I was happy with the sculpt so moved on to try my hand at mold making and resin casting. After one failed mold (trying to do it as a single block) I tried again and found success, that stuff is cool! So I have this painted black but now I need to find a matching green... any suggestions?

The only reason you refuse delivery is if that coin door lock is not put on right! You know, viable and completely sensible reasons

I use brown (burnt umber) mixed with light green 50/50 for a base, then for the main color,
1 part brown,
2 parts light green,
2.5 parts yellow (Cadmium yellow medium hue),
half part neutral gray, and
.75 parts cream (unbleached titanium).
After that, I adjust the mix based on the dried outcome, do another coat with the fixed tone, then mix cream and yellow with the previous main mix to do some light accents (not too heavy as the factory stones are fairly monotone).

All Liquitex Basics acrylic paint. Topped with a few coats of matte clear.

Hope that can help at all. Took about 30 attempts to get that mix. Not sure if a store product exists with the exact color or not. If so, I'd like to know :p

I think these look great. My camera takes poor photos so forgive me.

If you don’t have pin stadiums the green pops big time. I keep my pinstadiums green or white (I think the game looks “creepier” green but it washes out the amazing art. So I switch between them. Crucify me as you wish)

I’m keeping my green plastic protectors on the game for what it’s worth.

I know some people aren’t high on pinstadiums but I love them on this game. The art is too good to not be illuminated (in whatever shade ya like )

Edit: didn’t know brakke had a vendetta against pinstadium going because he’s so upset by pinball marketing tactics. Sorry my man- just figured people would want to see the plastic protectors with different settings.

@Medisinyl, you sir are truly a gem!

There is never a shortage of members scanning through these forums looking to get something for themselves but there are only a small percentage who are as giving as you.

Among others, you and Steve gouveia (of the WOZ red smoke witch and flying monkey fame, answering questions about mold and resin creation) have been very open and giving of Information that has taken months or longer to prefect and both who are selling mods themselves. Many others would simply not share any of this information.

From a guy who is just hacking away trying to learn some of this art form, thank you both!

Any chance we'll be able to disable Match and get that time back between games? I disable match on all my games at home because it's on freeplay anyway!

Grrr! Danni just beat my high score...

Oh dear, I've got aways to go.

Saw Alice at the friggin' Grand Ole Opry on Sunday night. Was so damn cool at the start of the show hearing "Welcome to Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle"!

Option will be in next update

Thanks for sharing the pics! I love seeing lighting options - especially on ACNC.

Daaaang! Somebody's "kickin' ass and taking names" at your place!

Any Idea how soon next update will be?

Joined the club today!

Nice, but be keep your eye on those two flathead screws on the bottom. They aren't in the same position. Obviously not torqued equally. Contact Charlie asap before your machine blows up.

Freakin' still blows my mind!!! We've done much here in the last 6.5 years.... hard to top this particular little nod to the game from Alice's team.

Yeah... I smile a lot when Bug does that to me too! Darn kids!!!

I would imaging that's going to happen from time to time when your daughter is the number one ranked female player in the world!

WOW!!!

Just throwing an idea for a factory upgrade out there

Yeah ... but still the #2 in New Zealand.

Lol!

Not to mention Danni is one of the nicest girls you’ll ever meet! RD is pretty cool too.

Thanks boss!

The feeling is mutual - you guys were the most gracious hosts ever. A pleasure to visit you in Tennessee.

Very cool place ... Can’t wait to come back.

Played 113 for about 2hrs just now. Sam Adams Octoberfest is in stores again btw.

What a freakin awesome pin. Couple orbit combos during multi-ball ball one medium speed left orbit followed by ball two hauling ass with the game going crazy! Love this thing.

The Fire/Volcano Mod and Frankstein's Lab mod are now available.

The volcano effect moves and glows off the surrounding mountains with 36 LEDs (all facing the player) for a very cool effect. Production version has more detail on the right side (proto in the game and production version pictured with wiring).

Was hoping to be a bit cheaper on the lab, but each one is a significant project that takes many hours over multiple days. Hopefully some can see the value in it. Production version will use a mix of slow and fast diffused RGB lighting for the right side (my preference after many tests). Current video shows all fast bulbs without diffusion. Lab gauges are back-lit and have depth with a clear plastic window in front of the gauge images.

Will update my mod thread when I get more media ready, but the prototypes give a good idea of what to expect.

