[[ Medisinyl Mods ]] -- TMNT Mod development thread

EDIT: Please post interest in the thread to help me keep track. When the mods become available, I'll make my list in the order interest is expressed here, and I'll send out PMs to see which mods you'd like at that time. Thank you!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

‐‐--------------------

Base pipe mod will be $65, + $9 for either (pink/green) ooze upgrade (the ooze also gets multiple coats of clear to help smooth it out and give it a slimier appearance).

‐---

Turtle selection bezel will be $35 ($30 if purchased with a pipe mod).

------

Burning building mod will be $199 (+ $9 for the painted pizza sign option). Purple tone will be default (blue can be made on request).

----

$15 Off base pricing if purchasing all three as a set. Or $5 off the building/pipe combo.
---

Shipping will start at $7.99 domestic and $24.99 international (for orders with the building, $11.99 domestic and $29.99 international--these may increase if actual cost proves to be higher after the first batch goes out).

I appreciate the response thus far.

Once I complete my mod set for TMNT, I'll make my list in the order interest is expressed here (amongst a few PMs I received beforehand). Easiest to keep interest in the thread for now.

At that time, I'll reach out to see which pieces of the set everyone wants.

For those that like to see the process, here's a couple earlier prototypes for fitment testing before the detailed model. Yes, they look pathetic

Sculpted version took the center ramp into account with a rubbled arch above the exit point. In general, I love big sculpts like the castle and village in BSD. I like seeing the ball disappear into a structure. That upper right area looked rather barren to me, and the visible switch was unsightly. I hoped for the building mod to address those factors, add some magic to the playfield, and perhaps bring some nostalgia to those that are fans of the arcade game (while I loved the TMNT cartoon as a kid, my greatest nostalgia is for the first two NES games and the first arcade game).

Note: This was designed around the premium/LE version, so I'm not certain how it will look in a Pro as of yet (I would have designed it a bit differently for a Pro). Hopefully I'll have some images in a Pro not long after release.

While Covid has made international shipments a longer process than usual, I do ship anywhere.

While I do have plans for that and a motorized technodrome (already prototyped the gearing out weeks ago), thus far, I've stayed away from mods that could infringe on IP, so I may be hesitant to sell them.

Purple toned test with matte finish on the top and satin at the face, which blends in better with the game lighting than the gloss. 20200716_222241 (resized).jpg

Currently testing this habitrail mod. It's intended to address the issue of balls flying off at that point. Was happening to us often, but so far so good since the install. Shall see.

EDIT: Did some significant abuse testing with the glass off, and it seems to be a confirmed fix

*Deleted* (meant to edit the previous post, but hit quote).

While I had questioned the right side, there's nowhere to tastefully add anything.

The available locations would either block the News plastic with Irma and the text, or the April Hurry Up insert if placed in front of the right ramp.

Unlike some mods, the left habitrail mod doesn't leave the right side looking barren (EDIT: It actually helps balance out the turtle selection plastic IMO).

The left side took into account 100% flipper visibility and visibility of the clear plastic to the left. Just obscures some of the drips on the plastic underneath and the training dummy art.

I mocked up pink and blue options in the program earlier and will likely offer pink and green (blue if there's demand for it--I only have the green and pink on hand).

All would be transparent (hard to tell in photos, but the green does have some transparency).

Though green ooze is also represented on the playfield outlanes, sling plastics, and inlane plastics.

The blue would be if some want to match the blue water from the lair plastics and such.

To look high quality and factory, I think it would be best tackled by someone that can have have a metal plaque laser cut and engraved, which isn't something I've invested in thus far.

Had addressed a couple of these in post #32 and #35:

As for an LED strip, there's likely room if someone wants to add one, but the game lighting does affect the ooze at times as is.

With all the TMNT hype for us lately, I decided to learn the song on guitar. Normally wouldn't post such a video to my Youtube channel, but it seems relevant enough to pinball for now

Not certain. I'm still juggling a long backlog of other orders, and may still offer more for TMNT before opening orders.

Also waiting on parts to arrive for the building mod (one package was ordered back in May with no tracking update since being handed over to the airline on 5/25).
