Lots of interest in another run of Space Shuttle Ramps. Especially something that would compliment the color scheme. With the hard top playfield and reruns on playfield happpening in future demand of a few will sure arise.

I'm pretty sure Starship Fantasy is going to focus on what sells quick.
Ramps and forms no one is making anymore:
Space Shuttle Ramp
Grand Lizard Head
Grand Lizard Ramp
Bride Of Pinbot Helmet
What else?
There should be a list of Ramps & Parts no one will ever see. If someone doesn't step up.
We should have some HERO status on pinside of anyone who fills the gap in a public domain kinda way
that won't pisss off anyone.
We should be having Ramp Maker classes at all the Major Pinball fest.
I've done some research into this. The key problem is the amount of physical space you need to do this process.
For most of us that is a HUGE problem. I've played with some real small scale rigs at college decades ago.
Think that pretty much knocks most of us out of the game. If I could figure somewhere to store it I'd have
it set up. I guess underneath 6 games? That's where I'm at with storage now.
I've been trying to find a Makerspace in The Midwest that I could visit that would possibly have one of these.
- 3d printers ( no problem ) - CNC machines ( fairly common ) but you don't see to may of these Vacuum forming
machines around.
I wonder if there is another process in which to build ramps that are sturdy. I've been told 3d Printing is out.
Have you got a chance to do any work on the Space Shuttle Ramps? Consider me presold I just completed playfield restore and made the best of the situation with ramps. Cabinet is next up and I will be prepping that in weeks to come.
Love to see any teasers or help in anyway.
Hope your new heater is on the way. I think many of us would help crowdfund. Not sure it would get your there.
I would hope that some of the original molds still exist.
Does someone currently own the ramp molds to these original games?
Will they share them with you or let you copy them?
Regardless glad to see someone making this happen on their own steam.
We appreciate all the time your putting into this. Wish there
were a few others that could help jump into the fray.
If I had the space for the machine or home made rig I'd be in.
I've been hoping 3d printing would evolve to the point we could
print some of these. For now my focus is PF resto.
+1 for space shuttle! With the Hardtops out there the Ramp is the missing part for a lot of us. Transparent blue would be pretty cool.
Quoted from ruralcollector:+1 for a space shuttle ramp
Not sure how many of us are dying for Space Shuttle as they are unobtanium and all of us who've replaced
the Playfield or done Hardtop are left with the original fragile as glass one. I'd even go with a 2part ramp as
they are rather large.
On the Space Shuttle Ramps - How much would those cost? Sure we could get 8 or more folks I might buy an extra one or two if it becomes official and we are shy a few folks.
