Flip - a compact vpin machine...

Gilrock:
I kinda liked the first artwork version posted. I struggle liking almost every vpin build I see posted because I love what's in mine and I see others and feel like they are always missing some of the items that make a vpin awesome. For me its the sound and the force feedback otherwise you might as well be playing virtual pinball on a mame cab. Its great that everyone wants to have the newest design that's never been done but I liked copying a real machine. I have a car stereo system and all the bumpers and flippers have contactors that make the wood vibrate near your hands or wherever it would have on the real machine. And when I hit the saucer on Attack from Mars I have a shaker that vibrates the crap out of the machine. And the rear high power cree leds flashing is awesome. You need a full sized pinball cabinet to fit all those toys and the enclosure works as a great speaker cab for the 10" sub woofer.. I get a smile on my face every time I play it.

Well I it's been a while! I've mostly just poking at the edges of this thing - Doing little jobs here and there when I have half an hour.

I did receive my artwork however and I'm really liking it...

Couldn't wait(!) so put the sideart on the backbox

Easter holidays start at the end of the week though so hoping I get to spend some more time on it. Ideally I'd like to have the woodwork finished and artwork on just leaving the computer side of it left (my least favourite part!)

... and yeah there's a big splodge of paint on the black part of the 2nd image which I didn't realise until I was putting the sideart on which needs to be sanded and repainted :banghead:

Jimbo:
Looks great Mark, love the artwork! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. :cheers:

Cheers! Looks quite pink in photos but it's quite a deep red in person which I like. Kind of a new synth wave thing going on.

Must make a journey down your way at some point (post lockdown) to see your growing collection...!

DaOld Man:
Looks good.
About the nudge factor:
Could you modify the hinges to have outside bigger than the inside pins?
That way you could move bottom part back and forth a little. How do you plan to keep legs from folding back under during play, in case they are kicked. (May have already been answered, i scrolled through some of comments.)
