I like that idea; like they are climbing out of her cleavage. The interesting thing about that area of the playfield is that the nearby"boob" rings only line up when viewed from the player's position. Likewise, any artwork on the white cover needs to accomodate that POV.

Great idea!!

i believe it's spelled "bewb", lol.

The 2 screws heads to the right of the plastic wouldn't cover much but i'm guesstimating that the rivet head will end up smack dab on the brides head, perhaps a tad lower. It will be possible to shape the decal no worries, i just made them rectangular to start with but yeah, that rivet head is the hardest to get around for an image like that one.

I was thinking something along those lines also, had a google for images and there wasn't much that was very useful. It would probably work ok to scan/copy some of the astronauts off the playfield or plastics though
I will have another go at it later on today.

Another option could be just one larger astronaut pic, something like this perhaps?

Has anyone found a 3D translite?
I see the killer video from Mario:

But, I can't find one for sale. I keep bothering PPS, but no dice. If any of you have pull, help me find one. Hopefully, I can get one at Expo in Chicago next month.

Check out this thread and contact the OP to see where they are in production.

Geeez i forgot about doing some work on that design, sorry guys, been all over the place with various projects lately. I will try and get back to that really soon.

The ball lock cover sits above that area though, if anything it's left of center on her neck or just below that. If you look at the bride pic on the translite there's not a great deal of detail in that area so just scanning that particular area to marry with the translite pic and adding some little astronauts to it, well, it might look a bit weird.

So i got out the scanner today and unwrapped my BOP play field and scanned all the little astronauts and also all the astronauts on the translite as well. I also scanned the area on both playfield/translite about where the ball lock cover should relatively be. The attached 2 pics are a bit pixelly, wont be like this when it is reduced to decal size, you guys will get the idea though. As i suspected it will be a barren backdrop to add astronauts to but might be able to do something with it. Thought's on which of these backdrops to use, if not either of these What?

Sorry, yeah click on them they won't be so bloody huge

I had a go at adding some astronauts to that pic, the one's scanned from the translite, but i think it will just look out of place with the other playfield plastics. I spent about an hour fiddling and F%^%$%G around and in the end got the shits with it and deleted, lol.
I think it's gonna have to be done with the lesser detail astronauts scanned from the playfield and see what i can do with that. I just don't have the skills to create astronauts from scratch in paint.net program be bloody handy though.

I had a bit of spare time today and this is what i came up with for a first draft. Welcome to tell me it's crap And yeah i know it's ROUGH around the edges of the astronauts, i just did a basic one to start with and see how the images fit and decide on placement.
Thought's? Idea's?

They could be made larger, no worries about that. These are about the same scale as they are on the other plastics and playfield though.
Any other ideas for images MP? Just having the background alone might be a bit too bland.

You're plotting a light-up already aren't ya

Very decent .. the guy did a very nice overlay and protector instal 2 weeks prior.
Very clean fast and functional.

What do you have for a mod ?

Very nice and thank u.

I'm messing around with blue led bulbs in the back box.. since she is a chrome robot and the color arrangements are set up perfect for chroome..

The only thing that comes to my mind is hideous. But looking at the pinbot next to it, you have a hideous lighting theme going, so umm congrats?

It does look new, unfortunately the colors on the overlays are off, tnt has a video of a bop with an overlay...

why would someone go through all of the trouble of creating an overlay and just F up the colors, doesn't pps have some sort of quality control against that?

milltown has been on here over a year now. nothing he hasn't seen before .

The game is fine, the lighting is terrible.

I think being nice is better than just slamming someone for the effort they put into customizing the game to their liking. While I agree that using colored LEDs in the backglass isn't my taste, some people like it. And, for those that do it, this one is done well (I guess). Personally, I like cool whites for BoP.

White light is good, blue is not. I was being nice, you should have seen what I edited out.

Haha.. ok

Some people just suck. haha.. no worries on my end . As I stated i am messing around with bulbs. the robot gal is ment to be chrome . I simply enhanced the light source keeping the white light coming from the bottom. I've seen Purple and other colors used wich I simply do not like .but I would never talk shit about there game because they like it and that's what makes a difference.
Some folks are simply not happy people and feel good talking trash about others .
Hey and that's cool to.
My reply on things I don't lIke are .
Hey Not my thing but cool. If I say anything at all.
And I would have the same reply in person.
But like I said misreble basement dweller type folks love to run there mouths on forums.

Cool effect

Curious? How is that ? Why not ?

Aha.. gotcha .. very cool tho..

How do the leg light ups work ?? Wiring Wise?

Any other suggestions for the ball lock plastic decal? or should i just give up and drown myself in bourbon...... mind you pickled Aussie is not a good look, especially if i decide to wear my Borat green mankini
SERIOUSLY though...some idea input would be great about now!!

Hmmm not sure if i can do it that way in paint.net MP. When you add the astronauts you click on the picture, use the rectangle grab tool to highlight around the astronaut and then use "paste into new layer" to add to the background picture and then use the erase tool to go around the edges of the astronaut. In doing the erase part you are then regaining the covered over background. I know you can size the astronaut to what you want but as soon as you start the erase part i don't think you can then resize back again. It's gonna take a bit more fiddling and practice i think
