hello guys. another update. the guy from au said he will keep work on it after Halloween. and i also making new one to send to the other guy to work on it!

this is the wrong thread. please post it in the ramp thread. i also sent you pm before about that. i will be near the machine only in December. all ramps was cast from the same mold. and i never saw this problem. maybe you install something wrong in your playfield.

do you have my manual? im not near the machine as i told you. if you dnt have the manual please send me email.

thanks and pm are better

your email? and please send all of that in private messages

dont worry. they guy from au respond again and told me he will work on it in 4 days. i will let you know about any more news!

thanks for waiting

thank you! for now im not taking more orders but you can send me pm and i will write you in a waiting list. when they will be ready i will lwt you know.

hello guys. i still dosent have a update from the au guy....

to be honest i dont know. he didnt respond this is the last message i got from him

I have something else going on right now in my life. I should not have to disclose my personal information to appease you so you can then appease your customers. You will hear from me in 4 days when I return.

I understand you are frustrated and your customers are, but right now that and every other customer is the absolute least of my problems.

and i sent to him a lot of message. as i said another guy working on it from 0. and from him i got "working on it" but he said when he start its will take time because he his very busy

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

i need to fix the model i did to make it match as the idol scan i have and pf scan. i need someone who is amazing in zbrush software

pm sent to the guy you sent me. thanks!

au guy finally respond. because its privae things i will not post here his private issues but here is the last email from him

Because it is personal stuff.

They live 6 hours drive from me, so I have to keep driving down to them, and back, plus try and look after kids so my wife can not get fired from her job.

Its not not wanting to do this for you its just not being able to sit down for a full day to do it yet.

When I said i would send you an email in 4 days I honestly meant it, because I was only meant to be gone for 4 days, but things got bad and 4 days turned into 2 weeks, meanwhile I have every other customer screaming because print jobs are not being done etc, like I said to a point where if I cannot spend sufficient time to look after my customers, including you - there is no point me running a business.

I got home last night at 2am, I still have not slept because I have been trying to get back to everyone. I need sleep, I cannot focus on anything at the moment.

I need to you help make this faster.

I need you to send me back the last set of files I sent you - the ones that are updated but still need some fixes. Then I need you to very very simply explain what needs to be done with each piece (I know you have already but honestly ive had so much on its gone from my head)

We will fix one piece at a time to make it faster so you can test that piece faster and we can make any changes that need to be. If you have printers at the ready there is no reason we should not be able to do this within a few days.

.

i paid him A LOT!!!! im also speaking with 2 guys. one have the model and one is new one. and yes you're right but i paid him tons of money tons!! and his last fixes before few month was very good almost fit perfect. this guy is the best zbrush artist in the world. im not kidding. he made the model for the first iron man movie and he working for tons of movies. if you want i will send you his name in pm. lets see what the other guys will do.

nothing.... no answer.....

update! first im more free. i just finish a huge project i was working on it for 9 months. now i will be more back to pinbal business. more ij mod. also order Houdini and woz and few stern machines. the au guy got the files with direct and clear document of what needs changes he said he will work on it soon. btw im also going to try to work on it by sculpt to see if i can fix it. and next is the other mods.

VERY VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE!
wants to know what is it? wait until 2019.... its will be a great gift for the new year!
for now you can start guess.....
now im going to make some pinsound mix for my machines and for the community and after that.... surprise!!!!!!

hahahahah secret!!!!!

****HAPPY NEW YEAR****
****VERY VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE****

ok so as i said i was busy for 9 months with a project and now im free to pinball and im thinking i did a great break from pinball because now i learn a lot more and i have a lot of free time for that.... i have a lot of new tools and ideas and have almost all games in 3D scan!!!!

so are you ready!?!??!?!?
THE IDOL IS FIT!!!!! thanks to ME i made the changes when i was bored and confused from this project... i made it by myself no pinside guy no au guy just me hahahah ans im very proud! so why its fit now? its not thick like the original model and williams did it the idol with 0 spacing options and thats why it was hard so after 1 year i decide to change the model and to make my own bracket! if you will take the original idol out from your machine you will see 3 screws holders and a bracket on the orange plastic part. i decide to make my own bracket. no you dont need to adjust something or to drill its will fit perfect!!!! you will get new brackets. in the original model they made a mistake and it was scratching the sides so i made a space of 3 mm so you can now install side blades easy and the idol not going to brake!! im very proud of how its looks and i will post photos soon!

so whats going to be now?
i need to work on all the details to make them realistic and to add more effects and details.
i need to make bracket for that (from metal) now its from plastic and you will get a metal bracket.
i need to slice the model so i can make it for molding and casting. after i have the first mold i will start the production of 25 or 50 models ONLY!!!!

whats changes?
the price... if you bought the idol you dont need to add any money all is ok. if you cancel the order and you want to buy one when its ready or if you just wants to buy one now you will need to pay the paypal fees + 35$ more! i was working on it long time. i have 0 profit from this project also if i will sell 100 pieces and now i have to make brackets and changes so it will cost me more.

when to order?
i will takes new orders only after making 25 pieces! i have also the ramp mod i need to make and after that another idol run....

i cancel the order what i can do?
sorry just wait im not sure if i will make more yet and if yes no problem you can buy it but please pay the paypal fees + 35$

what is the price for the idol?
385$ with bracket or 345$ without bracket (make your own)

shipping price?
please send me pm 25-80$ depends on the service

IM NOT GOING TO TAKE NEW ORDERS UNTIL IM SHIPPING 25 PIECES!!!!

guys i wish you a great and happy new year with a lot of fun and pinballs. thank you very much for all of the support i love you guys!!!!!!

mini pf rails asap also!!!!!!

so i decide to make it faster so i add the details and made the changes by hand. i decide to add more details in few areas who was looking empty for me and i cover all orange plastic as i can without touching the idol. i still did a gap from the right wall and i think its going to stay like that. bracket works great and im going to print another one now so i can do a molding. but first i want to paint it to see how its looks with the colors.

i will be very happy to know what do you think guys
