Looks nice. You gotta finish off the chrome now though. Coin door and hinges need doing.

PS: Not a big fan of the shooter rod, but that's just me.

Gréât job

slid bar you had or the

So pretty, brings tears to my eye. Instead of chroming the coin door Id get a cool spiderweb paint job on it.

Great looking SM! Love that pin. Mine isn't going anywhere. A keeper for sure!

Although I am a painter by trade, Im not an artistic painter so Im sure we would both be disappointed by the results

Lots of talented guys on here though PPG or maybe even TrilogyBeer would try something like that.

Looks great with the chrome! Love the sling plastics by back alley.

If they did make a Spidey LE I'm pretty sure you'd be right on the mark. Looks awesome!

Looks awesome. Great job!

I really like those side rails. Game looks sweet!

Killer game!

Looks nice Faux Shaux Yaux

Red DMD cover .

I was hoping to get back to Edmonton this Summer but it just didn't happen. Between baseball coaching and holidays with the family the Summer went by pretty quickly.

For sure though when I get back that way next I'll be stopping by to check out the machines!

Looks really good, I would skip the coindoor it is too much and with it black the armor really pops. Save your money and get the red Pinbits DMD cover and webbed protectors instead.

Yes

I've never added a DMD cover before. What do they do or add? Does it just change the color of the dots to red?

Yes, Looks like this.

It is easy to install.
Here you go:

I think you need to add the BAC buildings and Subway mod,with Hemi's Led light kits.
They look great on mine.

Yours is very nice as well

Looks clean. Please don't chrome the coin door, it will turn all the hard work you did into something tacky. I'm not a fan of that look, ever, it detracts from everything else.

Very nice! I played this for the first time last weekend and what a great pin. Wish I had one! One of the top sterns besides LOTR and ACDC IMO.

Agreed. Sometimes it works, but definitely not on SM.

looks great mate.. killer game!!!!

ummmm....

I like the chrome on yours Apollyon! Don't do the coin door IMHO, keep it classy.

I'm planning on doing something similar to my SM, just not sure what exactly I want yet.

Wouldn't the Black SM be considered the LE? Fortunately back then the only difference between the Red and Black were all cosmetic and game play was identical and up to the buyer if they wanted to splurge or not.

I also think you should install the red dmd cover from pinbits, I did it on mine and love it. I am really digging all this chrome trim too and agree you should do the backbox hinges too should one day you decide to put it on the end of your line up where one side is exposed. I would also leave the coin door stock the way they should be on all games.

You will lose a fair amount of brightness on the DMD with the red cover. I did anyway when I did the same to my RBION. I kept it, but felt it lost some crispness

Coin doors look tacky when they get chromed, black is the way to go

Yours looks great!! I'd definitely say to add the red DMD cover, which is literally just putting it in front of the DMD to make the dots red. (Our speaker panel was toast anyway and we had it apart to repaint/replace the DMD cover anyway, but I don't think it would be difficult to do normally.) And I don't think the buildings make it look too busy or bother gameplay. I got them cheaper off the forum or wouldn't have paid the normal price for them, but they are nice in person.

We got ours from a warehouse fire and had to tear down and clean, so we added quite a few things to it as we put it back together. If you don't look at the left side of the cabinet, you'd never know it was damaged. We added the BAC black plastics (including the Spidey Sense one) because I had the regular sling plastics, building/subway set, red DMD cover, plastic guards, red spiders in grill (and on playfield webs for the extra ones that came with it,) target decals, Sandman bank decal, replaced damaged backboard decal, and repainted all trim/lockdown/legs glossy black. A shaker motor is on my wish list to Santa. lol I somehow don't have the current pics of it on my phone, but this at least shows the red DMD so you can see what it looks like on Spidey.

I have debated this one back and forth in my mind. I like the subway train, but not sure about the buildings on the left side. Would look great with the LED lights though...
For those who have picked up the BAC set, does it make the playfield look too busy or detract from the gameplay?

I never bought the buildings because there was no sidewalk plastic for underneath them.
I also thought they narrowed the look of the game.
I made a plastic to replace the totem of heads under GG and removed the slings since there is no white mask under them and they are also butt ugly.
I went with the Pinbits webbed protectors and speaker spiders on the slings.
I changed out the spot lights and added sand dunes to cover more of the disembodied actor heads.
I changed the flippers out to the shorter black lightning bolts.

Exactly how the LE model should be

I've got a PBL blue 9-LED flasher in the back panel:

http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=1247

It is SUPER DUPER bright!

I've got the Pinbits red DMD filter and Pinbits blue webbed plastic protectors installed. I changed the flipper bats to yellow from white. Nothing else was done, no LEDs other than the one flasher.

Hard to see what you have done from the pictures, but can't wait to see it in person all of your mods and add-ons are done very tastefully, pretty impressive collection...

I've done the same chrome parts. I have the subway and buildings from Back Alley. In addition, I drilled out the tailights on the subway train, added LEDs and tied them into the GI. I bought an LED backbox kit and modified it by adding LED flashers behind the individual characters. (Goblin, Venom, Sandman, Dock Ock). I obviously tied those flashers into their respective flashers on the PF. I've done more mods that I can't think of right now.

If I had to do it again, I would have gone powder coated vs chrome. Chrome looks GREAT. Until you play. Then it is full on handprints. Drives me nuts.

One mod I want to do is to powder coat the wire ramps. One candy apple red and the other powder blue. Though one of my ramps is mostly covered by the buildings. I want to do this mod, but it means my game is out of commission for a while.

I'll post pics if I remember when I get back home this weekend.

I am working on a custom speaker panel and apron for SM.

Really are a true collector. Great collectables (sports, hockey for my taste, movie props). My kind of pins with great taste in mods. You have all the best latest pins but where the hell is my numero uno ? AC/DC Premium

Very nice. Now the more i'm reading here the more it seems like pinball province is Alberta for Canada.

Just a question : your dmd is a sigma color dmd sam/whitestar with a red filter ?

Here is a low res pic of the subway car with tailights.

You should. I don't see mirror blades either. You should go for the city decals blades and add the city buildins from Matt. Can be crowded a bit to the eyes but with the lightshow going on it's pretty cool. Sure you ve seen it, if not pinball refinery have nice images.

Hey next time you re around PM me. I'll cure you about your AC/DC issues. Changing that cannon for the refinery die cast helped improve the line of sight. Have you tried the last code polish ? You owe it to yourself to give it another chance.

Seriously, stop by, always beer, sport, pins and funny stories to share lol.
