Quoted from Miguel351:

Nice work, Jeff. You should let people know how long it takes just to redraw the artwork. It might surprise some folks.
I'm curious as to why you use Photoshop for all the redrawing, though. I do all my redrawing in Illustrator. Sure, I scan the image then drop it into PS to clean it up, but then I drop it into Illustrator to do all the vector work. Same pen tool, I guess, I just feel like there are more options in Illustrator. I could be wrong, though.

I had the same question and thoughts on the PS vs. AI matter. What say you?

How did you get the whites done? Is it just part of the print? This takes a special printer to be able to print white on clear vinyl.

You did a wonderful job. would you consider doing this for other pinsiders if you were provided with a good scan?

Quoted from FirebrandX:

That's when you offload the files to a Russian host and tell "Bob" to have fun with that. Because until they manufacture old pinball plastics instead of bitching about those that do, they can shove it up their ass.

So........what are you trying to say???
