Quoted from Gotfrogs:Strike that! I requested to be on the list but now see that my husband beat me to it by 8 days. We don’t need 2 so disregard this post.
No probs! It's nice when you have so much in common with your partner

Count me in on the full building replacement as well when that happens. Sorry, I just love this mod and am really excited about it and the idea of the building being replaced!

Thanks so much, but we haven't started that list yet. When the time comes, I will let you know!
Quoted from Jackalwere:Hey Davey, in case my PM gets lost in your swamped inbox, please add me to the second run. Thanks!
Hey Brian, thanks again for the support. I'm managing to keep on top of the posts and PMs for the moment, but really its the calm before the storm while I wait for everything to arrive and do all the QA. Mid July is when its all going to go slightly bananas 
Quoted from Jackalwere:Unless the building surpasses it
New building!? How did I miss this news? Any more details available on this?
Quoted from Only_Pinball:New building!? How did I miss this news? Any more details available on this?
No details yet, other than it will be in the same style as this one, only larger to accommodate the whole right rear building (we'll be doing the others at the back too, in due course). We've been hashing out some rough plans, but my general feeling is to stick as close as possible to Yeti's designs, because they're freakin rad:
We'll probably have something ready to show toward the end of these runs. The new mod will probably have its own thread, which I'll link to in this one.
Got some ideas? Let us know! Can't promise that we'll use them, but you never know

Is this going to be a pro only mod?
Quoted from Only_Pinball:Is this going to be a pro only mod?
He's not talking about the building toy, but the ones across the back that have the light up signs. I believe this area is same on pro/pre/le.

Oh, yeah Duh! I haven't had enough coffee yet today. Thanks!
Quoted from Only_Pinball:Is this going to be a pro only mod?
No we're talking about the noodle bar building back right - same on the pro, prem and le. These are the ones we're looking to do
1. Tokyo Neon (Plastic 8 511-5930-08)
2. Noodle Bar (Right Building 511-5961-01)
3. Cinema (Is it tho?) (Back Panel 500-2560-00)
4. Subway (Left Ramp 500-2561-01)
The only one which will be prem/le only is #3 since that is only a decal on the pro, the fixing points don't exist on the backpanel, and the mod will have a big hole in it for the VUK. All the others will be for all versions.
Pretty sure Lior is doing a building mod for the middle Drake building, so might just let him focus on that one. But who knows

Cant wait! These will be awesome. I will make sure I keep an eye out so I can get on the list faster then the sign mod. (I think I am 217)

Yikes. Better apply for a loan now so I have the funds available!

Crazy idea and probably highly impractical, but I'd love to see a mod going the opposite direction in time. One of the cut scenes is of Godzilla destroying a distinctly Japanese castle... so go for a historic asian theme. Collapsing building change to a Japanese castle, other buildings change to traditional building styles, etc...

So the good thing about the printed artwork buildings is the lighting. The building in the image you shared is just one color, but its realistic because he added the highlights/shadows.On the other hand, just 3d print a building out of a single color resin/plastic it's going to be very flat because miniature scale objects don't have as dramatic reflection/shadows as real life objects. For the few people who know how to paint the the lighting effects, a good building sculpt can look great. Otherwise, it will just have a cheap look to it. The mezel mod building replacements use a few colors, but it still looks very flat and unrealistic (not trying to bash them, its a hard problem to solve).
Curious what your approach will be. Your sign doesn't have this problem really since its a thin bezel (although i will probably do some edge hightlighting and maybe some weathering effects on mine)
Happy I got in on the first run.
Can’t wait.
And now This to look forward to as the big picture ! Wow!
Fantastic. Very cool.
Very happy to see the demand too. Awesome.
“The calm before the storm” lol.
Figured I’d get this message in before you disappear into your genius lab ;P
Cheers

I actually dig the theater design from Mezel but agree that the other two sculpts seem flat. Opted just to do the signs instead but it would seem that was wasted money now too since these are likely to blow those away too!

This is really insightful, and something I have been giving a lot of thought to over the last few weeks. My prints up to this point have used PA12, which is great in the sense that it gives a really nice, slightly textured finish - however as you point out, can run the risk of being too flat and inorganic when used for a larger sculpt like the buildings. There are a couple of directions we could go with it, and will be reviewing those over the next few months, both in terms of the final result quality and what the cost implications of that might be (how far do you go?). As always, the main priority is to make sure that is sits nicely within the context of the game.
Really interested to see what painting effects you end up doing! My son has been dry brushing a few of my protos to give a weathering effect (he is just starting out with miniature painting So maybe you will give him some great ideas.

We just got our game a few weeks ago.
This is a must have.
Please put me on the second batch list please.
J85M and
Colywobbles fix up look sharp - time to do some beta testing!
Everything still on track for mid July at the moment. In the meantime I've been refining the code, ironing out a few niggles, and testing like crazy. Second run is filling up - still around 100 places left (out of 250). Absolutely incredible. I'm super happy, but at the same time laser focused on living up to that expectation.
Pinball is rad!

Wow even the packaging looks completly pro! Keep up the great work and look forward for all these post on the process. It’s fun to follow your process

Quoted from wywin:I'm convinced with the slick packaging and presentation. Put me in for the second run please!
Thanks fellas. I sampled about 5 different suppliers to arrive at these ones. Boxes were getting rejecting because they weren't black enough, or for having slightly wonky folds. Totally over the top and OCD I know, but it's the little things right.
Happy Friday!
For anyone who wants to get ahead of the game, here's a link to the documentation. If you see anything that is confusing, misspelled, borderline derogatory or historically revisionist, please speak up!

Just a note that some of the images still need to be changed to use the actual production boards, cables etc.
