Hello. Just wondering if anyone has access to a playboy playfield to take a picture of the centre pop area or maybe have a picture already. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. It's a good start. Bit cheeky in that window. Good old Heff hey?

Well I'm almost done with the touch ups. A couple of butt cheeks and another go at the left playmates arm and I'm done. It's a lot better than when I started.

Here it is with the first clear over touch ups. I'm much happier now. I've had the cabinet ready for a while now. So won't be long now until the fun begins.

I'm almost there. It's coming up beautifully. I was going to move this on as the wife didn't like the theme for the kids to see. I can't see one nipple on it so I think it's all good and I might keep it.

Quoted from KansasPinball:

Out of curiosity, what would be the best way to darken the skin color on their arms?
Is it as simple as adding a micro-dot of black to the mix?
Looks amazing. The detail you had to bring to life was daunting. I'm just curious about paint
colors, as I'll probably indulge eventually, in touch-ups.

I actually used a little transparent brown to get the peachy look out. But before I got it to a point I was happy I'd had at least 5/6 goes at getting it right. This was my first attempt at playfield restoration, so it was all trial and error.

Thanks people! Nice to know I didn't butcher my first attempt. Special thanks to vid1900 as I got 99% of my info from your playfield restoration thread. That thread rocks!

A little update. I'm not moving at record pace or anything but I am going forward.

Thanks @rufessor. It's been a really enjoyable experience for me too. I think I will definitely look into getting a colour wheel. I've never seen one or know how one works.

Fired it up tonight for the first time. Woo hoo.
I'm really happy with how it looks. I've got one display playing up though. Still have to polish the rails and add some nice flipper buttons. Oh and put some glass on it. It has none at the moment even though it looks like it in a couple of the pics.
