New CPR Repro Artwork:
I finished the Artwork for the Skateball Playfield, Corvette Playfield, and the Strikes & Spares Backglass (note that on the S&S Backglass I have a couple of Color Layers Intentially "out of order" so that the graphics can be seen)....
Please Do Not Ask when these will be available as I have No Idea, I just finish the artwork & thought I would share with the community.....

Already a CPR Corvette playfield on ebay.......just kidding. Nice work. Any chance of a Jungle Lord glass?
Quoted from Lovef2k:Your contributions to the hobby are priceless! Kudos to you and CPR!!
AGREE 1000%
Thank you for the insane dedication, and for sharing the update!
Quoted from robx46:Wonder how she looks 35 years later?
Well, hopefully she hasn't aged a bit. But if she is bubbling, flaking, discolored, or broken... it looks ylike you can get a new model for minimal investment in the near future 
.
Quoted from Stu:about 2,000 hours for these 3 projects....
Stu,
Awesome work!
How do you decide which projects to work on?
J-
Thanks for your support guys, it's much appreciated......
Since there were 6,000 Jungle Lord machines made I would seriously consider the Backglass as a possible repro project IF someone was to step-up with an NOS Glass we can Scan and use for the artwork.....
Quoted from RustyLizard:Any chance of a Jungle Lord glass?
Keep an eye out for the Bad Cats Plastics to be released soon as they were just printed, we just need to Laser-Cut them. As for the Playfield, Inserts have already been ordered, so once we receive them we will get the CNC File started and move forward with the project....
Quoted from PinballManiac40:How about the Bad Cats playfield?
I monitor the forums, what people are looking for, I am in-touch with many collectors, and I'm in the APPL (34 members), as well as I get eMails Daily from people requesting us to do specific projects. I look at all of these factors, including the original production runs, as well as the availability of Source Donor materials and make decisions from there. I had a line on a Bally Rolling Stones NOS Playfield which the owner was going to send me, however, he had already taken a deposit on it from a buyer & buyer said NO to shipping it to me for repro purposes, so stuff like that really causes set-backs on projects (if not kills them completely). The Fireball PF project fell through due to the owner, so that killed the project.....What I'm finding lately is that people are really starting to get greedy with the source materials – they seem to want us to hand them the world just for the privlidge of "borrowing' their source materials. A couple years back people were falling all over themselves to step-up and help out, now they want to pay their mortage with compensation from CPR for letting us borrow their stuff....I'm learning who the bad apples are & trying to stay away from them. There are still some people out there that want to help out but finding those individules with the materials that we need is getting tougher by the day.....

Hey Stu
If I have anything you need, let me know. Happy to help.
Thanks for your contribution to the hobby.
Aaron
Thanks, but I have no idea of what you have....LOL....
Quoted from Goonie:If I have anything you need, let me know. Happy to help
No specific "date", but it will most likely be one of the next 5 glasses that we do. We already have the blank glass panels for the next 2 titles, then we'll order more glass cut to size for the next 3-4 titles which will include Diner.....
Quoted from shlockdoc:Is there a date on the diner back glass release
Quoted from Stu:Thanks, but I have no idea of what you have....LOL....
Sorry, figured you would thumb through my game registry here on Pinside. Click the number 15 right below my city...should you wish.

Excellent news on both points! Now to get PinballInc to hopefully make the ramps!
I have already spoken to James at PinballInc and both Phoebe & I had to track down the Original Part Numbers of the 2 Ramps (which we did do) and got that information to James a couple of years ago. James did let me know that he was able to track down the Molds for thes Ramps, so once we are ready to start production on the Playfield I'll get back in-touch with James and hopefully he can get the ball rolling on the ramps.....

I knew he had the molds from talking to him back in I think March. It will probably be more likely to happen though with the other parts coming together. Thanks for this news Stu, it's certainly great news. Still wish you had the BOP rights to get that PF done.
We "had" the licensing, but it was taken from us & given to another manufacturer 4 years ago....

Plastic set at least......PLEASE!!!!!
On another note, curious about whether CPR will do another run of Black Knight playfields in the future. Late to this hobby but possibly picking one of these machines up soon.
And excellent work on the art!
Kinda doubful as this title had to be run as 2 Separate Playfields and took twice the time as 1 title. With that kind of production time, materials, etc. we pretty much lost money on the project as it cost us Twice the cost of a single playfield yet we sold it at a Single Playfield price ( $600 ). "IF" we were to ever re-run this we would have to sell it at twice the price due to the production Costs involved in making it.....

Stu
Quoted from mario_1_up:And looking forward to the Bad Cats projects to be done
I regret passing on a Skateball many years ago. It's a beautiful game with a really unique layout.
Nice work, Stu.
Don't understand why the seafood wheel insert wasn't included, many are cracked at the screw holes. Thought this would have been a given.
Because the Seafood Wheel Plastic is Acrylic & a Different Thickness - it's twice the Thickness of our plastics PETg. We make our Plastics Sets from PETg (pretty much Unbreakable) but PETg is no good for Playfields like the Pin•Bot & BoP Mini Playfields, Sexy Girl Playfield Window, HH & BH Playfield Windows, etc....
Just like the Sexy Girl Playfield Window was included with the New Playfield the Seafood Widow will be included with the bad Cats Playfield......

That makes some sense, perhaps some extras will be available as well, just a thought. Thanks for the response.
As a no talent a$$ clown when it comes to graphics arts, I am quite thankful that the pinball community have people like you. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work!
Unrelated. I snuck in before the window closed on ordering the TOTAN playfields. I am hopefully CPR can make this happen.

I wish I had one to send you. I have NOS Jungle Lord playfields if you ever get that deep into the project. The glass is much needed along with Pharaoh. I will order my Bad Cats plastics tonight.
Thanks.
Thanks for all your work. There will be alot of revived machine with these playfields and plastics.
I am curious if you are currently working on Bally Wizard Playfield, and if so, how far along is the artwork?
PPS already did the Wizard! Playfield so CPR has no plans to do it since it's already been done....
Quoted from boogies:I am curious if you are currently working on Bally Wizard Playfield
Man, I just dropped all that coin for the Paragon backglass, and now I've got to send you guys more too!! Oh well, I need those Bad Cats plastics
Thanks so much for all the work! I've dabbled in graphic arts and printing, but can't imagine the work level that it takes for you to do what you do!
