Hello Pinside, Does anyone know someone that laser cuts or water jets designs/text in Siderails? I remember someone that etches lockdown bars but for now I'd like to get the siderails cut through.

HI Gjm so yes the latest is the playfield is at the printer Graphic Dimensions (Lonnie Mihin). when it returns, I will Be handling the clear-coating process myself (not a newbie, don't worry). once that's done and cured well enough, I'll do the playfield swap, that's always fun (Gottlieb flat head screws, ya know).
I created well over 100 WAV files quotes sound etc. that will be selected and used during gameplay. and the sound system is 90% done.
I have a few ideas/options for background music for the game, but still open to some suggestions.

I would send a private PM or phone call to Chris/ HEP, he might know where to turn to or try reaching out to Charlie at Spooky, explain your project to him. He has to know who cut the TNA side rails.

Hellraiser by Ozzy or Motorhead would rock

Haha glad I got another vote on that, that a definite. I have edited a end of game little victory clip of Ozzy’s Hellraiser with the cenobite’s screaming when they are sent back.I’d like to share that with you guys. I’ll try today. It may need tweaking but it’s a start.

My vote is for “Hanging Judge” by Armored Saint (featured in Hellraiser III!)
Quoted from cj69:There will be different end game music for different results, but this one one idea for when you successfully re-solve “The Box” here is the link fellas.
The video is currently marked as private.

Hope I don’t blow this, I’m embarking on brass etching for the first time so far so good. These etching are to be adhered to the 3D printed, slightly smaller than the movie used prop. I was very tempted to purchase one already made although it’s expensive I now know exactly why, but I couldn’t use the ones out there because when the box is transitioning from closed to open (then turns) the height is a little over 6 inches (because the box is 3” wide and high)and I wouldnt have the clearance under the glass the box would smash through it. So I had someone make me a box that is 2-3/4” so that at its full extension it’s only a little more than 5-1/2”
Keep in mind this is a re-theme of an 80’s Gottlieb so the original cabinet and playfield design only has 2” clearance which meant that I also had to modify the cabinet to look more like a Williams cabinet to accommodate enough depth for this Lament Configuration to do its thing. So the profile of the Hellraiser looks like a Williams now. I can share the transformation pictures of that if you guys care to see it.
Here are some of the pics showing the prep work getting ready to etch brass.

Take metallic sticker paper, print out the finer black detailing on it, and then cut it out either by hand or with a Silhouette Cameo, then stick onto the puzzle box.
In the music department, I recommend "What's Your Pleasure?" by criminally overlooked progressive thrash band Wrathchild America. Tempo might be a little intense for non-metalheads, but the lyrics are full-on Hellraiser, including a Pinhead sample to start the song.
Quoted from cj69:Thank you folks for all your input on this, I appreciate your forthright input here, ( Jappie was especially polite) there is still some time for adjustments and tweaks that are going to be made for I am still working on some details before sending this out to print on the playfield (within the next 30 days). I'm glad to see some of our fellow fans still quite passionate about the classic film and its characters. Early on when i chose to have the art appear to have a comic art style appearance, I realized that the artist rendering may not emulate our favorite villains and the actors that portrayed them exactly. let's face it none of us could accept any other actor besides Doug Bradley for the roll of Pinhead-lead cenobite, the love for these classics run deep.
The colors for the inserts have still not been chosen and many have suggested to use Clear on all of them and change the bulbs, and i may do that in some sections (drop target areas). There is the opportunity to use color matching inserts to help the player connect the dots so to speak by using the colors to determine where to shoot and what could be the result, so I'm open to suggestions on that. Thanks again!
I think the artwork is great. Looks fantastic! Pinhead obviously has a very unique look, but that doesn't necessarily mean he has to look like the actor who portrays him. Comic book style artwork always goes for a more "generic" look and That's not a bad thing or a knock on the artwork. I think it's top notch.
Great theme and beautiful work. I love the mech.

Thank you Forcedlow this is certainly my backup plan, being this is a custom game I’m trying desperately to make it look as genuine as possible. Etching is a little tough at first but not throwing the towel just yet. Thanks again!

