EDITION
Full gallery available on post #130
Hi everybody,
I will present you a one year project from the beginning.
the project is easy, it's a perfect copy of the famous Disneyland Los Angeles Indiana jones williams edition.
Started about 10 month now, I will post one/two/three time each week project evolution. Actually near from the end you could follow major steps of the conception and making of this amazing project!
Dont forget to add to your favorite 
let's go !
I started my project with an Indiana jones that comes out of exploitation. it condition wasn't bad but not good at all!
The first part of my work consisted in drawing up the plans of the cabinet using the original IJ cabinet I have!
here you can see the original IJ machine, and the first part of the basic cabinet plans.

I tried playing it not long before they got rid of it and it didn't work, but I looked at it long enough to be surprised by how much wear the playfield had. Maybe that was part of the theming in their mind?
I understand that playfield Wear goes with the vintage look of the pin but this pin is a masterpiece. Playfield has been swapped to a new.
Major work on this project is about cabinet copy, vintage style copy, artwork copy etc...
Inside has been restored to have a perfect game condition without using "gold/polished/mirrored parts that aren't according to the global vintage dirty style.
Keep follow, New update comming!
Quoted from pinmister:May reach out to GAP, he probably has some sage advice on this project
I still kick myself for not buying the GAP one, it would have been a bargain at today's prices

sorry but this copy is just NOT good... bad job... really sorry for who did it, but...
-wrong wood used
-wrong colors
-wrong vintage finish
-wrong molding sizes
-wrong snake drawing proportions
-where are the hinge ears ?
-bambou size en finish...
-bad sides rails and locker...
definitively...
The first part of this project takes me about 4 month.
here the major steps of the preproduction study
-drawing the basic WPC IJ cabinet
-drawing all the molding and wood parts added on the cabinet
-finding all the needed parts for the cabinet
-finding technical solutions about backbox hinges/ side rails/ lockbar and many more...
-drawing the snake and cabinet graphics
-choosing the right wood for cabinet and molding
-establishment of the complete finishing process for the painting technic/cabinet/legs etc...
-complete checkup of the playfield, playfield parts, toys, electronics etc...
Previously we have seen the cabinet basic drawing.
In order to understand, I'm located in France, I have never seen the pin, so entire project is based on the followed picts
1608753288710 (resized).jpg1608753288715 (resized).jpg1608753288719 (resized).jpg1608753288726 (resized).jpg1608753324886 (resized).jpg1630337928798 (resized).jpgThe only modifcation/upgrade I have made about cabinet is about backbox hinges. I have decided to find an other solution than standard backbox hinges to solve this "problem" and find a better solution to my mind.
You can see on the original Disneyland pin that backbox hinges are hidding under feathers ears of the cabinet, you can also see that hinge rotation passed through siderail groove.
what is the problem ?
-firstly, I think that digging the hinges covers is creating some problems
- hard to dig the piece of wood
- hard to fix the dig piece since we havent a lot a wood remaining on the edge
- this piece MUST be demountable to have possibility to remove this hinges if necessary
-secondly, standard position of this hinges don't work with the rotation because we had two layers of wood (one on the side rail, one on the backbox edge)
- it is necessary to correct hinges position (X/Y axes) to have a folding backbox
this is why I choose to change this rotation organ.
after a lot a search about all hinges types possible, the only possibility was to use double axes hinges that will be perfect integrated to the backbox.
finish of these isn't good for me since they are zinc plated (tooooo shinny). this is not a problem I will do something for that !
you can also see a quick front view of the wooden plated siderail with wood plated lockbar connection technical drawing

Quoted from CashMoney:PiperPinball Did something very similar to this. You should connect with him to see if he has any suggestions or tips.
Super cool project!
Project is already near to finish in facts .
Thanks for the contact
Thanks to share, you do a lot a things more ! It have a nice custom look on the playfield.
I love the Idea of the right ramp modification !
Inside mine will be more near to standard, but outside promish to be Amazing !
Stay see on my thread, i Hope You will be surprise!!
If you have any questions...!
The hard part of the job was to copy the artwork of this Disneyland pinball.
All the more I havent a front image of the snake artwork...
Redraw of this snake was very difficult because it's necessary to have a well proportionate animal but it need to be a the good size as the orignal.
moreover it needs to the a the good place to have all the graphics/cabinet parts that fall right in front.
all the drawing had been made on a CAD software, all the graphics lines too.
in the same time I scaled all the moldings to have a perfect matching style to the original proportions.
Finally I will reveal the choosen material for the cabinet.
-All the hidden panels will be in Black valchromat (high density MDF tainted in the mass)
this is a very qualitative product very clean, beautiful, heavy and dense.
Capture d’écran 2021-08-30 à 17.44.11 (resized).png
-All the "wood" visual panels will be in a panel with a massive OAK veneer (1/40" thick), I don't know the English traduction for this type of panel.
its a very expensive panel but quality is amazing, so its a very good choice to me! Oak is the best wood to stick to the original pin.
Capture d’écran 2021-08-30 à 17.43.21 (resized).png

