Dothedoo, how did you get those ball swirls out of the yellow head artwork so cleanly? I never get results like that, even with magic eraser. Damn fine work, it must be witchcraft!

Quoted from SealClubber:

I always wanted to find a trashed one and turn it into Aeon Flux.

Please tell me you mean the animation and not the movie.

I've never seen the upper lane lamps strobe like that during a game, are you using a special "home rom" or have I just not been paying attention while watching other QS videos? What's the purpose of the strobing?

Green!
Mind the 'before' pic of the apron.

You need a few more stickers on there, I can still see some of the green stripes.

Quoted from klr650:

Still working on the fonts in Corel Draw. If you look at the word "FOR" you can see that the O is still too wide and the leg of the R is just plain wrong.

That's because you're using the font Arial. Arial was designed in 1982 as an inferior substitute for Helvetica, so it didn't even exist when Quicksilver was made. I see many arcade and pin repro products take the quick route and use Arial instead of finding the correct font, which is usually Helvetica, Futura, Folio, or Franklin Gothic, and the results always look wrong. In this instance, Helvetica is a much closer substitute, although not an exact match; typefaces were revised/revamped slightly over time and in different media, and I wouldn't be surprised if the original artwork used for Stern aprons back in the 80's was created with dry transfer (rub-off) lettering.

Quoted from klr650:

Ah Arial, the poor coupon-cutting spinster of the Sans Serif family

It belongs in font hell along with Comic Sans and Papyrus.