Thanks man I never heard this, pretty cool. There are a few riffs I could loop, Still leaning towards all the background music being instrumental only though. Thanks again
Thanks Honch and Zablon, I also look forward to the final product. This “puzzle box” is probably the biggest pain but should have a pleasing result in the end. Mechs in general have their flaws but there has to be a working box in the game no matter how much trouble”it” gives me.
Quoted from wisefwumyogwave:"Yooooou caaaan doooo iiiit"- Rob Schneider
Thanks Matt, and to continue the phrase,(and it felt like this) “…all night long”
So little update on how the etching went.
Let me start by saying the etching kit I bought from mircro-mark Definitely saved me a lot of legwork trying to figure out what to buy. I’m sure there are faster ways to do this. I definitely could’ve avoided multiple mistakes if I would’ve adhered a little closer to the instructions they provide. That being said I chose my first etching to be the least detailed side of the box and feel the 2nd or third try it looked pretty good. I learned that this is a very tedious process and have more respect for Simon Sayce (the artist who designed and made this puzzle box for the movie) as well as other artist that come up with this stuff.
Here is a pic or two. You’ll notice on the right there is a point missing, I made a rookie mistake when preparing the art in photoshop. There cannot be any floating pieces because once the brass area it etched away the piece vanishes of there are two small. Thanks guys! If you are a professional etcher please contact me.

YES! YES! YES!
Quoted from gjm:For me, this is one of the best threads I'm following.
Well thank you, the next month or so there should be some major advances in this project. Thanks again, looking forward to sharing.
Quoted from rockrand:The talent on pinside never stops to impress me!
Thanks although I’ll take the compliment, I see these guys doing things I could never even fathom. I’d have to agree that there are some people with a lot of technical as well as creative talents. Thank you!
Quoted from cj69:Of course, I'm here to interact with whomever wants to add something to the project, positively, negatively (to a certain degree of course) or indifferent.
I think that when you start a game, the first words you hear are "What's your pleasure sir"

Definitely!! there will be a few different quotes when a game is started, and this is certainly one of them. It will immediately be followed by the LC music box music or overdubbed so both start at the same time. thanks for the input.

Heys guys and gals, so at this time I’m anxiously awaiting the printing of the playfield to get finished, so I can Clearcoat it, let it cure and populate it. I’m hopeful I hope I get it back this week. But there are other aspects of the game happening simultaneously. So I’ll share some of the back box art in the works for now. The side art is yet to be started so please share your cool ideas and Let me know what you think so far in the comments. Thanks!
The artist is Neil Fraser check out his alternate movie posters.

Quoted from DK:Nice!
Thanks Eric!
Maybe have the chains and hooks coming out of the top of the box heading for the girls face on the alternate poster above.

The back-box is pretty much done however
I’ll mention that idea to Neil for the larger side of the cabinet which is just about to begin.

What’s up Pinside?! I’m thrilled to say the playfield printing has been completed.printed strait to wood as of March 11 and picked up today (March 12, Sunday) Lonnie Mihin (shown below) from Graphic Dimensions did an amazing job in aligning, preparing and printing. it’s time to clear this thing and let it fully cure. Then populate the playfield.

This backbox art is just wonderful! Although I'd choose to make Pinhead on the backbox face the playfield. Then it's as if he oversees the playfield instead of him looking what's going on behind the game.

Love the playfield. Excellent work. This could be a production game easily judged by the quality.

Interesting idea, the Backglass just may end up getting changed someday I’ll keep that idea in mind that sounds like a good one

Thank you very much to Playfield definitely took a lot of time from designing having graphics, created and printing. But I also feel it came together nicely again thank you.
Quoted from SLCpunk2113:Nice playfield. Also nice killswitch shirt.
Thank you!

Agreed.
Congratulations man, it looks incredible! Looking forward to seeing the next steps!
Quoted from gjm:WOW, looks awesome. Great idea for the chain/flame design for the ball lane.
Thank you, this chain in the shooter lane has been extended from its original drawing. Originally Brian (the illustrator) drew this from the template he was given by me that matched the D.D. Playfield then it was discovered that it should continue all the way to the shooter Rod, so I then extended it using Brian’s art, strangly enough I didn’t extend it quite far enough to meet the shooter Rod so then Lonnie (the gentlemen that printed the playfield) had to add a little last minute. The idea of the chain spewing into the playfield really goes to Brian Allen.
Quoted from r0nin:Agreed.
Congratulations man, it looks incredible! Looking forward to seeing the next steps!
Thank you, very much! Next stop auto body supplies for automotive clear coat.
