Super excited that I will get to see and play this Addams Family soon.
Keep the photos coming

I do not have any idea what arcane magic you are using with the masking and painting, but wow, it sure looks good when you peel it off.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

I prefer the tinted original to the clear repro on TAF when possible because on this title the thickness of the repro can be more problematic than on others.This is because of the dual entrance and sharp turn in the second entrance.

I can understand this.
But just the opposite happened for me.
With my old grey ramp, after a good waxing the ball would repeatedly fly off the ramp from the upper flipper shot.
After putting the new clear one on, not only do I enjoy the look better but the ball has not once flown off around the corner once.

Quoted from Miguel351:

I like the brightness the clear one adds to the game, but not at the expense of seeing more wiring.

True.
But it also shows 90% more good stuff then the 10% more wiring.

Quoted from Jodester:

It makes me miss my old TAF too. Oh, wait, that was my old TAF.
Great job on the restore.

We will probably need to bring some white gloves to the next pinball party with this game.

Quoted from xsvtoys:

You mean, play it?!?

Love the Spinal Tap reference.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Yeah. I never know if those light reflection shots are a good thing or not.
I like them though

Yea.
On the first pic I thought, "Why did he leave his buffing pad on the playfield."

Looks great.
Not a fan of the yellow pop bodies, black skirts and all green tops though.
That would have to grow on me.
Maybe it will look fantastic in person or after the game is back together.

#283 7 years ago
Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Little bit of detail work still left but it is very close to completion.
I realize the bumper change might not appeal to everyone because it is not what they are used to but I just like the way it flows in scheme in the area for a change of pace.
It looks very clean IMO and building the same game over and over doesn't really lend itself to much creativity or originality on a game that gets done often with 20,000 examples out there.

Agreed.
They are certainly an attention getter.

#285 7 years ago
Quoted from Whysnow:

before you completely wrap it up, I would suggest to tigerlaw to have the full ring pop cap lights added in. TAF is very dark in that area and doin green upwards and warm white downwards facing light ring would look awesome!
comet has these for sale and they look fantatstic!

Have these in my TZ and love them.

#288 7 years ago
Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Sounds cool so maybe next time but when games get to this stage you don't start ordering parts and taking them back apart unless there is an issue.
This is the final day or two before a game gets packed and shipped.

Awesome. I am excited as hell to look at and play this game

Amazing work HEP.
And congrats to Tigerlaw on getting his pin back home soon.
