Houdini&#039;s Stage/Theatre dress up kit - Shooter Rod and development thread.

here's my first mod for houdini, the steampunk shooter rod.

nice to grab.
plunge very well.
fits perfectly with the theme.
comes with a black outer spring for a more steampunk look.
may have small difference with gears and handles (since i like to play around with different shapes) but basically, will always look like in the pictures.

as of right now i will have 10 available, 3 are ready for shipping.
i can put people on a list for the next batch.

price $60.00 usd. + shipping and handling.
just shoot me a pm.

** more mods to come for houdini in the coming weeks **

thanks everybody, bob.

The stickers are really cool idea. Maybe if you do another run, my one little suggestion would be to remove the parking in rear/no parking signs... doesn't seem to fit the time period (mainly the no parking sign). Otherwise they look really nice.

Looking at the pictures of the API Theater, I think a cool mod would be a replacement for the street lamp plastic. It looks nice but a more 3D model of a lamp would be a winner. Similar to the lamps on the new POTC upper playfield.

thanks for the inputs, i'm already working on putting something different instead of the no parking sign.
the right side is definitely from that era, they used to paint on walls, name business, product, infos and parking etc...

will make the adjustments.

just made the switch to the new version, updated my post.

took me 2 minutes to re-install.
always start with the sides, lower left corner, same for right and align with the front side, then align top part and your done.
of course, swipe your finger as you go along to make sure there's no bubbles.

thanks guys.

i was hopping to finish the trunk decals last week, unfortunately too busy making other mods (vengeance mod, shooter housing light up etc..).
also busy with my other job (summer), girlfriend got an emergency operation last Thursday, off for 5 weeks.

i have a few more shooter rods in the making.

decals for the trunk will be done for sure.
few ideas, lets see if i can make it happen.

thanks for the kind words tuna.
