Quoted from epeabs:Happy Birthday Christopher. You deserve to put your feet up and relax. Cheers.
Thank you. We are working on it. Only a few days in the year can I get Marshall to spend some time with me. My birthday is always one of them. He is very regimented.

Yeah. That was actually top shelf in a round about way. There ended up being a husband and wife arguing in the parking lot over some car trouble. This puts the real in reality tv.

That is an awesome photo. I'm glad Marshall was able to be a part of it.
Quoted from NYP:Neat little trick placing the siderails like that to paint!
Thanks. I just wish I would have thought of it sooner.
Always thinking around here.

Happy Birthday! You guys still playing tennis at all?
I really appreciated your videos on cabinet prep and priming. I would love to see a video of base and clearcoat application sometime.
Quoted from jaytrem:Happy Birthday! You guys still playing tennis at all?
Thank you. We should get back to tennis later this month. Just too hot and humid for him over the summer.
Twilight Zone JL finished.
What excitements are we in for with SoF?
Will it be something different? love it when you do your refinements and choices.

Not sure yet but something for certain. I only have one SOF but will paint two cabinets for it.
Sample ES done.
Sample ES playfield.
Quoted from Piso:Incredible restoration! I'm missing your YouTube videos. Will you upload more?
Yes. I have some new projects set up or to set up and they will provide some content.

damn... SoF, paint vs decal, PF restoration vs hard top, exciting!
I just wanted to post a few pictures and give a big thank you to Chris. My MM finally came today, the game arrived in perfect condition thanks to the standard HEP packing job. When I unwrapped the game I was blown away, it is absolutely beautiful! Even my wife who normally doesn’t even notice if I get a new game was walking by it and stopped in her tracks and was like “wow that’s pretty!”
Thanks again Chris, it was a awesome working with you! Now I have to figure out how to save up enough to have you do another one for me
Chris has probably discussed this before, but it would be great if he could make a YouTube video discussing how one person can properly prep, blanket, wrap and palette a game. His work is phenomenal.

Chris just did a series of 5 videos on that process, even building the pallet. Great content, HEP!

Thank you Sean.
That looks like a really nice room it’s in now.
Time to prep these SOF cabinets.
I have been measuring,drilling holes and test fitting the backglass.
I had to open the upper recess up a bit to accommodate the CPR backglass. It was definitely thicker. I could fit a translite set up in there no problem. No such luck with the backglass. Good thing I checked first.

Damn Sean, what a beauty. You should be (and obviously are) very proud of that game.
Quoted from radium:Lol that SOF cabinet looks like it’s made of polished stone it’s so smooth
Thanks.
Here is the process video for that.
SOF is painted ready to clear.
This was a really challenging stencil.
SOF cabinet cleared part 2
Quoted from Pin-Pilot:Some tight registration on that stencil! nicely done.
Thank you. That was a nightmare!
The first stencil left more glue and mess behind than I have ever seen in my life. It came off a half an inch at a time. Took three hours with help to get it off then to clean all the glue off without ruining the paint work.
People rarely know what you go through sometimes with this stuff. I wish these stencils were made on something a bit more chemical resistance but you have to work with what you can get.

Quoted from Pin-Pilot:Oh, WOW. Did the stencils absorb some of the base paint making the stencil rubbery?
They just pretty much melted. I see this often with these just rarely on such a grand scale. I know how to deal with it but it is a major time killer and could be avoided if there were a more robust option.
