********************************************************

After playing on the IJ and seeing the huge market of mods for this game, I decided to change my vision about that. For this game I’m going to work, work hard! I just posted my first IJ mod- the Torch topper/mod. I have a lot of other mod ideas but have decided to start working on something I think must be on this machine. The left area looks empty and little ugly area (that’s my opinion). I’m always doing crazy mods but this time I’m going to make an artistic piece without electronics, smoke or motors-- just something that can add to the game a lot! I have been working very hard to make this mod fit perfect. Almost five rolls of filament and one months of work! I would be happy to get some feedback and suggestions about what you want to add to it and what you think about the colors. My plan is to make the first ten fully custom in any color you want. But the shape will be the same. I am considering many different methods for making this- casting, 3D printing, etc. I project this will cost between $200-350 given my time investment. I will open a pre order for this mod when it is ready. Right now, I’m working on the design and have the sizing done (very time consuming)! I’m not doing it just for the money. I’m doing it because I love it! And I want to make the pinball look better!

This mod will cover the metal rails on the left and the back, and the front of the mini playfield. It’s not going to change the game, just make it look better. My Photoshop skills are not the best, but I will post the photos. It’s going to look like a temple from the IJ movie with grass branches, a Tiki design and more! At the end of the ramp, I’m going to do a tiki skull with two LEDs on the eyes (maybe). For me, its like the cave when IJ runs and the ball is chasing him from behind. I think the color will be brown or like the idol temple. I will be happy to know what you think- grey or brown. It will be very easy to install with no need to remove anything from the pf. I did it in very creative way. If you have mods in these areas, send me a picture when you order and I will make a special version for you. My goal is to have it ready in 2 weeks or less. Its tons tons tons tons of work!

****PLEASE DON'T COPY MY IDEA****

Feel free to give me some tips and tell me what you think. Please don’t be rude if you want to be rude you can go to other forums. Thanks

a little photos from the tests. and some photos of temple ideas and design

Added over 7 years ago: ****UPDATE****
PLEASE LOOK IN PAGE 4 TO SEE MORE COLOR OPTIONS

in the mini pf? i was thinking about that im also going to do the idol ruins, the pop bumper cover and the ramp here. i was thinking about the mini pf but like i said about the ruins of the idol lock i like them. and also its will be very hard to install because you need to take all the mini pf out. i will be happy to know if people dosent care about that. if yes i will make. maybe i will do it and i will sell full set for the ij also with the jackpot flasher on the metal ramp. this kit will change all the ij style.

yes your right i just restor my ij before 2 months. ok so will do set for the ij. lit jackpot with rocks i really hate this plastic!!!! idol ruins. my main ramp and the mini pf set. and yes if you ill look on your red plastic you will see texture of rocks..... this project will take forever hahahah

yes im working on it right now. i will post photos soon. and which color do you think? the grey or like the orange one?

no you cant do it. when its moves its will touch my ramp. i will figure that soon....

yes im going to do 2 designs so people can choose what to get and im a artist who doing textures for Disney and theme parks tv shows escape rooms and more. i can promise you the texture will be a bad ass!!!!

btw here is only 2% of the idol ruins im doing now you can see here the topic

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/indiana-jones-new-idol-temple-design

abut this ramp i ill post it when i will be close to finish

idol pinside (resized).jpg

i will try but no space for that i dont think you can see the ball but this is the point with this cover... maybe i will do some holes...

i said to my self: to post or not to post? ahhaha wow im really working on this thing over a month!!!! just now i made a design i like. its maybe 40% of the final product and im testing the textures now only to see how its looks after printing. the long brick part not going to look like that and not going to be in this shape. its just for test.... hahah another roll of filament i still need to make the tiki skull and more tons of textures and details. this thing will be with tons of details....

X (resized).jpg

i will be happy to know what you think about that and how can i improve it... thanks

hahaha thanks! if someone going to ask me for that or going to say he have mods and he needs some changes i will say no problem i will make it. after i have the base i can do what i want and when im doing something i want to make it in 10000% dosent matter how much money i will make and how much time and money i will spent

The ball move there so fast and i dont think you will see it with holes or cracks they needs to be very big. You think its very importent to see the ball there? I really like when its goes in and goes out from the tiki mouth. But i will try to make something with holes and cracks and i will test it on the game.

what do you think about this design? this goes on the sides of the end of the ramp (the funnel) its not going to be in this color and this is the design for this part only and not for the all ramp and its still not ready yet...

ok so after a very short vacation im back to work on this project and on other mods and i really think this is one of the most hardest mod i ever made. its takes toooons of time! almost 2 months! im still going to make the design i post in my last message but i did some new designs. i will be happy to know what you think. about the skull i did also 2 designs but im going to make the tiki one because this is looking good on the game...

BTW this photos is without the all details and without textures!

****UPDATE****
when i start this project i was busy and someone was helping me with that for few days. this guy cheat me stole money from me and i decide to stop working with him also because of that and also because he have 0 skills. this guy dosent have pinball and not in pinside. he was very angry and he waste my time. i start all from 0 i did all by myself. before few hours someone hack my pc my mail and pinside. delete all of my files and also the software. now i need to get all back. in the morning i start to print the part i did just for test and its almost done and i will publish it soon but now i need to get my software back z brush and 3dmax and i dont have the files i did he delete and toke all! i will try to get all back asap. if anyone got any mail from me before few hours or something in pinside its not me!!!! im very sorry for that and i will update with you soon

thanks guys because your support and feedbacks im getting power to work on this mod. this is the hardest mod i ever did im over 600 hours on this thing and spent tons of money and power. i wish you will like it!
