Pic of the relays, i just need to order a 12v DC PSU to run them both.

Finally after all this time i have been able to drill the flipper button holes very nervous cuts as if i stuffed it up there would be no going back.

I have a member on another forum working on artwork for me and he presented me with this

What do you think?

Nice! The ball with the cape is a bit silly, but I get the joke

SpaceHedgehog · « **Reply #83 on:** April 18, 2010, 11:07:43 am »

I like it. Even the cloak and hair!

Kurt · « **Reply #84 on:** April 18, 2010, 09:04:04 pm »

It's growing on me more and more, add's character i think.

I like it dude, the art is very clean & the humor isnt something else I see in artwork very often so I say cheers

Are you going to paint the front of the machine to match the side art, or maybe have more graphics done for it to match?

Kurt · « **Reply #87 on:** April 30, 2010, 09:09:30 pm »

There will be front art to suit the sides also.

Damn that's coming out sweet! I'm definitely keeping an eye on this build!

I have a question that's probably been asked a bajillion times. Is it ok to keep the lcd on it's back like that? I ask because when I purchased mine the employee pretty much told me to treat it like it's a fabriche egg.

Kurt · « **Reply #91 on:** May 07, 2010, 04:26:24 am »

lcd's are pretty rugged no problem laying them down or with the vibrations.

Plasmas are the ones you can't lay down or it will bleed out.

I did not know that. Good info. Don't use Plasma for a pin cab playfield!

Another great pinball build! Fantastic work Kurt! I've just recently decided to build a virtual pinball and I'm looking to gather as much information from as many threads as possible. Yours will definitely be a resource!

Regarding the side art..there are a few things that I'm not a fan of and thought you'd want the additional input...

1) Have you ever looked at something one way and then always see it that way? (A little like the old 'is it a rabbit or a duck?' picture). To me, the pinball with cape and hair looks like a hole with a cape hanging out.

2) The people are pointing up, but 'Superpin' is to their right

3) How's that logo gonna look on the other side? Imagine the big 'S' closer to the flipper buttons, leading to the narrower 'n' toward the thicker back part of the cabinet.

4) I don't see the need for the additional 'Superpin' on the top.

Again, kudos on all your hard work that is obviously paying off!

wow didn't realize that.

plasma's are much heavier and use more power too (i guess also get hotter?)

shame really as plasma gives really great colour pop

Were you going to mount mercury switches to handle tilt and nudge, or did I see that on a different thread.

I picked up 3 of em for my cab, just trying to figure out exactly how I should mount them now....

I love those chrome flipper buttons, btw!

njay · « **Reply #97 on:** June 09, 2010, 08:54:09 am »

sorry to hijack

mount one facing left one facing right

and one facing towards you for front nudge

Kurt · « **Reply #100 on:** July 06, 2010, 02:16:34 am »

I figure this is where I come in... It's been a month, so we're all anxious to see if you've had any additional progress!

Kurt · « **Reply #102 on:** August 20, 2010, 07:59:27 pm »

Sadly no progress has been made as when the weather turned bleak so did the motivation, Hope to finish this off this summer when life slows down alittle.

XNIF · « **Reply #103 on:** August 21, 2010, 01:05:56 pm »

maybe your motivation comes back when you know you have a big fanbase. ppl like me just lurking around not saying anything in your thread but looking with envious eyes, and slowly and surely they drew their plans against us... err no sorry that was War of the worlds

some music for your motivation

JustMichael · « **Reply #104 on:** August 21, 2010, 03:28:08 pm »

Never saw pictures put with Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the Worlds before. Awesome 2cd set if you ask me.

how wide were those metal edges around your de-cased lcd?
