Nice! Do you have any pictures of them installed?

I think they look great, but am uncomfortable with there being two volcanoes.... Wasn't there only one at the end of the movie? So you'd have 4 volcanoes altogether between both sides.

Really like the work you did though, they look great! What would be neat is one volcano for the right side, and maybe a shire area at the front of the left fading into a mountain/cave area where the Army of the Dead were hanging out.

Those are really neat, but I agree with muttonboy a little bit.

It'd be cool if it started as the shire at the front...rolling green hills and all that, then progressed to some more harsh terrain in the middle, then tied into the mountains and Mt. Doom at the top. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Or, the art could match the scenes...so, Shire at the bottom-left, spooky catacombes at the top-left, forest at the right, etc.

Same here. I would prefer a scene from the Shire and one from Rivendale or Helms Deep.

I think these could be better. But the effort is appreciated.

Actually, I think they look great. Can you provide detail/insight on how they are applied?

Nice work Joe! I' haven't forgotten about those tee shirts, btw. I'll get those made and sent to you.

The multiple volcanoes ruin it for me, sorry.
It would look really cool if you were able to make the POTD area look like a cavern and the Shire area look Shirey. One Volcano back near the Tower and maybe just dead mountains toward the front.

However, this would be fantastic in a Gottlieb Volcano.

I agree. These decals make the machine seem very dark and in my opinion take away some of its charm.

Its got potential. I guess you want to stay clear of any copyright infringement. But the best design would just be the map of middle earth. Light background, instantly recognizable.

Beat me to it

The map is already on parts of the playfield. You can do a meadow for the shire area without copyright infringement. A forest in the lower right. A cave or catacombs for the upper left. A rocky battlefield for the upper right. THAT I would buy.

I agree with most people here, I really like the effort and think you did a great job with these. However, they would look even better when they have movie backgrounds and they would look superb if the backgrounds matches the playfield areas.

I'm glad someone is doing mods for this game still, I like them and may add a set down the road.

To echo some other sentiments, I LOVE and appreciate the effort. Unfortunately, these don't quite do it for me.

Then again, mirror blades don't quite do it for me as much as it does for others.

Either way, excellent work!

Very interesting. Like others on this thread, I would prefer to see a Shire-like environment transitioning to dwarven mines, and then Mount Doom near the top (back).

With that said, I don't want that to take away from your efforts on this! I appreciate any and all pinball mods.

I think they look great! Nice job. Will order.
