I think the new playfield art does a much better job of delineating the storyline.

Alex, do you know if the wireforms and ramps will be getting any powder coating or other kind of treatment? I think the game is looking great. One thing that sort of looks out of place though is the big expanse of silver on the ramps.
Quoted from txstargazer3:That must have been six weeks of hell. But under that kind of pressure Jack gets to see who the real stars on his team are. This game is now astonishingly beautiful! I'm mighty glad I have a day one order paid in full.
I suspect the new playfield artwork was already in the works before expo. It's hard to believe they could have produced the artwork, gotten all the approvals and fabricated the playfields in only 6 weeks.
Quoted from Pinchroma:Wireforms yes. Ramps no. Can't powder Ramps. (Technically you can but don't want too). Powder dimples like wood. Powdering the ramps would cause ball trails and tram lining. It would cause the ball to do weird things. Wireforms are a different story as the ball travel is pre defined. The ramps have a much different area of ball travel.
Perhaps anodizing?
Quoted from cooked71:I didn't mind the first edition, but have to admit the new one looks much better. Not sure about the Gold Smaug head in the other photos. And the LCD looks like a bit of an afterthought thats just bee stuck on there.
I would guess whatever Smaug turns out to be, some people will be hand painting it to their personal preference and others will be offering it as a mod. Like Sparky.
Quoted from Pinchroma:Done in aluminum only. Ramps are steel.
Ah. Got it. Do you know what process is used on Stargate to make the ramps gold/brass colored?
Quoted from Skins:Why? This looks like a shitty way of doing things. Or better yet, cheaper. It doesn't look like there are service rails or supports either. Wtf? The rails they had on WOZ were awesome and are a legitimate selling point. This, not so much.
I think Jack said it will also have the rails like WOZ.
