Confirming my slot, curious to see the final version.
Mine would be international shipping to Germany If possible.

Quoted from PinballCharlie:

Well, there is a crap ton of stuff in these pics to digest/discuss, but I have to go to bed and will do it tomorrow. The big fat surprise on my end was I accidentally made a blue LED harness and figured what the hell, let's give it a try. I love it. It makes Orthanc stand out on it's own, separate from the hellish reds of Mordor.
Also - there are two conditions to photograph; most of the time all the lights are on - but when you start a mode or at the beginning of Fellowship MB, etc. the machine goes dark - this is when the mods on the 12v rail stand out. The photos are named to give you a better idea of the machine condition.
One more variable I am pondering - of you notice pics with the red LED, sometimes the top of the entire platform glows - an unplanned effect from using white plastic as as base instead of grey or black. I think I like it - otherwise Orthanc doesn't stand out as much. Anyhow, looking for some opinions for sure! Maybe I'll start a poll on preferred lighting color.
Also - the blue LEDs do not look anywhere near as intense in the dark condition as they appears in these photos - JEESE! It looks like I could join the rainbow puke club thread
Oh, as an aside, these pics show the final model or at least very close.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Tower looks amazing!
What I am asking myself right now will the LED lighting still fit with an all incandescent bulbs LoTR?
I still have mine with incandescents except the ring and balrog flashers since i prefer the look with the artwork.

Can't wait to get mine, cleared customs in Frankfurt yesterday and hopefully should arrive this week!

Received mine today and just installed it. Amazing work, absolutely loving it! Thanks Chuck for your great work!
Blue LEDs look great even with all incandescent.
Only improvement, make the power cable a little bit longer. Its quite tight.

Thanks again!
