Easily restorable.

Still think Steve Young is missing the boat by not tooling up to do the lockdown bars. They are in such demand.

Nice job on the backbox.

That's a hell of a job both in cab repair and stencil making. Not at all an easy stencil to do.

What did you use for stencil material and how did you cut it.

Similar to what I use and basically the same process I use, I'm just interested in what you use to cut it out.

I did circles on Royal Guard, that game has several of them, and I used a circle cutter that worked pretty well. That's a good tip about the weighting, I think at times I've weighted too much and gotten a sharp edge with little overspray, which does tend to show the imperfections in the cutting process. I've got some stencils I've used and am done with, I might practice on some cardboard with them and some lesser weighting and see if that helps. I've also bought a new X-Acto knife that is designed more for cutting rounded shapes, I'll see how that works when I cut my next stencils.

I've used French curves as a guide with a standard X-Acto before, but the blade tends to get caught on the edges. I think this new knife will help with that issue too. I repainted a Triple Strike with all those bowling pins on the sides and that was tough. Same issue, any deviation from perfectly cut showed up in the end result due to sharper edges.

Thanks for the tips. The more you do this and the more you read about other guys doing it, the more you learn.

I'll buy Pinball Pimp stencils if they're available but this is all good to know for other games he hasn't done.
