Quoted from epthegeek:

I really do wonder why this game is special enough to someone to spend this kind of money on it. It looks pretty blah.

you've obviously never played one. it's actually a great game with solid game play. in our private league, 40 million BC and and fireball have been games to decide the winners during finals in the past couple of years

chris,
could you bead blast the inside of that masonite on a really, really low pressure to try and clean it up, would would that still be too abrasive?

chris,
do you use different colored primers based on the base color that the cabinet gets painted?

I shot this to chris this morning. it's not my game so I can understand the owner wanting it the way that he wants it.

however, if I were having chris do it for me, I would make these subtle changes (color changes to both the triceratops and bamboo/bones) to kind of break things up as well as compliment a little better

Quoted from solarvalue:

How do we know that the dinosaurs were that colour?

because. all of the coloring books that I've ever seen have told us this and how else would scientists know that the barneyasaurus was purple?

Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:

It's Friday. Chris should kick back, enjoy a beer and work on playfields.

at least chris knows how to enjoy a real beer brYan

looks great chris

I think that going back and simplifying the color scheme was a step in the right direction. now, you have a pair of green and a pair of gray dino's

I like the way that the darker color of the legs go hand-in-hand with the gray around the backbox, and the bamboo motif on the cabinet

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

I had placed the wrong backglass in the game initially.
Turns out the one that I have installed now is much more vivid than the other.
The one placed at first looks a bit washed out.The triceratops looks greener less brown .
The one previously placed is on the left .

wow, how many times has that [same pose] epic battle between the t-rex and the triceratops been re-done? I remember seeing it in a dinosaur book from the '60s when I was a kid and again as a model kit from aurora.

Quoted from Redketchup:

Thank you Christ to take time documented everything, always a pleasure to read it and follow your restoration!

while many of you guys think chris is good, I don't think that he compares to the son of god!

Quoted from tezting:

How is it possible to gut circles that good by hand? Would you share your secret? A video would be awesome. ☺
You got some serious skills!

that's because chris isn't human. he's an advanced pinball robot sent back from the future (punished for a crime that he did not commit) and sentenced to spend the rest of his life back in the past repairing his ancestors
