Hi Everyone,
I've been working on a new set of Pop Bumper Caps for Indiana Jones (Williams). Each cap is themed to the 'macguffin' from one of the original trilogy.

I have 3 versions: Grey, Brown, and a 'Transparent' inserts.
A set of 3 will be £110 (sorry, exchange rate is killing me so have to start fixing in local currency).

As you can hopefully see, the transparent cores come in a red, green and yellow with a 'bronze' coloured rim around the outside. I had a batch of requests for a colourful version and this is where I landed (they are my personal favourites as I like to retain some of the play field colours).
These are robust 3D prints that have been in my pin for the last 6 months with no problems - with that said I have LED bulbs under these and would recommend you do the same to minimise heat output.

PM me if interested - I will contact those who have already expressed an interest.
Thanks

Hi All - here are the final ruin colour choices. For those with orders, I'll contact for colour confirmation.
Thanks

This sounds very cool!! Please post updates as you go, i'll be interested to see how it works.

Quick update; I've been busy printing, prepping and painting. Almost there now. I have shipping costs (£11 tracked and signed to the U.S). Will be contacting everyone for payment.

last thing to do is a test fit of each bumper. I also need to confirm if everyones screws are in the same place - this will affect whether I can glue down the Skull/idol/Grail, or whether you guys will have to position it yourself and glue it at the right angle for your machine. Hopefully everyones are the same and that makes it simple.

Will be in touch!

This is doable - I have a set lined up for you. Will PM you sir.

Just replied - have shipped a few first sets. Hopefully the rest will go out this week. I’ll be in touch with everyone.

Hi - Apologies for the delayed response. Slightly crazy times!
I finished the previous batches, and had no plans for a new batch, but I have tweaked the design a little and am doing tests to see if I can improve the assembly process. I will get in touch if I can make a few more.
Thanks

Yes I’m working on a batch now and will post when I have some available. I’ll contact everyone who has PM’d me in due course.
Thanks

Apologies for the radio silence, been a crazy few months! Back up and running with a small run of these though, and I'll get back to all the PM's I've had shortly. I have 5 sets ready to go. Only offering the below color versions now - simplifies my process and means I can continue to make them. I'll reach out to the PM's in the order received, and get a batch list together. 5 sets ready to go once tested in my machine. More can be made. As before, I recommend that you only use LED bulbs under these pops to reduce the heat coming from them and avoid any warping long term. My set have been in for over a year now and are all good.

Slightly hard to capture (as with all pinball photography), but here are a few shots from players view. Depends on your height of course.

Hi All - I have one set of these left. Hoping to be shipping a bunch of stuff mid next week, so let me know if anyone is interested in these. No plans to make anymore in the near future.

IMG_5270 (resized).jpg

Ok guys, let me go through what I have in stock and see what I can do. I have to isolate at the moment though as have covid so it’ll be 10 days at least before I have anything major to report. Keep chasing me though! Hopefully I’ll be back to ‘full-power’ soon.

Hi - yes recovered now thanks! I’m working on a new batch and hope to post an update in the next week or two!

Okay! New batch incoming. I'm finalising around 6 batches and can make a few more if there's demand. The pictures show the new batch, and my old ones in my machine. The ones in my machine had a slightly different construction and paint jobs vary on these from batch to batch as they're hand painted, but the in machine images show how they light up.

Prices are the same as before £120 (UK pounds) for the set, (not including postage). I use Royal Mail tracked and signed for usually. PM me if interested. I will reach out to those that have already been in touch.

Thanks, and hope you're all well!

Thanks for all the messages. Will be posting an update before the end of the week and sending out final details.

Hi All, I'd mentioned this in replies to everyone interested in the current batch of ruin pop-bumpers: I have a new mod - the 'Staff of Ra_Light Jackpot' mod. I wanted to get the staff headpiece onto the play field somewhere and it made sense (to me at least) that it lights the jackpot (as that is kind of what it serves to do in the film by 'lighting' up the location of the ark - right?? Am I clutching here??

Anyway - it slides over the existing sign, so a very simple install, and the existing bulb or led will light up the 'eye' when let. This is £60 plus shipping, but I can combine shipping for those in on the pop bumpers. PM me with any interest so I can get an idea of numbers, and I'll get back to everyone 'in turn'

My plan is to sort the pop bumper caps orders plus these over the Christmas period, so shipping will almost certainly arrive after Christmas now.

Thanks!

Hi All. I've been updating the design based on a bunch of great feedback from people. Much Appreciated. This is the final 'Light Jackpot' design...I had one final thing to sort out to get the light to dissipate evenly through the transparent red section, but I solved that this morning! It'll sit slightly lower on the sign than these pictures show.

I've had a bunch of messages for both the ruins and the light Jackpot mods - I'll be responding to everyone that's shown interest over the next few days. Apologies for the delay, I fit all this around family holiday time and I like to have a bunch made up and ready to ship before anyone pays me any money!

Thanks, and hope you're all well! Happy New Year when you get there!

The drop targets are a mod I made, but haven't offered for sale yet. It's quite fiddly, and I've found that the paint comes off on the balls initially - which is no good for pristine play fields!! I have ideas on how to remedy this, but it's on the back burner behind other mods.

