    Here's a few pics of my the Firefly machine I've been building for a reeeeal long time. It runs Mission Pinball on a P3-Roc system. Many, many thanks to the fantastic communities supported by both Mission Pinball and Multimorphic, there's no way I would have made it this far without all the help they gave.

    The physical machine is 90% done. All the coils and lights are done, still need to put a couple switches on the ramps after I vacuum form some permanent ramps.
    The logic is 80ish% done. All the switches score points and 6 of the 9 main modes are complete. Still need to add a multiball and some general tweaking of callouts, dmd slides, and modes needs to be done.

    The main donor machine was a Big Guns. I stripped all the playfield elements and used many of them in my own layout. The rest were sold to fund the project.

    The artwork for the playfield and backglass were designed using GIMP and printed out at 40 Visuals is Spring Lake, MI (super cool place - I highly recommend them if you're looking for similar work to be done). The sideart was a stencil that I cut by hand.

    Here's a link to some gameplay:

    Looks awesome! Can’t tell it’s not a machine made by a real company. Fantastic job!

    Awesome homebrew! Those flippers look mega shallow, I bet it's a fun challenging table, amazing work and love the art you did in gimp!
