huntership installed.
in real, the blue light is less overwelming as in the picture.

#172 3 years ago

I cant wait to see this all lit up.

#173 3 years ago

Just WOW.
Great idea, flawless execution.

#174 3 years ago

Amazing work!

#175 3 years ago
Quoted from dudah:

Great idea.

the huntership is not realy a new idea, it's just my own version of it, since i liked the plasic edge, surrounding the bottom of the ship, to have a smaller offset than the available mods.

(and ofcourse i don't like to pay $200 for it )

#176 3 years ago

the cannon laser aint a new idea either, again just my own version.

this laser sender is hidden from normal vieuw, inderneith the cannon.
the laser will be ativated for as long as the cannon motor is powered.

this, along with a SHAKER will rock the game!!

#177 3 years ago

testing some GI:

here's my shaker.

it's made fully out of stainless steel.
the two weights are ajustable in two positions.
the motor speed will also be adjustable by a switch on the relais.
the shaker will have it's own power supply by a separated trafo, wich also feeds the 12v Led illumination of the coindoor and the display panel.

i have made more of these shakers in the past.
they cause quite a rumble

sorry for the dark picture, could't find any better.

#182 3 years ago

moving on with the playfield.
for testing i hooked up the inserts + the GI to a 6v adapter.
the playfield is still in the tipper.
not all lights lite up the way they should, due to the complex system of diode's.
for example, i can't get both eyes of the skull to light up at the same time.. and some lights are brighter ten others. but it does not matter for now.
later, when installed in the machine yhey will llight up more evenly.
i'm still trying some different setups and perhaps i need to install some more extra lights in dark area's like the left rear corner.
here are some pics:

You could put an LED strip underneath the "ball direction" plastic, on both the inside and outside of the U turn of the ramp. I put a spot light in the back left corner facing the saucer in my T2.

#184 3 years ago

for the skull plastic, above the left ramp i made a sheet of clearplastic, to ligt up the skull's eyes with 2 red LEDs. i was not sure if i would use this. guess i will now.
and maybe some extra GI spots on the dark corners.

#185 3 years ago
Quoted from Malenko:

You could put an LED strip..

could give it a go. the plastic is to dark now also.
the cannon also still needs to be lighted.
this will mean pulling more wires and connectors.
well, what needs to be done..

#186 3 years ago

is there any way to upload a short video here without using y tube?

Visiting this thread always makes me sad.

Because, some day, I hope to get a T2 for myself. AND IT WON'T BE THIS ONE!!

1 week later
#189 3 years ago

the warning tekst decals are finished.
it is black vinyl, with all tekst and blocks cutted out.
the smaller sheet is the piece with the patents.

IMG_6263 (resized).JPGIMG_6263 (resized).JPG

#190 3 years ago

for the last week (!) i have been applying the black vinyl warning tekst to the backbox.
i started with the smaller decal, with the patents.

since the letters where so d@#* small, i choose to apply the letters and the outer sheet (how do i explain this) in one piece on the cabinet and remove the outher sheet later. this worked well.

IMG_6264 (resized).JPGIMG_6264 (resized).JPGIMG_6268 (resized).JPGIMG_6268 (resized).JPGIMG_6270 (resized).JPGIMG_6270 (resized).JPGIMG_6273 (resized).JPGIMG_6273 (resized).JPG
#191 3 years ago

then came the larger BB decal.
i also kept all letters and the outer sheet together and sticked them on the cab, since this worked ok withe the smaller one.
but when i tried to remove the outher sheet, it started breaking up at each individual letter.
leaving me pealing each corner, gap and square out with a mini razor blade.

like this.

#193 3 years ago

i should have peeled the outher shell first, before placing the remaining text on the pin.

#194 3 years ago

slowly getting there

after peeling for over 10 hours it turned out this way:

Wow that looks fantastic - well done and worth the time & effort!!

#200 3 years ago

finaly, the new text for the side decals is finished

these letters are all cutted out.
the black square has the same dimensions as the square hole in my side decals. alligning this is critical, since the two "claws" have to meet up with the new tekst.
i changed the Chrome Edition to ULTRA edition