Loving this pin. Sounds, music, modes, artwork...fantastic. This is a true pinball players pin. Love that you have to control and plan your shots. So sweet when everything comes together. Congrats team Spooky!

Just added another couple videos (volcano mod from a little further out and the final RGB version of the Lab). One shows the RGB lighting on the right and one option for static lighting on the left (RGB is default as I think the animated lighting makes the lab look active, but let me know if you prefer static).

Much of the time, the Lab lighting will just be some moving red lighting with some green, but occasionally goes crazy with a bit of blue mixed in (as seen in the clip).

Also, here's a couple other pics from the mod thread. Separate parts for the lab (not couting wiring and materials), and a portion of some of the measurements/notes and such from the development stage (for those that like to see behind the scenes). Was a challenge to get all the angles right with the plastic cover at forward and right leaning angles from the backboard I needed to be parallel with.

Medisinyl ,
Home run, man. Ordered and really looking forward to seeing the effect in person. Really cool work.

Balls keep getting stuck here. Search doesn't release it.

20190811_085541 (resized).jpg

Search wouldn’t affect it, as it’s not a controlled gate. Could be the pitch or level. Or possibly the gate isn’t opening as freely as it should.

Got mine! This game is amazing and coin door screw is perfect

Changing the silicone rubber to a black rubber where the ball bounces once through the gate did the trick for our game. Only got the ball stuck once in the past month since changing it out. Good luck.

The ball was getting stuck there on my machine because the gate wouldn't open upwards far enough. I just had to pull the gate upwards with my hand a few millimeters, to make it open and close smoother.

Black rubber = increased residue on playfield

just sayin'

I'm having trouble with the switch for the second Frank lock. It seems like if I hit a perfect shot that loads the second ball very quickly it doesn't register (last night I hit it several times with a much slower shot and it never failed). Then the ball search takes literal days to raise Frank high enough to release the balls (gross). It sucks because the ball search takes so long, and you get robbed of the Frank MB. I haven't messed with adjusting the switch, but I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this problem. I also wanted to suggest to Charlie and the team adjusting the ball search to raise Frank all the way sooner. During the ball search he raises partially, but not enough to return the balls. It takes so long to for the ball search to release the balls when this happens that I typically just reset the game.

I would suggest lowering the strength of your upper flipper so it is just strong enough to make that ramp.

I have the same problem, curious to hear about a solution too.

What power do people have that upper flipper on? I have raised mine a little but still seems it takes a strong perfect shot to make that ramp so I was wanting to raise it more but I wonder what the sweet spot is?

I put mine up to 20.

Still trying to find the sweet spot for backhanding the left ramp without getting a bunch of airballs.

I'd have to check my settings, but I'm not sure the power levels are comparable from game to game. I have mine set so you need a nice solid and accurate shot to make the lock ramp. This also makes it easier to control the ball on the upper playfield, while still being able to backhand the guillotine ramp.

Just read through 600 posts to catch up here.
Feel like I should get a trophy made out of coin door latches.
STILL IN!

I had the lock not register a few times , I bent the switch up a little and that seems to help .Try making adjustments to your switch to make it a little more sensitive .Yeah it took too long for the ball search to raise frank , and losing the lock sucks .

I just checked, and my upper flipper is set to 14 ...

ACNC coil settings (resized).jpg

I haven't adjusted mine from the factory, but I'm not sure what it comes set at from the factory.

I hesitate to lower it because it's already pretty tough to make the shot. Less power is definitely going to make it ridiculously difficult.

I figured this was probably my best bet, but I haven't messed with it yet. I will give it a try.

If you're already struggling to get the ball up there and it's still not registering, then you definitely need to adjust that switch.

I agree that the switch likely needs the attention. I just don't want to lower the flipper strength and make the shot harder to make.

I did the same on mine after having that issue and it's been registering fine ever since.

I have my upper flipper strength slightly boosted from factory settings as well. No need to lower it.

The only adjustment I made to my factory settings is to increase the upper flipper to 20.

That’s a number Charlie recommended. I suggested that they should raise the default up. My machine is set a little higher, and 20 works well for me - you still need to hit the shot cleanly.

I’d suggest try 18-19-20 for machines at a standard 6.5 degrees.

Any recommendations on scoop adjustments? Mine has randomly started shooting all over the place very unpredictably

First try lowering the coil power a little ... see if that makes it better. Drop it back say 3-4 numbers and start from there ...
