Looking great skins. Keep with it. Here's a little motivation - this is the one I did this summer for a buddy.

I know what you mean. I've been trying to get a hold of twisted pins for literally months with no success.

How are you cutting the triangular blocks? I have to make a bunch of them for my Space Invaders.

Quoted from Skins:

Ripping 1x's lengthwise at a 45 degree angle on a table saw.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks!

Quoted from Skins:

Thanks for the info. If that's the case they need to reflect that on their web page and or not accept orders. I'm going to email them later this afternoon.

Good luck skins. I actually am a huge fan of Travis and Twisted Pins and they generally have great customer service. But he literally hasn't answered about six emails sent to him over the last three months. I honestly do hope he and his family are doing well.

Coming along nicely skins! Got my rails painted for the Mata Hari PF today, but the color is off - back to the Auto Paint store I go to get it corrected....Gotta love re-work.

Nice progress on your FG though!

Quoted from Skins:

Been awhile since I updated any progress. Cabinet stencils suck. Word to the wise; the ones twisted pins is selling are amateurish at best. Very f'ing disappointed. Probably going to have to start over once I source a better way to stencil it.
I switched gears and got the wire harness stripped. On to ultrasonic cleaning.

Yes - and Classic Arcades on eBay was MUCH worse. The cab we did ended up coming out very nicely -but only because we ad-libbed a LOT! Meaning we used bright lights to see outlines, exacto knives, masking tape - etc. VERY BIG PITA!

Looking forward to getting some of Pimp's stencils and trying them out.

Nice work Skins!

Looks great. What did you use to clean up the transformer plate?

#177 9 years ago

Also - did you clear the cab or is that just base coat? Thanks!

Looking good! Still got a long way to go on my Mata Hari. Unfortunately I don't have a shop or garage ot do the painting so that might have to wait until spring. I did receive my Caswell Nickel plating kit an can't wait to try that this weekend!

Thank you. Let me know how the kit works out. I have thought about buying one before.

Here you go skins - trial run came out awesome. Going to try one of the 4 bank drops next.

Way to go Skins! Very jealous. Mine is going much slower...Biggest issue for me is having a place to do the prep and paint work. Have all the tools - Just can't do it in my one car garage... And it's been too damned cold and nasty!