-All the molding, wood parts, allllll the added wood parts will be in massive OAK.
-all the template for the cabinet panel/ cabinets parts etc... will be in HPL ( 8mm thick)
all the templates have been made by hand using portable tools, NO CNC 
received_751340165551107 (resized).jpeg
received_225266422418337 (resized).jpeg
I have choosen the panel material, its now possible to make panels layout since I have panels dimensions.
here you can see the layout for OAK panel and Black valchromat.
do you want a little more content to eat? 
All the oak panels and black valchromat panels have been machined using my HPL template with a router.
Concerning panels assemblies, I did not skip.
the whole pinball is assembled using
-Lamello
Capture d’écran 2021-09-03 à 20.16.52 (resized).png
-titebond III ultimate
Capture d’écran 2021-09-03 à 20.17.34 (resized).png
-special panel wood screws
Capture d’écran 2021-09-03 à 20.18.41 (resized).png
-clamp
in this way we obtain a high quality assembly which does not risk moving over time 
In the following picts you can see backbox first step assembly.
the wooden part on which is the groove of the backglass and the lock of the backbox is well

YES you see double 
. . . there is so much work, study and fresh that I went on two boxes rather than one, at this stage we were closer to that!
as you can see, I work in the living room, I have no garage or workshop ... not easy!
Quoted from FlippyD:This topic makes me wonder... How much would the original Disneyland Indy get at auction? It's probably beat to hell and collecting mice poop at this point but what a cool history!
It might be veryyyyyy expensive
Quoted from DavidCPA:Was just at Disneyland in April. Talked to the person working the shop where it used to be. He the game was pretty broken down and had no idea what ever happened to it. Shrunken Ned was working fine....
Dont worry i will Sell mine at Disneyland if they want
Hi !!
new update today!
Now that all the panels have been assembled it's time to put all the massive oak parts / trim /molding!
the section of theses has been found with pictures and using proportionality rules.
thickness is about 1/4" (7mm).
all the back box trim have a quarter round molding as the original and all the trims have been miter cut and glued in place without using screws or nail to have a perfect finish !
here you can see the gluing process and the final result

it start to looks very very good 
hi every body !! 
after the backbox...
further advancement of the massive oak trims/molding/oak parts onto the cabinet and side rails/lockbar !
custom side rails are based on a classic steel siderail which was dressed with oak, stick on it with clear resin.
Same thing for the lockbar, but this part needed more work to match correctly with side rails and original design!
Massive oak Ears have been routed in a more thick piece of oak to raise with top siderail side and glued in place.
you can see the hole for the feet screw (10mm diameter) to do them I have a made a ash template to guide the helical bit.
(i will search a picture of it, it is interesting).

In the following picture you can see a first impress of the pin.
I cannot resist to try... the aim? Getting a first look on the final product
Some updates for today!
On the following picture you can see the trial of the chosen colors and tint.
The colors have been chosen on the RAL en NCS color chart then made by a specialized wood paint profetionnal.
all the colors have been applied to see if everything goes together and match to the original.
Note that its the base colors, they need to be aged afterwards...
received_507692683709023 (resized).jpeg
Next steep was to choose how to make the original drawing!
there are many solutions and many cases depending....
-brush application
-spray gun
-air-brush
I choose to apply by hand with standard brush, the aim was to get a drawing base very clean but not with a perfect wood cover, and patinate all after.
i have decided to make stencils using 2mm acrylic (thickness is not a problem with brush, it will if using spray).
the big advantage of acrylic stencils is that they are easily reusable, cleanable, repositionable and finally have little to turn them to have the same drawing in symmetry. with a single stencil we make both sides of the pin body/ears and blackbox.
stencils are the only thing witch was made using Laser cut CNC using my CAD drawing.

Project started 1year ago... But i Hadn't thought to share it
This is the reason why its so fast now !
I try to organise my post by keytime to show you the project!
Actualy it remains me to finish legs/rope/bambo, put the playfield into the cabinet and reconnect evrything...
Hi every body, today I will share some playfields part...
Plastic ruins all always cracked or so...
I have a buy a replacement part but quality vs original is just shit, so I have decided to restore original one which was made with a good quality plastic and ship back the ugly reproduction!
First step was to stick plastic card pieces under for the cracks and missing parts.

