The first 5 pages cover the development and the following pages cover peoples reviews or any updates.
The Development:
This is a mod that has been in my head for a while, and was made but needed a paint up and was finally finished today structurally though still needs a little bit of electrical "plug and play" work done as well as 2 decals completed - one for the top and one for the FILM over the scoop. I 3D printed this at home but when these become available these will be made overseas and hand painted and fitted with all the pieces required allowing a simple plug and plug system.
The decals will be similar to the original to keep with the look and the dome on top will be a choice between red or purple and for the el wire there will be a choice of white or pink.
The mod is reversible so your game can be returned to original very easily and quickly without any permanent changes.
For me I felt this mod captures the graphic of the snack bar building which is on the playfield and now adds that cool retro neon look of the era to the game.
For anyone interested let me know as when I get parts made the more people interested the cheaper I can make the parts and then I can finalise a price.
Some decal mock ups coming soon, thanks for looking.
