SPARKY it is!

_______________

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, all

As the big day approaches, and as i slowly but surely get caught up, our family is also preparing for our annual visits to see relatives. Since i won't be able to take my workshop wi me, I WILL be taking my ball of clay and trusty tool set.

That said, I'm not sure what to sculpt next so i thought I'd let you guys and gals decide! The design chosen will earn the very first one out of the shop for FREE to the person who suggested it!

Thanks gang.

Guys I already make a Zombie head for TWD, it's my top seller!

But if you want another zombie design, that's cool too

Actually change of plans, the idea with the most likes by December 24 at 11:59 pm EST is the one I'll do

Quoted from mof:

That's a no-brainer -- make one like a real bowling ball, with all the swirly lines in it, many different colors.
Round or original shooters have the best feel -- I would never enjoy one with jagged edges of any sort, no matter how cool it looked.
-mof

Totally agree here.. Some of my older ones didn't follow this rule (LOTR) but in general -- if it doesn't feel right, i don't like making it.

Sounds like Metallica is the winner so far!

Keep em coming!

Quoted from Grinder901:

No Avengers love

For you my friend, Avengers cometh.. but for the sake of the contest, majority rules

And for now, what can say Festivus more than a zombie horde, some beer, popcorn and the Muppets Christmas Carol!

Well, I had a Sparky shooter on the go but it seems someone else was watching this thread.

should I continue? Up to you guys!

#74 9 years ago
Quoted from Aurich:

It seems like an obvious idea. Meaning anyone should feel free to try it. Not like you're stealing an original idea from another member.

Totally agree! I'm gonna finish it anyway, what the heck. I've come this far! Pics soon.

Quoted from Pinballerchef:

Sooooo I win the contest.....correct?!

That is correct sir.

#78 9 years ago

#81 9 years ago

Quoted from Pinballerchef:

Don't do the original paint job it comes with from stern.....HOOK IT UP

I paint these myself so I can pretty much do whatever you like.

Quoted from DCFAN:

Looks good. How about bloodshot eyes?

I'll give it a shot!

#94 9 years ago

I did the eyes up a bit. What do you think?

Alright gang, I'm ready to start taking orders. Same deal, $65 USD shipped. If ordering more than 1, PM me for a discount. Pleasee send payment to [email protected], and put in the notes what you're buying. Please also specify if you want original eyes or bloodshot eyes.

For an extra fee, I can do custom paint to match your custom Sparky in the game. If interested in that, PM me to discuss.

Thanks to all for the support

Quoted from Pinballerchef:

Agreed. Good call on that one dcf.

Please pm me your address, my good man.

No matter how bad our weather is, I'm thankful we're not getting what's headed to upper NY state

Quoted from PAT01:

For your shooter rod Metallica! $65.00 U.S
is the same price for shipping Quebec?

Believe it or not, it actually costs MORE to ship within canada... Canada Post is rediculous.

#117 9 years ago

I blame Brady and his deflated balls

#118 9 years ago

Shipped a bunch today, still plenty left

#122 9 years ago

I was thinking about it, but not sure what to do for that one. Any suggestions?

#130 9 years ago

Sending a fresh batch out weekly, if yours hasn't arrived it will soon.

As always, first person to post a pic of the shooter on their game gets $10 off their next order

#133 9 years ago

Glad you like it, bud! I like the hammer mod you have there too.. never seen that one before.

I've also sent more out today so if you're still waiting.. it's in this latest batch.

#139 9 years ago

Yup, all my shooter rods are made to order so there's no limited numbers.