The German meiserschimdt bf109 and the biplane get some care too
Regarding the BF109 original one is just ugly, nothing to do with... I replace it with a beautiful new bf109, after a little modification its in place !
The biplane have been fully repaint with the good serial number in the movie.
Base color is white, after that a grey added with water and finally a white highlight to get a Non-pure white finish but a little dirty white base. Then painting the red and black parts.
to make the letters, I have print them onto a paper tape, cut it, and then applied onto the plane to make a template.
some touch-up after and a clear varnish, this is the result !

end is soooooooooonnnnn
Quoted from noitbe1:To be honest, the result is spectacular. I think it looks even better finished than the original I saw on pictures. Piece of art.
I think too, this design is matching 100% pour Indiana Jones Style. I don't really love the original Indiana cabinet decals...
Quoted from Hoteldrummer:Incredible, thanks for sharing, so impressive
I've always wanted an IJ to look like this. Some may disagree(most who haven't been to Disneyland) but I think its unique and freaking killer. It gives it character and personality that can't be matched. Excellent work. Just my opinion, two cents deposited
thanks! yeah somebody says me that this looks likes to IKEA... no comments !
Quoted from dts:Wow, I'd fly to France for this IJ!
maybe it can fly to you on a pallet, this will be more easier
Quoted from cosmokramer:[quoted image]
this a museum piece, this is to my mind an ultimate collector indy
Quoted from Nepi23:Put me in the queue, if you're making more of these with new PF:s please!
Quoted from BurnDizzyBurn:Is the 2nd cabinet going to be for sale?
Quoted from swinks:beautiful workmanship, looks incredible
Are you selling off the second cabinet?
Finally after 1 year project about this 2 cabinets, my decision is taken...
The first complete Indiana will be for sale (shipping possible on a pallet, buyer arrange shipping, I'll do the packing)
No price for this Indiana only offers, because it's very hard to put a price on it...
Regarding the second cabinet I don't know for the moment, I will take my decision in some days/weeks...
Maybe I accept to have offers that I will consider...
A little update today about feet...
I used 4 new feet, to remove the chrome plating a phosphoric acid bath.

After that I used a metal burnisher to darken them. now that I have a good base, a bronze color brushing followed by a gold thinning ....
We then start the varnishing, then the patina and finally two coats for the final varnishing.

Quoted from dts:This is one of the most beautiful pinball machines I’ve seen, great work!
thanks you very much !
Quoted from FlippyD:I know if you decide to sell the second one you will get so many offers. I've wanted to re-do my cabinet for years and this is so beautiful and brings memories of playing the real one in Adventure Land!
unfortunately I didn't get the chance to play this original pin in Disney... only internet pictures!
but I'm very happy to see my pin becoming that !
Quoted from Pbpins:Incredible work, can’t wait to see pictures of the completed game!
thanksss they will arrive soon
Quoted from AMSNL:Damn this game looks amazing!!
thanks you men
Quoted from gouveia:Absolutely fantastic work!! I played this game at Disneyland many times, and wish I had your skills to do this. The only thing I didn't like about it was the flipper buttons under the wood get a little tiring on your hands after a while. Yours looks like an even better design.
thanks ! the aim was to be as close as possible to the original, only modify the backbox hinges to have something better to remove the backbox easily, and the side rails only screwed with vintage brass screws to remove easily if needed...
Quoted from High_End_Pins:This is extremely impressive. I would love to build an IJ off of one of those cabinets.
thanks! the IJ will be on sale, extra cabinet maybe, I don't know
Quoted from TomSS20:This is one of the coolest projects I’ve seen on pinside. I love the theme and the Disneyland connection. But, your craftsmanship is what I enjoy most of all. Congrats! Incredible!
Quoted from Pahuffman:This is looking great!!
Thanks for your comment about my work, it's really satisfying to see his work rewarded in this way ... i still dreaded the criticism a lot about the fact that it is not an original, but, personally when I have sawn for the first time this Disney pin, that was a reveal for me on what does Indiana pin should be !
new update coming soon !
thank you very much again to all the people who follow this Indiana (path of) adventure
Quoted from paynemic:Can’t wait to see the finished product! Here is a very fond memory when I set the gc score in Disneyland one day (it wasn’t playing well, so it was actually a pretty good score…)

