Looks pretty good so far!

#3 11 years ago

I used metalic silver and then hand painted the green.

#4 11 years ago

How did you get into my house and put those on my couch?

#5 11 years ago

Looks great!

#6 11 years ago

Looks good but I would have made them Red.

#7 11 years ago

I know but im going with the green to offset all the red. I do think red would have looked great as well.

#8 11 years ago

I like it very much!

#9 11 years ago

Looking good.
Would love to see pics of them installed in the pin.
Thanks for sharing.

#10 11 years ago

Will do once the restore is done.

Quoted from shovelhed:

I used metalic silver

Looks great!

What brand/paint code on the metalic?

TIA.

Here they are on the pin before the complete breakdown and all the restoration work. If just gives you a idea of what they will look like.

Looks really good.Just done mine myself,changed from red to the green domes and think it looks much better.What you need to do now is change the dull red LEDs in the mothership to superb right green ones.Takes a bit of time but transforms the game.Ill get a pic or video up for you to see.

#14 11 years ago

Sounds good I bought some, just havent installed them yet. I havent seen them so it will be cool to see someone elses idea as well.

#15 11 years ago

I went with green domes, green ung leds and blue led board for the mothership!

Can't really capture the blue in the mothership, it is a nice deep bright blue

Very cool. Im waiting for a bill ung kit myself.

#17 11 years ago

looks cool

#18 11 years ago

Shovelhed, did you paint the green with a brush? I tried one with a black paint pen, but the lines were not coming out nice and straight. I gave up, not wanting it to look home made. Your lines look perfect!

#19 11 years ago

No I used a green paint pen. I did it vary slowly with a steady hand. The nice thing is if u duck fart on one just repaint over with your base coat.
