Hi pinside. Time for me to blast off! Actually after a lot of restore. Have some questions for a newly received apace shuttle. I am going to work through a hardtop restoration and I’m sure I will have technical questions as I go, but to start the game plays and everything registers. It just looks bad. While going through it, I would like to fix up the bangs and bruises. Items needed, so please let me know thoughts on process or where to buy:
1) would like to redo external art. Sides don’t look bad, but head needs redone IMO. So either side vinyl art or stencils. I’ve done a Jurassic park with vinyl and it came out good, so prob prefer that. Have not restenciled. Is the only place that I can get that pinball decals.eu? How is quality?
2) I have one broken plastic. The top back of the ramp. Any place you can buy singles or have to buy all?
3) the ramp flaps have cracking and someone taped them down. I would think a larger ramp flap would work well here. Thoughts?
4) the space shuttle looks solid but dingy. And the nose needs repaint. Any thoughts? Attaching pics for reference.
5) finally there’s something that was loose inside the coin door that I clipped off. Any idea what this was?
That should start. Thanks! Help me make this awesome. My wife works for nasa so we are super excited
