Had anyone brassed their ramps and habitrails?

I didn't see any pictures or mention of it in this thread, so I'm guessing not. But, just something I was thinking would look nice and tie in with Smaug's gold piles.

Quoted from mima:

Hi I just wanted to share my two latest mods, I Individually painted barrels.
Thoughts?

Nice!

Where did you get the barrel cup holder? Did you start with a base and paint that too? I don't even have a Hobbit and I want that.

Quoted from Audioenslaved:

I think WOZ just has the it factor with the layout and the code being great. I don’t think I’ll even get to somewhere over the rainbow but I can dream... I have been to Battle of five armies twice in about 20 or so games. Getting to Into the fire is more of a rush for me than Bofa! Just the music and the call outs for me in into the fire are spot on. And when you kill Smaug that’s a pretty cool bit too but I’ve done it and I don’t feel like I need to do it again...
Furthermore to the above I’ve been to BOFA and killed Smaug and the game to me feels like I can do that ALMOST EVERY game! ALMOST! And I think what kind of kills my enjoyment. I don’t want to get to the wizard mode or close to the end of the game every game. LOTR for me is the better if the two worlds because you can play 2/3 of the movie multiballs and maybe get to destroy the ring every other 10 or 20 games and it’s an achievement instead of feeling like it’s a given. That’s the feeling I get. Just me

Have you thought about changing your setup?

Full Discloser: I don't own a Hobbit. However, I've read a lot of people think the game is too easy or it lasts too long. In order to make it more challenging some have changed difficultly, adjusted the angle, opened the outlanes, etc.

I like to play at factory setting for the most part, but maybe this is a game that would be good to make more challenging as your skill level increases or you learn how to play it better...?

just spit-balling..

Quoted from meSz:

Can someone provide me where I can find how to add a sub woofer to a Hobbit

Are you looking for a DIY job or something a little more plug-n-play?

I don't have one yet, but I think if I add a sub to any of my machines I'd use the Pinnovators passive subwoofer mixer:

But, they also make a kit just for a single external sub.
