Quoted from PinballGalore:Looks awesome. What went where? Maybe ill give it a try myself. Cheers!
for the buildings I used 5v sockets and tied into GI under the playfield. Make sure you put electrical tape over the sockets to help hold in and not short out. Also wrap metal supports with electrical tape.
For the dino I used green LED strip and ran off the 12v on the driver board, just made new connector. I can take a picture if it will help.
Also just daisy chained GI under apron, added 4 sockets
these are pics I had. I can take more of whatever you need.
thx

Quoted from PinballGalore:Great help and inspiration, it’s one of the better looking, subtle yet dominant lighting of the FS playfield I’ve seen and your photos are great. I’ll be sure to reach out once I get started. Do you have any link/recommendation for the LEDs? Should I go with one of those 200$ light kits? Have a fabulous weekend.
absolutely not! Lol
I post later tonight or tomorrow. less than $20!
Quoted from PinballGalore:Great, thanks. What about the GI and back box lamps? Where are those all from?
I buy my leds from comet. I used a mixture of incandescent and LED. a green bendy for the dino.
4 smd but mostly reg incandescent. I always thought Flintstones looked better with reg bulbs. (for the backglass)

also j117 is where I pull my 12v from. ( For dino or any other 12v strip) you could use a splitter connector or just pin them together like I did.
I used all 2smd warm white from comet in GI and 3 purple for the purple plastics. pic looks like it color bombs but it person it looks perfect, no color bomb.
1 smd in inserts
color dmd will go in tonight. I'll post some pics

20190901_100308 (resized).jpgQuoted from Ericpinballfan:How much did everyone hollow out the houses to get the good lighting effects?
they are already hollowed out
Quoted from SYS6:I painted in the names of the shops just for effect - I like it.[quoted image]
I like that 
What did you use, paint? if so what kind? Or marker?
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Ahhh, just cut out the holes for lights or led strips.
just make sure you wrap everything in electrical tape sockets or led strips. no metal on metal!

I got a bubble level, but other than knowing if I’m evenly leveled or not, I can’t get a pitch since there’s no marked indicator of inches.
This game has always been a bear for me to level. Especially the appron. Keeping the ball from falling off the ledge og the apron while maintaining a level playfield takes some time. Very Satisfying when done! The apron ramp rap around is one of the coolest features on a pinball in my opinion.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:I have messed with mone countless times and cannot get it leveles correctly. The left apron loop stays on but when it comes down right side about 75% of the time the ball falls off.
I had same issue. I made my adjustment here. loosen the screw there in my pic. sometimes just by loosing it makes a huge difference. if not put a washer under it to raise it slightly. make sure it's under the plastic apron/wrap around clear ramp

Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Hot damn... your washer trick appeared to be the fix. I just hit 8 ramp shots and all went all the way around and didnt fall off. Thanks
Nice. I'm glad it worked!
Quoted from PinballGalore:The ball seems to get stuck up by the entrance to the rock crusher, is this a leveling thing (everything else works perfect including the smart ramps) ? Any other suggestions?[quoted image]
Couple ways to help this problem.
May want to raise back leg levelers a little. (Gives ball a little more speed and force through the switch)
OR
You can also bend that switch leg a little out towards the machine but make sure the ball will still trigger the switch. You don't want to bend it too far. After you make you adjustment got to switch test and roll a ball through to make sure it will still register after you make your adjustment.
Hope this helps. Its pretty common place to get stuck.
