your going to have to paint the train tracks back on and seal it with something. Looks like for both greens. Looking good and good to see some early DE getting some love. Should probably get that playfield clearcoated. I'll do it, if you do all the touchups and get it ready for clearcoating.

graphics looking good. did you scan in the whole playfield or just the areas you needed to do?

if he has any parts left, he needs to redo his reassembly.

I hope your not going to strip the cabinet and do decals.

Quoted from Lonzo:

No. I do t plan on stripping the cabinet. Original artwork is in good enough shape. I will do some fixing and touch up on the blue and might try and fix the artwork.

that's a relief. Cabinet isn't bad at all and can easily be touched up. better to have a touched up original than new looking with shitty decals.

just hand paint it. that's what I do. Keep your paint thinner and once you clear again, you'll never know the difference between hand painted and airbrushed.

#37 10 years ago

I still free hand it. Most of the time the outside and inside of the ring are still there. or with little gaps that I can still free hand.

#39 10 years ago

if the ring is completely gone. then I pencil it out with the stencils. then free hand in the lines.

Quoted from exflexer:

This method is very noticeable.

not if you use high end brushes with very fine bristles and your paint is thin enough. Clear buries it no problem.

#57 10 years ago

that's the whole thing, you can't mask and airbrush the detail on the MM horse. It's funny you mention that. I'm doing a MM for someone right now. Just finished the damn horse like 3 days ago.

I always use 10% reducer on my final layer. Looks nice and flat when done that way. Long as you put it on thick enough.

I have seen people put the delorean model above the ramp. Looks really good and doesn't block view.
