My STAR TREK Topper Video And Art

Just wanted to post pics and video Star Trek pinball topper design. It works great for the Pro and LE. It has 2 levels with blue cathode and led lighting. It features a control module that has many effects. I just have it set to flash in the video. I posted a pic of the art because the video doesn't really show the detail and definition of the artwork. I am designing a slightly different topper for the Premium with a different color scheme and red lighting. Questions and comments are always appreciated. Thanks!

Wow. I hate toppers but this looks like it should be included from Stern.
Amazing work!

Perhaps you could be hired by Stern to design the whole pin??? Nice work.

F#(< dude, that is sweet! I'm not sure if I like the idea of red lighting for the LE (which is so dominantly blue), but given how sweet this one looks, who am I to question?

Um. I'll take it! But don't you think blue would look better with the LE than red? Or did you mean premium.

Thanks for the kind words Yes I am selling them. They are $185.00 and I am only doing one run of these and one run of the Premium.

So when you earlier said red lighting for the LE, did you really mean Premium? Are you doing something different for the LE?

Dan has a lot of talent artistically . He has helped me out for years on art projects and has a unique vision of how things can be when doing an original design. Dan did the art on a custom machine for me last fall and the client was flabbergasted by the quality. It was done under time constraints and turned out great. I would really like to see what he could do for one of the major mfrs. as I feel people seem to really like original designs verses clip art. Hopefully someone can take notice and hire him to do a design someday

Yes I meant the premium. This version jibes well with the Pro and LE. Also doing custom leds in the engines upon request. They can be wired with the module so they can flash, flicker, strobe,fade etc. they can also be left separate to be wired to the pop bumpers.

I want one, but I am not 100% certain that the LE does not include a topper from Stern. The feature sheet says "LED Illuminated 6" stainless steel Star Trek Shield Emblem on back box." Sure sounds like a topper to me. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

No I don't think they mean speaker panel. they mean the 6" symbols on the sides of the back box. If you look at pics of the LE you will see them there on the side of the back box.

The topper is 21"x10". It comes with the cable and plug to connect to the 5v below the right flipper.

IDK - doesn't look right to me either. Looks like Original Enterprise; not JJ's.
It has red nacelles; JJs has blue. Still bad ass; but not enough lens flare.

Any details on the construction/printing etc? Is it plexi with a backlit film or what? Looks good, this style would work for a lot of things actually, surprised no one has broken these out bigtime already. Maybe you will!

Wile it looks great, it's not the Enterprise from the new movies. I did find the picture on the web but no info about it. Provably some fan created art. Not bad but for me if it's going on a new $7,895.00 game it's gotta be the correct ship.

There is info on the website how it's built --> http://www.tilttopper.webs.com

I just sent Dan a PM with a bunch of questions about it, very nice seller with quick replies. The emblem light that is blinking can also be changed to be solid, fade or blink.

Looks like a nice topper for this game Great work on this Dan! I am totally in for one

Thank you to everyone for all the kind words. It's really nice to have so many people appreciate my work. I will be posting pics of the Premium topper later this week. After I finish a few more single custom topper projects I have I will be working on a STTNG model. Thanks again

Looks close to me. The necelles are red when going above the speed of light and blue when going below.

Frax - he says he'll do custom toppers.

I'm having a hard time telling how the Enterprise is rendered... Is it a Plastic piece which extends from the topper? or is the picture just 2D with a 3d look.
IE can we see it in profile?

Not sayin' it ain't gorgeous, but the ship in the topper doesn't match the ship on the cabinet side artwork.

Exactly what I was thinking. I already have a topper planned for the Bally Star Trek.
I'm kinda waiting for him to post a price somewhere - and an answer to my question.
