"R2D2 Decals for STAR WARS PINBALL" (DATA EAST). Restoration and Modding project
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction: I´m Mikonos and I´m 19 year old in arcade and pinball hobby. I´m the webmaster of a fansite called "Zona Arcade. Construye, Restaura y Decora tu Máquina Arcade y Pinball" (14 years old) too. I have always had same nickname. I´m a fan and a huge collector of arcade and pinball cabinets, and other items related. Some year ago I realized that I like so much to restore and customized artwork, it is my main entertainment. I think I´m good at working with design programs. You can check my skills in this pinside thread in which I´m compiling my artworks about pinballs.

I´m not a shop and I´m not working in a printshop! Sorry for it! I´m only a fan. I learned all about design and print materials by myself, I´m always looking for volunteers for testing of my new mods and ideas, I look for new restoration challenges and more. If you have a good idea about a mod for your pinball, tell me and I will try to make it a reality. I work designing and restoring for free because it is fun for me!

"R2D2 Decals for STAR WARS PINBALL" (DATA EAST). Restoration and Modding project

I will develop a visual restoration with results about "R2D2 Stickers" from "Star Wars Pinball" by Data East. I have an idea to improve original result and introducing new mod variations for it.

If you have new ideas for this project, speak freely. You are welcome! If you have a positive or negative critic in special, be contructive with your opinion. Remember: A Opinion is not true or false.

Thanks in advance!
