Thanks for posting the update! I found out about Predator from Pinside, and was lucky enough to meet the SkitB crew at Allentown. Having a hard time keeping up with the posts here though, a SkitB forum here would be great IMO.

Got my email - if I remember correctly production #78.

Kevin,

Thanks for the update - looking forward to playing the updated machine at Allentown. Not sure I missed it in this gigantic thread, any play field backboard artwork info?

Thanks

Playfield looks great - can't wait to see it populated and under different lighting conditions. Nice job guys!

The new toys looks great Matt!

Hi,

In terms of the artwork, if possible if you can update Arnold's rifle it appears off compared to the minigun. Here is a pic and more info on the rifle he used in the movie.

Basically a M16 with a M203 grenade launcher, note the updated hand guard. If you need a picture from a different angle PM me and I'll take a picture for you to reference.

Note: Main items that appear off to me are (1) missing front sight (2) hand guard shape (3) flash hider is just a cylinder.

Not sure if you can easily fix it but the alignment of the carry handle/rear sight to the rest of the rifle is off also.

Thanks!

Yes - Hopefully pics / videos coming soon ...

Kevin,

Thanks for posting up the video update. I think the machine is really coming together. One feedback I would like to give is that the shape of the plastics don't seem to be organic enough to really represent a jungle look. If you look at Special Force, they did a pretty good job at curved plastics that stacked to give the appearance of a jungle. Even adding in more curves to the existing plastics would make it look better IMO.

Also like the new mode, not being able to trap/cradle definitely will make that multi-ball hectic and fits well with the theme.

Thanks for the updates Kevin, when is the deadline for the personalized quote? I vaguely recall an email on this a few months back.
