Spider-Man, The Amazing
Gottlieb, 1980Quoted from Colsond3:Move closer!!
The webbing on this game (ironically) is a little tough. Much more plentiful and prominent than the light or “background” splattering that you see on EM games.[quoted image][quoted image]
Just a matter or gun adjustment and making extra passes.
Quoted from bssbllr:What about paint dripping really lightly off a brush with a fan blowing it. Maybe see how it looks on a scrap piece.
I tried something similar to that on a game a few years ago, and it was splattering a bit much once it hit the cabinet.
Quoted from Colsond3:The webbing on this game (ironically) is a little tough.
It’s a tough one but guess what??? I have all the confidence in the world that you will get it right. I’ve said it before. 
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Curious.... why Bondo and not wood filler?
What you use on the sides doesn’t particularly matter, but I usually use this, and then reinforce the corners with either fiberglass or JB Weld. Much stronger and much more durable.
In my experience, if you use straight wood filler or just Bondo on the corners and it gets hit or bumped with any force, the whole piece will chunk or break right off.

Good to know.
Thanks!
Quoted from Leveeger:Well, personnaly I prefer Car body filler, but I'm convinced Resin (as told by VID1900) is a great solution... I just have to mind about the formwork to obtain fine angles... If ya got tips?
When using resin or fiberglass, I usually just use double-sided tape. You can get a roughly good 90° angle, then peel off the tape and just sand lightly to make it as square as possible.
Been mulling this over for a bit now. This cab is a little rough, so I’m going to repaint it. All the powdered metal and cleared PF came out fantastic, so I don’t want to reassemble in a half-assed touched up cabinet.
It has too many divots and scrapes in it, and has way too much discoloring/yellowing in the gray anyway to just to try to touch it up. I guess we’ll see how good I can replicate that webbing now.
Going to scan, but making a paper stencil for backup and sizing. Red first. Lines can be rough, I’ll straighten them up with a level before I cut.

Quoted from BorgDog:look forward to seeing your web slinging skills.
Your Alien Star came out awesome. Seeing that may have nudged me to repaint this.
Wish they had a stencil kit for Spidey...but no luck. Twisted Pins made some years ago that Ministry sold, but apparently they were horrible anyway. Art isn’t too complicated on this one though...so it shouldn’t be hard.
Loving it ! I used to have one of these years ago ( just players condition ) and miss it . Looking good ! Also lovin’ the nice looking Superman back there - someday .

Nice...that was the last project. Came out real good.

Got most of it done, but fell two lane guides and a few post screws short. 
Not putting the new plastic set on until the playfield is in the cab.

what's the one odd-ball drop target? that does remind me I need to get some new spidey drops, I have a couple odd balls still from the prior owner. I'm guessing you haven't swapped those out yet... or do you have another surprise for us???

Marco has the web drops on backorder, but I was actually debating on doing something more custom. What you see there are the oddball ones left in by previous owner on mine as well.

I actually have a set of 3 that I would ship to you if you’d like.
A little off subject but I think you would appreciate it. Herman Edwards graduated from my high school and actually knew my step dad and mother in law. He used to run a football camp at the local community college that my son was able to attend when he was a young teenager but my son is in the process of moving and can’t find the pic. Although damaged was surprised I still had his autograph from when I was a kid at a local restaurant my step dad worked at in Monterey when Herman had come back to visit. Looking much younger in the 80’s. Lol

Smart thinking making the flipper rubbers blue. Any type of wear or color smearing shows up so readily on Red/Orange/Yellow flipper rubbers.

Definitely part of my thinking. So many people use translucent these days, which get a little grimy after 75 or so plays.
Just made a kit for my GTB Hulk too...was tempted to go translucent, but ended up going green for maintenance, and to pull the darker green out of the PF art.

I hope to own a Hulk again someday. Had one for a few months and miss it dearly. The of the most challenging and exciting System 1 games I've played.
It always seems to take several games before figuring out Hulk shots again after not playing it a while, flipper area so tight and the rebounds of the not slings are so different.
Would love to see a pic of your Hulk with all the colors Colsond3 I'm not so good with colors so my hulk is all black at the moment, I did go all translucent on Alien Star however, except for flippers which are orange. I really like the translucent look on it with the clear posts and mostly black playfield.

Right? Sometimes you get a bounce off the "non-slings" and it goes SDTM fast. Definitely takes a different technique to play Hulk. Some people like the gameplay...some don't. But like Spiderman, the art package is fantastic, including the cab.

I'm sure the Alien Star looks stellar with translucent rubbers and posts. Those just fit that game. I should have 2 Titan kits coming today or tomorrow, so I'll definitely post a pic or two once I shop Hulk. Should get to it this week with the increased downtime / voluntary seclusion from society.
Quoted from mrm_4:Any progress lately?
Hopefully getting back to it today or tomorrow. Working remotely has been taking a toll on me.

For a little sidebar, I did just shop my Hulk. Tore down the whole game, waxed and polished all the metal. New flippers, new 2” flips and lane guides up top, new pop caps, new posts. Here’s a few pics before and after.
