Title: Steampunk Pinball - completed tiny build
Post by: vcoleiro1 on October 10, 2012, 01:55:54 am: Just finished building a Scale sized working Steampunk Pinball machine which I have done a video on below:

Basically its made using 3mm mdf, varnished cedar stained siding, Aluminium and Brass sheeting, silver plated pins, copper piping, Brass spirit level, fob watch, micro buttons, Blutrol, hacked bluetooth keyboard and my iPod Touch. It runs Pinball HD, Pinball Arcade and Zen Pinball. The pinball table measures 7.2 cm wide x 12.1 cm deep and the machine stands 18 cm tall.

It also doubles as a Desk Clock and iPod touch/iPhone cradle

Anyway, let me know what you guys think

I'm thinking of doing a Micro racing sit down cab next, but I need motivation, who thinks it should be done?
