I have had this idea of covering up the factory aprons for some time now. The look of the original aprons don't even match the pinball machine they are attached to in most cases. I have a friend who is a professional artist. She generally does artwork for comics and such but she was willing to help me out with these apron designs. All artwork is original and printed on high quality magnets. We have quite a few other designs in the works that will be revealed in coming days and weeks. Thanks for looking.

The fish tales is great! I would love one. When I get home later I will pm you. Great work and concept. This could get huge once we all start requesting our favorite titles. My question for fish tales....do you remove wire guide/guard on apron? Hard to tell in Fish Tales picture.
Now I'd like to request, Totan, ADDAMS, Gilligan Island,Fire!, Truck Stop, Riverboat Gambler.Jokerz..Thanks

We prob could. i was thinking of putting the rules in the the 2 fish but thought it would might be to busy. Let me see what I can do. On the bright side the existing rule cards would be well preserved under the magnet

You can just lift the end of the wire form up and slide the magnet under. I already had it off for measurement and fitting purposes. But there is plenty of room for adjust. The magnets aren't very thick.

Interested in how the T2 turns out. If it turns out I will be buying one. I like the Fish Tales. However, I actually really like the original apron. In fact of all my pins "Other than Judge Dredd" it has the best apron and I hate to cover it up.

Looks very nice

But IMO it's not a good idea to cover up the plunger area. Many people use the marks on the plunger to help making skill shots.

Your friend is still selling them, but he took off the copyrighted artwork. So I guess that tells the story of what can be done.

Looks like all original artwork was used on OPs designs, so not sure how this breaks any copyrights.

Love them. Very nice.

Thanks! You are correct. All artwork is original. I'm working with a professional artist who is well aware of copyright infringement. Lots of my concept ideas have been squashed by her for this reason.

As well we're not copy and pasting artwork directly from the machine onto our design. It's all hand drawn art for the most part.

On the shadow, what would one look like if the shadow's nose was centered to the shoot again insert....I.e. the shadow was a little off center from the apron, a little off apron center to the left? For some reason, that just distracts me a little with his nose being off center from the center of between the flippers.

Otherwise, I think it's awesome.! Fish tales is my vote for nicest of the proto batch

I took a second look your design as long as it's far enough from the original art work you should be fine. But if you get to close I'm sure Rick will let you know promptly.

Although it's artwork that was hand drawn, Fishtales and BOP is just leveraging the existing artwork. I don't think that is going to fly...

Quoted from pinupgirl1975:
We (PinGraffix.com) have partnered with Planetary Pinball Supply for apron magnets, and have pending approvals with Williams for our designs already.

FYI, on Pinside it is usually considered bad form and frowned upon to hawk a competing product in another's for sale thread.
