    Here is my favorite trophy I have won in a pinball tournament. It was at cactus jacks and they have some fucking rad people that make awesome one of a kind trophies. Each one is molded from a hand sculpted original and then painted by hand!

    Ha, no, I designed them to be easy to break down. The balls on top are not glued so they lift right off and the support tubes are just pressed into the stand so they can be pulled out with little effort. Three parts total for easy transport, stand, tube, and ball.

    Not pinball. But if you love pinball you'll love Ringer. I won this in a Ringer tournament. Made from a whisky bottle, Gottlieb plastic wire bracket and trophy topper.

    Well the last one I made (ref previous post) was passed around like the Stanley Cup anytime I hosted a work tournament. I've since left that company so that trophy stayed behind.

    I'm hosting the first tournament with my new company this weekend, so had to put together a new one! Luckily I still had enough trophy (and pinball) scraps to put this together:

    Trophy I made for our last league session.

    Also made these magnets for the last two knockouts. Got my laser cutter up and running. Still ironing out the bugs but looks like it's going to make great trophies.

    Nice! The struggle is real when it comes to trophies in private leagues. Gotta leave some cash for awards, not raise entry fees too much, and still produce something better than a participation trophy you buy on amazon.

    So many cool trophies in this thread!

    I made this one for a critical hit tournament we had a few months ago. I will probably never do one again because this took FOREVER

    3D modeled and printed the base, medal, and some other internal stuff to hold the battery and switch. The base has two leds in it and an led in the center of the medals gem courtesy of Comet

    Added some iron powder and then rusted it up a bit too.