Here's an update Folks! For all those that have ordered - apologies that I did not ship this week. I decided to reprint the medallions on our Resin printer which gives much higher detail. I wasn't sure if it would be necessary, but I love the added details that it shows so felt the extra time was worthwhile. You can see in the pictures the difference! I also added in a crystal in the eye! Its the cherry on the cake.

So now I'm just waiting on glue to cure, before doing fitting tests on all of them in my machine. Then I'll start packing them down and definitely hope to start shipping this week. Again, sorry for the delay - hopefully it's worth it.

For everyone that has messaged in the last few days - sorry for the lack of reply - know that I've seen your messages and am making sure I have enough Mods for you. I'll reply asap.

Cheers!

Hi Everyone - thanks for all the messages and orders. First batch has been sent out and you should all have tracking details. I'm working on the current batch now and will send you all updates once I ship them.

I'm now closing this off to any new orders - anyone interested can let me know and I'll register you for a possible future batch (although no promises - I need to focus on the topper and some other ideas for a while)

Thanks!!

Awesome!! Glad you like them - thanks for the kind comments!
Cheers

Hi - I've closed this batch now. I've had a few messages after a set, and if I get enough for another batch then I may do noe, but for now I'm spending some time on some other mods. Message me if you want to register interest so that I can keep track of those after a set. Thanks.

Hi All - I was inspired by some comments to try out a more colourful version of the jackpot mod that matched the playfield and existing sign, but still incorporated the medallion. I'm interested to know what people think to this direction, and if it appeals to those not into the ruins look.
Thanks!

Looking great!! Thanks for posting the pictures!

I have a couple of the yellow jackpot signs left and available. Everything else would be a new list and I’d sort when I have enough numbers. Message me if interested.

Cheers

Will do! Sorry for the late response. I’m currently focussed on my Atomic Godzilla mod, and will return to this thread and any messages regarding Indy mods once ive completed that run. Thanks guys!

It's a beautiful mod, and gets the balance of detail perfect for Indy in my opinion.

Ah - you've set me up nicely for a little cross-promotion!!

Atomic Godzilla details can be found on this thread - there's a funky little video showing him in action:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/godzilla-atomic-godzilla-figure-mod

Ha - love these comments!! This is why I do it…your support is something I take very seriously! Haven’t forgotten about this thread and have had a lot of requests recently so am planning the new run. The issue I have is whether to make the current version (pretty easy as I have all the designs ready) or push forward with the upgrade I have in mind and am about halfway through figuring out! It would give the option of putting Stumblors LED rings inside the bumper caps to get light effects! I must choose…wisely.

I really have to get on this don't I!!
Especially with a new Indy movie coming out...I mean come on, gotta channel that excitement!

Ok, so don’t tell anyone but I have a small batch made waiting for paint and detailing!!

It’s a secret though

yes - I think it's time to start getting a list together
For anyone checking in, please post again your interest and I'll be going back over the thread and my messages and will do my best to put it in order of received interest. But I'm aiming to just do a full batch and ship at the same time so hopefully it won't make a difference.

In terms of colours I only do one set of colours - sand with red highlights on the main bodies. I can't guarantee any colour match as pictures/monitor screens vary greatly and as these are hand painted each set varies slightly too.

yep - I'm only doing the ruins look on this run, so all good.

Main update is that when I compiled 'the list', it was a bit bigger than I realised!! So I've been banging out the parts required and have a big ol' batch now that need working through and painting up. It's all coming together but will likely be a few weeks yet. I'll post pics when I'm in the middle of painting and have rows of stuff in various states of finish.

Don’t worry you’re definitely on the list!!

Hey guys - thanks for the continued interest! If you’ve posted here or messaged me then I have you on the list and will reach out via DM once I have some sets ready!

Well, as it happens I’ve been lining up all the parts and laser cutting a few bits over the past few days to prepare for a big paint session! I don’t want to over promise anything (especially given how busy this time of year is), but I have these in the works and they will definitely happen!

Just don’t tell my wife…I’m supposed to be wrapping presents!!

Yep - added you to the list!

Hey everyone,
At long last I have some progress to report. The first part of the batch is done, and parts are all ready for painting on the remaining bunch. We’re going to send messages out to everyone on our list shortly to confirm you’re still interested and compile the order and shipping details etc. We’ll then follow up to sort payment in list order. Meanwhile, I’ll finish up painting the remaining orders.

In terms of pricing - I’ve had to increase slightly on both mods (pop bumper set £120GBP, and light jackpot £65GBP). I’ve tried to keep it to a minimum but appreciate it’s still annoying. Like everything, my costs have increased over the past couple of years. (This will all be in the incoming message).

Hope that all makes sense, but any questions just shoot us a message. If you don’t get a message within the next week (and are expecting to be on the list) let us know.

Thanks
Paul

Some testing of the latest batch. To give a sense of the colours. I’ve updated my processes and am pretty happy with the results! Each set will of course have its own individual differences. My QA basically boils down to ‘would I be fine with that set being my keeper set’, and if the answer is yes then it’s good to go. If I spot a defect I don’t like then I fix it and retest.

But as with all my mods - if there’s anything you’re not happy with just reach out and we’ll sort it out.
