What a coincidence - I just reproduced a set of Moulin Rouge plastics, too! I scanned the originals (which were rough but not as toasty as your originals) and cleaned them up in Photoshop. I don't have access to a laser cutter or a direct to plastic printer. I cut and polished the plastic by hand. The images are printed on glossy photo paper with archival pigment inks (no fading in the lifetime of anyone alive today). The images are mounted to the underside of the plastics using optically clear film. A ton of work (especially preserving as much of the tiny details in Photoshop as I could), but rewarding as an overall experience.

Thanks for the kind words. Your plastics turned out really nice, too. My playfield actually started out in way worse condition than yours did in terms of dirt, worn paint and bare wood. Oh, and it didn't work either. Not at all. Dead as a doornail. I picked it up as part of a group of super cheap projects and figured it would be a good candidate to teach myself the basics of EM repair and restoration. I've been plugging away at it whenever I have free time for over six months to get to this point. I've learned a ton in the process with lots and lots of help from the great folks that abound here on pinside. Hopefully the next project goes smoother than this one with a less steep learning curve.

Got your pm. I'll get back to you in a few via pm with some answers.

My machine had nothing in the center when I got it. I saw the metal chevron cover in the ipdb pictures and decided to make a clear one. Imho it plays better with the chevron (less airball skips over the saucers).

I saw the graphics but decided I liked clear better. Mike_B might be able to make you a plastic more easily than I as I think he has access laser cutting and plastic printing equipment. PM me if I'm wrong and you really want me to make one. I totally get your enthusiasm. Moulin Rouge is a fun game!
