Fantastic work.

#153 7 years ago
Quoted from MustangPaul:

Top coat? As in clear coat?

Glass epoxy/foto epoxy.
Look on youtube.

It also levels the playfield flat and cristal clear.

Quoted from JeffF:

Man... another thing to put on my "to-do" list.
Awesome work so far... simply awesome! And I love the fact that you are documenting everything here. This is one thread I find myself actually get excited about when I see new posts.

Thanks Jeff.

Now i have to wait a week to dry the playfield sticker.
I also have to wait a week to cure the epoxy topcoat.
So i take a break til the epoxy is dry.
Ill be back.

How long are you going to let it cure for before you start to re-populate?

Quoted from MustangPaul:

One week.

I've always been too afraid to attempt clearcoating a playfield, although this looks really doable! Have you cleared playfields with this epoxy in the past? It looks great but just wondering how it holds up over time and abuse.

I never clearcoated a playfield.
So time will tell how its hold.
Maybe i put a myler on it so it stay
good.

#161 7 years ago

Starting re-populate some coils.

No game of Thrones flat castle textures for my pin.
Made this stone sample 8 month ago.

IMG_20150120_192256.jpg

#163 7 years ago

That look great. Just a suggestion here, maybe a little green moss, the glue on kind?

Quoted from MustangPaul:

Yes it will.
This is a stone sample,not for the final colour.

#166 7 years ago

now i can see for real how it looks.

You can also see the add graphics to the toplane/jet bumpers.

#167 7 years ago

Wow, that is looking good!

#168 7 years ago

How long do you think the ball is gonna get hung up in the pop area?

#169 7 years ago

Long enough to get a beer from the fridge i hope.
Its almost the same as mm.
Because i used a scan from mm to place the bumpers.
Only every thing moved a bit down.

On this picture you see there is space under the bumpers

IMG_20150913_011013.jpg

#170 7 years ago

Here you can see the merlin scoop.
And above there the moat upkikker.

IMG_20150913_011029.jpg

#171 7 years ago

on this picture you can see all nine !!! shots.

From left to right.
1 merlin
2 left loop
3 castle intrance/ drawbridge
4 lock
5 merlin/superjet lane to bumpers
6 left ramp
7 right ramp
8 cattapult
9 right loop

There are no more new things to see.
Only the complete castle walls around the upperplayfield when finished.
This wil take a lot of time.
And the electrical things.
But thats noting to show for.
I let you show the the walls when finished.
And then its a long wait till spring when every things is working.

The waits are long, but seeing the results is always rewarding.

Translite lightning test.

Here is a proto of the front castle wall.

#175 7 years ago

That castle is gonna look great all painted up. Hope you put some lights on the pf to light it up.

#176 7 years ago

That's an amazing one-off. Stern's GoT playfield is an uncanny resemblance to yours, except yours has a throne on the playfield and the castle is, obviously, far superior. Nice work.

#177 7 years ago

Front of the castle design is ready now.
Still needs a paint job

IMG_20150921_223304.jpg

#178 7 years ago

You have mad skills. Really amazing work.

#179 7 years ago

Very nice!
Wally

#180 7 years ago

very nice work, will you be doing kits as could see possible sales and people could get a cheap NBA and convert to MC

is the castle clay or foam? lookin great

#181 7 years ago

#182 7 years ago

Great work -- I loving seeing this come together with such attention to detail. Please open source the designs!

#183 7 years ago

I can't do anything, lot of things has copyrights.
So no more pins/kits.
It stay's by one home made machine.
I even can't sell translite's.
Sorry.

It was a one time only help from my wife to help me with the graphics.
So when this project is finished its history to build more pinball machine's for me.

If some one give's me a job to (help) design pinball machine's i quit my job today.
So enjoy the build for so long as it takes.

#184 7 years ago

Castle is almost ready ( painting).
Now you can see the two troll doors.
One left and right on the upperplayfield.

#193 7 years ago

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

Hi Pinballwil - you truly have crazy skills and talent, and this is one of my favorite posts to follow here. The castle is so big (and awesome).... My untrained eye tells me maybe it being a little lighter color might make it blend it better? ABSOLUTELY no criticism, and Im probably wrong, again this is crazy awesome!

Well here you see a picture with lighter color.
I changed it and i didn't want to make a mm color.
Its a choice i made.

IMG_20150926_144615.jpg

#199 7 years ago

Speechless.....just... WOW

#200 7 years ago

The lighter color looks better. Just have to fix up the orange and mute it a bit
