If you want pinball makers to come to Pinside and converse with you, starting threads with titles like this is NOT a good way to go about that.
Rob Zombie, minus a few art elements we are patiently waiting for, is about complete... this other project hasn't even started CAD for the prototype yet. Once RZ is in production, our employees build while I supervise and go back to running the company (translation, design & manage).
Once this project comes together, more employees will be hired and a small 2nd line of production will begin.
Starting speculation threads about situations you know nothing about... just stirs up drama and accomplishes nothing. I freain' hate drama with a passion.
