I think windows. The spinners look like corridors on either side

You gonna get soooo rich Harry!!!

Building on yours and Harry’s awesome idea, what about the spinners? I’ve always looked at them as being out of place. I mean I know they’re colourful and they flash when hit, but I’ve always wondered how they represent raising the sails.

Could new decals be used to represent doors? Then they could fit with the window idea? They would still need to have that reflective quality for spinning.

Or decals which show pirates pushing at the spokes of a large horizontal wheel with the axle of the wheel being shown on your new piece with flickering windows behind?

Pretty dumb idea I guess. Just spit balling.

Do your magic Harry!

It looks great... Just wondering if it looks a bit too modern with the porthole. Don't know if pirates had these. I'm being reaaaaallly picky here. And it definitely looks like a door.

Here is an image I found. Just make sure you have copyright!!

You could waste so much time searching, I think what you have is awesome.... Just go with it!

Luuuuvvvvvvvv it. Got the wife’s approval to.

Ok so it matches the doors. Thought it might be a smaller window set higher up, but this is cool. Especially if it is to be fully lit!!

Pic of it all installed? Wink wink!!!

I think if you have higher up window, you need two windows. A truncated window that wide might look a bit weird and a smaller arched window higher up may not have as much impact. Up to you guys, I think what you have looks great! Just get Harry to drop his machine over, you’ll love it!!

Yep. Like the new doors and good idea about the sticker durability. It’s going to be hit a lot. Can you please put me down for a preorder for the whole kit. Very excited.

Booty!!!

I like the skull and cross bones. If you don’t get in trouble by another modder, maybe a warning sign? Something about Dead Men.....

Lovely images but will be lost down there. Too small.

Planks of wood. Skull and crossbones. Underneath “Yea be Warned!”

It would be great to have a cautionary message to tell pirates to turn back.

Or the skull and crossbones from the movie that you showed. Nice and simple. Ties in with your objective.
You might get into copyright trouble though.

The cave is already there for us lucky LE and CE owners. So planks of wood with “Ye be Warned” would look awesome. Would also not repeat what a very talented modder has already created. But otherwise the dead man tell no tales skull would look great too.

Here you go

I don’t think there is any copyright.

But your sign only says

“Dead men tell no tales”

So I thought this sign would be telling pirates to keep out. Anyway if signs a no go, skull and crossbones please. You have finalised the design haven’t you Harry? Unless you want me to have a go?

No! You have done enough Harry! Go rest your weary feat and fingers. Really appreciate a stellar job. I don't care what the others say about you, I think you're a top bloke!!

Just hope I get a kit from you......

Can I make a suggestion?

Harry send all the stickers you make as a kit to those who order. Don't send crossbones to one and rocks to another. Just send all variations as part of the order and price accordingly. You should not be left out of pocket nor with all these spare stickers. If we have to pay for an additional sticker that we do not use, then so be it.

You should be rewarded for this not penalised.

I hope everyone here agrees.

If you want to light up the new window, you can sacrifice the existing RGB leds on top of the optos. Easiest solution. Is a sacrifice though. Then again, not a light that really does much. It may actually be easier to see the spinner visual cue through this new window rather than a faint light behind the spinners. Just need to screw them inside the new plastic. Probably behind front wall under window pointing back.

Nope. Dumb idea. These LEDs cause the spinners to flash as they go around. Also used on the Triangle. Please ignore go back to your original idea.

Look great Harry. I didn’t mind the letters... but happy either way!

Yeah you need the ramrod to show the cannon is being loaded as opposed to fired. Do your decals go over the rivet or do you punch a hole? Just wondering if it would wear.

Now all you need is a picture of a lit fuse on the door. Just kidding!

Seriously you are leaving your mark all over these machines. In years to come people will ask “Do you have the Harry Edition of Pirates or just the Collectors?”

Is that the final plastic in the middle between the spinners? Can you make sure there is enough clearance for the spinners? Thanks!

You’ll get my mum excited with that image!!

Too large for that small spot. Skull and crossbones or pirate hat or parrot? If you say pirate parrot pirate parrot 10 times it’s sort of similar!

Crossed cutlasses or cutlass and flint lock. But I think the parrot would be fun.

Looks great Harry!

Excellent work. And great measuring Harry. Even covers up the metal bars on the side. Will look very piratey!

The other door could look good. I must admit the first door looked a bit lost on the spinner. Thank you for all the effort you have put in this Harry. Great attention for detail.

I think the light is great. I was thinking a yellowish light to imitate lantern light. The flicker is spot on. Rather than the paper is some really whorlly semi translucent plastic viable to look like old glass. Could be really difficult to do. Paper may be the best option.

I notice the light is from the top so can easily attach to the bolts up the top. Good one.

Lastly paint looks great.

It’s trivky because you don’t want it to be too see through or you see the posts. Then again could something be stuck to the posts to make them look piratey or dress the posts up with a sleeve to look like wood. You could put signs on them. OR have a printed room art that sits in front of the posts so it looks like a cabin!! The flickering light would light up said cabin.

You’re right about before the posts. But a bit of card with printed cabin behind the posts but in front of the wires will be something easy I can add or any pinsider can add. This will hide the wires. The posts will just look like supports inside the cabin. Guess it all depends how transparent your glass is.

Could put a pirate in their undies! Or 2 pirates..... ahem!

I think that looks fantastic! Stop there Harry. You nailed it.

Turns an ugly part of the game into a real feature! New door looks much better. Can’t wait!!!

Looks good Harry.

So you are using 12v?

Are you going to allow the servo for the chest to piggy back into this or different circuit?

Nice bedspread!!
Shaggy!

Damn! I wanted mine in the baby poo brown!!

Nice!!

The ladies do like Brian.

For all those that want a laugh listen to poor Brian try to explain human impact on Climate Change to one of Australia’s smartest politicians.

Its more seeing him flustered when dealing with obstinate people

One thing I noticed with removing the black pearl and reinstalling is the JJP supplied opto shield really made it tricky to get the black pearl back on. The VUK was digging into it. Have you been able to remove the pearl and reinstall with this new mod?

Ok thanks. Not sure how to reach those 3 screws. Pearl seems to be in the way. Will try this next time.

Thanks for the advice.

Wow. Lots of good stuff. Thanks Harry. I just use hand for everything on pinball. Got a socket set with extensions, but not the magnetised sockets. Also got magnetised manual screwdriver set. I use my electric screwdriver for creating havoc elsewhere around the house. I think I will get the magnetic bits and the addon for the sockets. Thanks for sharing.

Looks complete. Like it was always meant to be there. First time I’ve seen it complete with the decals.

Stellar job.

Thanks for posting Mr Fury! Great to see, can’t wait until mine arrives.
