Count me in for a brown.

If you can get him to reply to emails, you are welcome to try. I managed to get a response once... that's it!

One brown one here too. Jim

en schiet 't al een beetje op aenneas?

mold is finished and dried, did have some problems with it, haven't had time this week to continue, hope next weekend to have time to cast a piece and see how it comes out...

Can't wait.... when are you taking orders?
My restoration will be done soon. Would love to have this in my game for the first ball!

Update: just cast the first piece. Looks good. Too thin in some places, I need more resin for the next pieces. But therefor it was just a test.

Going to buy brown paint on monday and paint this by hand. I'll post some pictures then
(the white unpainted part doesn't look too good on photo).

Once 'production' starts I will cast a few and then use my airbrush to paint them all at the same time. Will then also check total cost, shipping, ..

How about packing a couple of those waffles in when you ship mine?

Dan

I'd like a brown and a blue/white to match the factory and the BAA blue set Aeneas.

Please and thank you,

Bill

Brown here too!

Please put me on the list.

Im in.

As promised the pictures..

this is the first finished mountain.

http://www.flippers.be/images/fs/ww2.jpg

installed in my machine. Note on the bottom left side a small piece broke off, next parts will be thicker. It's held in position using double sided tape in the front and back.

view when playing

This first proto piece is hand painted. The light brown doesn't perfectly match the other mountains (especially when you hold it close, when viewed whilst playing it isn't obvious), I will try to get a better match for the next mountains. Nextwill also be airbrushed and I'll try to get the darkbrown effects nicer.
Every part is hand made, hand painted, so they will all be a bit different.

Price: 50 euro + shipping.
Shipping is expensive as I'm in Europe: by tracked airmail is another 20 euro (maybe a few euro less, will only know when I package the first..) But for that price I can ship 5 or maybe even a few more pieces, so if people want to combine their orders then please do so.

If you want to order: please email me on: averhe at gmail.com (you can include your pinside handle if you want). That way I can keep track of everything / payments, shipping, ..

Also please have some patience.. it took me a few days to make this first one, so don't expect me to have finished a dozen by next week.. therefor email if you're interested, I'll make one, let you know, send a photo, and they you can confirm and pay by paypal. ww1.jpg ww2.jpg ww3.jpg ww4.jpg

Aeneas:

I especially like how the paths into the mountain from the orbit and ramps are arched like the were really dug through the mountain.

If anyone wants to combine orders, I am happy to receive them and them ship them out to each.
At 20 EUR (approx $25) seven or eight in an order would break down to 3 or 4 bucks apiece. Add another 8 or less for shipping from here in Va to locations stateside. Total should be about half of the cost individually shipped, but it would take longer.

Let me know.

Dan

I've just placed an order for two coming to Toronto.
I can do the same deal as Mr.Wizzo for any local Canadian pinsiders and have them all shipped in one package.
Just contact aeneas to get your place and we'll work it out to combine shipping.

just ordered since i am in the netherlands i didnt see the need to combine orders

Hi,

Bad news, the problems I had with the silicone mold became bigger when I tried to cast the next mountain, and now it's too damaged to be used
Not too many people have ordered already but as I don't want to disappoint anyone, I'll order new silicone and start over with making a new mold to cast from.
This will delay everything with a few weeks I'm afraid
Will get back to you when I can start again..

Aeneas.

Keep at it man!
Minor setback.

you-can-do-it.jpg

No disappointment here. I am sure all agree that we appreciate all your efforts very much.

Dan

Have the issues solved and am slowly making mountains (about 1 a day..).
Today I'll finish some for local people.
Next in line are 4 that go to Canada, so if any Canadians want to combine shipping then please order asap..
After that batch I'll start making them for everyone in the order they contacted me.

Just finished painting a first set, used less dark brown paint I think this looks a bit nicer.
If you want to order, please email me..

ww.jpg

I think you need more brown in there, Aeneas like your first proto. If we order can we specify more/less brown?

I am with jk2171 on this....the first proto looked great color wise

Are you doing the snowy mountain also?