Impossible je suis déjà fonctionnaire on ne peut pas cumuler une autre activité sauf autorisation...
Thanks for applause
Quoted from girloveswaffles:If it hasn't been done, someone needs to do a similar theming job on an Atari Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom video game cabinet.
I dont know this game, i'll go to watch that
Quoted from girloveswaffles:https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8186The video is obviously from MAME and the sounds are somewhat off, but this is pretty close.
Its true, the original arcade cabinet sucks
Quoted from Ricochet:This is a piece of high end furniture and way better than what is/was at Disney. Spectacular!
Thank You!!
The aim was to create a "perfect" copy of thé cabinet but Also a perfect game inside for a collector in a home use without playfield issues or broken/ used parts... Inside must be as perfect as possible to be at the level of the cabinet
Quoted from fosaisu:Your work on the cabinet is stunning! I know it's a pipe dream, but wouldn't it be fantastic if Disney saw the light and bought this from you to put back on display at Disneyland.
This can be amazing in fact !!! if someone works with them...
HI !
So close to the end... The bamboo have been finished and the varnished.
to install them, using old vintage screw+ nylstop nuts... so they can't move!
Brown rope will finish all of this !
Some playfield's shots !!
hi, sticking technic for the gun plates !
This week end, I think that I will show you the full finished pin ! stay tuned !
Using profetionnal double sided foam adhesive tape. (using in carpentry to stick little woods on windows)
using a new blade to cut it, because it's very very sticky !
finally the result on side
As I say, I will show this weekend the picture of the finished pinball with rope and gun plates...!
Hi, Finally the final update will be a little late, I'll wait a friend coming from Lithuania which is better than me for the pictures !
to wait some pictures of the installed wood gun plates and the ropes on bamboo.
i have do some things onto the shinning gold feet screws and brass screws of the side rails ! now it looks better !

IMG_20211004_161733 (resized).jpgQuoted from Charlemagne1987:Awesome! You should be proud. You did an incredible job on this. Great to see France represented in our beloved hobby.
Oh yeah i'm proud ! Thank you very much !! 
I'm now waiting Job offers from a pinball company CGC ? Im ready to work on your futur indiana Jones collectors édition remake 
Quoted from NashtyFunk:Outstanding work. I found this thread because Kaneda was talking about it. Super impressed man. You should be very proud.
Thanks a lot.
This afternoon i'll share pictures and vidéos and gameplay vidéo.
What's missing? I have to order new backglass side plastic trims since they are too short. The two flipper coils will be exchange because its the good ref but not the good paper color (they must be blue).
I have to change the lightning of the apron because its blinking , i will change with same led which was used on the pin!
I'm making also the brass limited plate for this Indy.

Quoted from dts:Wow! Remarkable work, I’d love to see you do many more.
Thank you man !
Quoted from gweempose:Fantastic job! Just incredibly impressive!
I try, i try ! Thank you !!
Quoted from wallybgood:Hey JB
Nice, nice job!
Brings back memories of playing the IJ at Disneyland back in the day.
Very impressive.
Wally
Its the aim! Having the same as Disney
Thanks All !
Quoted from PeterG:Get well soon! Stunning work
Love to hear that
Quoted from Only_Pinball:This is totally amazing. Awesome work!
Oh man, thank you
Quoted from pinmister:What if you contacted one of the head executives in charge at Disneyland/Disneyworld and offered them first chance to purchase this machine. The one they currently have at Disneyland is pretty beat and does not play that well. They could possibly use this one at Disneyworld?
The one at Disneyland they keep shoving in storage and it gets little love(especially during pandemic). They did remodel the store and I think they need this iconic pin as a display piece that is appreciated by the masses. It is a work of art and it would be cool if hundreds of thousands of people could appreciate v.s. ending up in someone's private collection. Or Tim could do another go fund me to buy this machine for PHOF? It would be cool if this machine could end up in the public somehow?
Its a good Idea, but i dont know how to contact thé good persons... Someone knows?
Sorry but i dont understand who is Tim and what is PHOF
Quoted from fosaisu:Yeah, as crazy as pinball fans are you’ll probably get max value for the game selling it as a one-of-a-kind repro to Disney fans.
That said, I won’t cry if it ends up at The Pinball Hall of Fame where I’ll have a shot at playing it someday!
Seriously I never imagined receiving so many complimentary comments !!
AT the beginning when i start the project with this idea i didnt know what would be the reactions...
I thought having half "wow Amazing" and half "this is a crime!!! What did you do??"
Thanks a lot for your comments its a very huge reward to the mind !!!
Quoted from FlippyD:If you want more exposure of your project to Disneyland fans you should post it here:
https://discuss.micechat.com/forum/disney-theme-park-news-and-discussion/disneyland-resort
Submited my inscription ! Thanks for the link 
Quoted from noitbe1:je propose de demander à Robin de passer Pinside en français!! : ce serait plus simple pour tout le monde

//]]>En tous les cas, je suis d'accord sur le fait que ce flipper (magnifique) serait mieux à Disneyland que chez un particulier....
Merci les gars ! La France est un peu ici aussi !

Quoted from paynemic:Nice!! Do they have an English version for us uneducated Americans?
Sorry Mike but only available in french...maybe one day it will be available in english, Guillaume

i am both happy and not happy to announce that Indiana jones did not win and to bow to the grogu starwars.
However it's still a podium, I don't know yet if it's a second or third place.
In any case, thank you to the entire US pinside community and beyond for your support and feedback during this project!
Thanks again to all of you, I'll let you know as soon as I receive my finalist plaque.
