So nice to see this finally all complete. Restoring that playfield was a ridiculous amount of work, I won't lie, never doing that again.

Some other random things I remembered looking at the photos:

- The eyeball on the cyclops was hand painted on a white bulb condom, there's a red LED under it so it glows nice and angry when lit.

- When I repainted the skull cave it was pretty busted up, so I sculpted some new teeth with the ragged missing look, but the best thing I did was paint the inside with a chrome paint. It's super reflective inside now, when the green flasher inside goes off it really shines nicely.

Quoted from lb1:

Beautiful work.
Is Elvira painted white on the playfield before applying the waterslide decal?

Yes, I masked her off with frisket and laid down white before the decal went on.

Thanks for all your amazing artistic touches Aurich. And thanks for letting me talk you into selling her to me. At least we didn't let you down on finishing the job. I'll have to invite you over to play it.

Glad you're enjoying it!
