Torpedo Alley update:
Yesterday was one of those days I started to feel like I've bit off more than I can chew. When making my molds, the original parts did not want to release, and I completely destroyed 2 of the 3 mountains getting them out. I knew this could happen, and these are much more fragile than a usual ramp. Well, my worst nightmare came true. I figured my Torpedo Alley machine may have just donated its life to science.
So today, I finished off the molds and gave them a trial run. To my relief, they seemed to work pretty well. The detail seemed to reproduce pretty faithfully. After cutting them out, I decided to use some paint I had here to do a very basic paint job to see how they would look. The paint was thrown together a bit hastily, but the factory seemed to do the same...haha
I need to get the right paint for this plastic, but this should give you guys a decent idea on how well the molds turned out. I have to do some work to the ball openings yet, and spot all the mounting holes. I am also going to be offering new clear protective plastics to go with these, because yours are probably just as yellowed as my originals are.
At the end of the day, my original mountains gave their life to better the pinball world...so they should be proud of themselves for that at least.
I'll be taking names for these if anyone is wanting to purchase a set. PM me your email address and I'll add you to the que. I will determine the price shortly. These most likely will be sold as clear parts, to be painted by the purchaser.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

I am looking for a DE Jurassic Park subway ramp to borrow and copy- the original person I lined up for that job is MIA now. I can work that one in just about any time it is available.

Quoted from JodyG:

Awesome! I was actually hoping it didn't show up this past week, as one of my suppliers is late shipping some material to me for this project. Thank you!

OP

Quoted from JodyG:

It's on the list...probably this summer.

400...that is how many rivets are required to assemble 50 Atlantis lift ramp assemblies.

Gary, that was some bad timing...because I hate talking on the phone! Hope to see you next year

Quoted from JodyG:

Time Machine isn't on the agenda at the moment...i've looked into doing the difficult corkscrew, but I am going to hold off on pursuing that until I am good and ready for a frustrating project. haha.

OP

Quoted from JodyG:

Brain fart! I do not have plans for that at the moment either, but who knows where 2022 will take me.

Quoted from JodyG:

I just received the donor ramp, but it will be a bit until I get to it. That curved part in front of the 3 drop holes will mean this ramp has to be a female mold, which is a bummer. I would prefer to not have to do any ramp that way, but sometimes you have to.

Update- Most items are back in stock on my site so I am going to be working on new molds for the next couple weeks. I currently am working on molds for Rollergames and DE Batman. Rollergames has around 85 holes in it, so I am going to have to dive into CNC cutting the majority of these. I have to do some modifications to my CNC to make this work, so ETA is looking like somewhere in March.

I also received a complete set of Hot Shots ramps which I will start working into molds shortly.
I will also be offering clear tubes for a few games once I have all the specs ironed out. Xenon, Cybernaut, Mars God of War, Big House and Black Hole. I still need the specs from a Black Hole tube before I can start on that...PM me if you have one and can take a few measurements for me.

NOTE: I am not selling toppers directly through my store, they will be sold exclusively through Marco Specialties. Here are some samples of the upcoming Last Action Hero topper and tar pit ramp. The main ramp is available now at www.rampomatic.com.
The Tar pit ramp turned out great...the wave on the bottom of the middle section is due to a processing error on my part for the test pull. I had to jump up to .187" thick material, as .125" was too flimsy...so the price will be a little more expensive as a result.
