gum ball lane, playfield cliffys (they came with the machine when I brought it - I didn’t know they were a thing!) and the camera mod.
Really pleased with the finished item 😎

If you've ever considered a Pinsound card, but thought it only worked for licensed/film music, this is AFM with Pinsound and an alternative sound track (the original sound had gone on the blink).

View attachment IMG_0149.MOV

It's pretty 'Independence Day/B-Movie dramatic', especially during the saucer battles, and EXTREMELY loud (even though I turned the volume down).