I would like to order one if they are still going

Thanks man!
I've been waiting a long time for these and I'm super grateful you took this project on. A lot of guys talked about doing this but talking and doing are two different things... no need to re-paint mine
Im sure you have a good reference point for the colour and they look great!

I'd take a brown and white one if you have enough. Just let me know

I'd also like a original brown color as well as a white one please n

Bill

I'd like a brown one too! Count me in, your proto looks awesome.

Will send pm's later to everyone who posted here in the thread they are interested.
But please if you are interested EMAIL me at averhe at gmail.com to order !

Email is the only way for me to keep track of orders, paypal payments, tracking, ..

So please let me know:
- your nickname here
- how many / what colors (brown / blue) you want
(- brown: less dark brown like the last photo or a bit more dark like my first proto ? see edit below)
- if you're in the USA and want to combine shipping with mrwizzo (but first check with him please)

Will post tonight a photo of the white/blue ones I've made as an example so people see how they look..

EDIT: I just installed one of the lighter ones I painted yesterday in my game and it indeed looks too light compared to the original mountains. So I will paint them all with more dark effects to match the rest better.

EDIT 2: here's one from yesterdays batch with extra dark brown paint. wwb.jpg

I am happy to receive and distribute in the US anyone's mountains from Aeneas. Please let him know and copy me at dkakd at aol dot com, so we both can keep track.

Again we would share equally his shipping cost and then add to each the cost of shipping to each person.

Dan

I might have missed this in the thread - how do you attach it in the game?

Scott

3 pieces of double sided tape - one in the back against the bend of the back ramp,
one in front where it sits on the entry of the ramp, and one on the right side

Very nice work Aeneas!

i got mine alreade from aenneas and its very good! thanks mate!

Aeneas:

You should sign the underside and number each in succession as being handpainted, each will be somewhat unique.

Then when you die and your popularity soars, we can all make lots on our first edition Aeneas missing mountain mountains !

I forgot to mention when I first saw the pic of the four, I thought they were fried chicken breasts! Musta been hungry at the time.

Dan

Did I miss the post on how I was to pay?

Am I too late to the party on this one? If not, I'd love to get in on the action. I also would like a brown one.

Molspin please email me to confirm.
For combined shipping its too late.
Package to Canada shipped last week (should arrive any day now)
And to usa is ready to ship tomorrow just wait for last person to pay.
Next week Im not at home but week after that I start on individual orders in order received.

best mystery/missing/lost mountain I've ever seen is the custom mountain that looks like the "no way" out DMD graphics (mounain with mouth and teeth) with led lit red eyes. You can see it on pinball owners site, the user is bombjack from Germany (http://www.pinballowners.com/bombjack#36334), pictures from 5 to 8.
If anyone could make something like that, I would buy it for sure.

Mine showed up and is installed. Looks great. Thank you

Here is a screen shot of bombjack's missing mountain and it does look very nice. I thought it was originally from Gilligan's Island toy modified to fit but it is not.

Looks indeed nice. Wish I had seen it before.
Also tried to make a skull like thing in mine but its much smaller, just 3 indents at front right side. Maybe its too subtle now in mine.

It looks like you captured Bob Hope's nose perfectly!

I just wanted you all to know that package is in the US, and I plan to pick it up today at the local post office. I am assuming that I will use one of the USPS flat rate priority mail boxes and so that the rate is the same for all.

I will revert to all later today or tomorrow with the total due from each and the email to send payment as a gift to Paypal. I hope to ship them all out to you on Saturday.

If anyone has any special requests, please let me know. I have copied this message to each of your personal email.

Dan

Thanks Dan

Hello Dan, I did not get the email. Do you have me on the list? I was the last to pay I believe. Jim

Hey. PM me your email, and I will check. If not, I will forward it to you in a bit.

Dan

Instead of paying $25 to ship from Europe apiece, each has had to pay a total of $11. Worked out pretty well.

Dan

I would love this and to paint it for the snow caps!
