He actually has 2 new pins in the work.  The first I know is going to be Tesla VS Edison themed pin as he is still working on the logo for it  The other I don't think he has said anything about yet.  For the second he could be just building 2 of the same machines.  Or one could be Tesla and the other could be Edison...  Not really sure, but I'm definitely following progress. Follow him on Twitter if you want to stay more up to date.  http://twitter.com/# (http://twitter.com/#)!/benheck

Ben actually sent me his .ai and photoshop files from Bill Paxton so I can do the digital re-creation in Visual Pinball.  Still need to get a couple more files from him before I can complete it...
