In the process of designing two mods.
One for Halloween the other for Ultraman.

Halloween House mod and pumpkin leaves. IF YOU WANT ONE PM ME

Right window has animated display
Left window has two layer translit with dimming lighting effects.

UPDATE:
Due to shortages worldwide Halloween house is to have only one LCD display for the right window and two layer translite with dimming led on the left.
Instructions supplied as link on tracking email.

The Halloween is supplied painted with wear effects on paintwork etc

You can see other peoples painted versions later in the thread.

Thanks to kciaccio , Morgoth00 for the help and patience

Yep sits in that area

Im looking at adding displays in each or one window depending on costs etc.
So you'll have more than just cracks etc.
Will try to give as much atmosphere as possible.

Drain pipe included

Ah yes thats completely different.
Have a mixture of ideas for that one.

Have ordered bits for that so will take longer than this one.
Will post a mock soon.

Just Pm me your email address.
But dont post it on the here

Small test of displays. Proto housing unpainted.
Rolling animation of moon and clouds reflection plus static Michael in bedroom.

I'm dabbling in a novel way of triggering the animations
Dont think anyone's done it this way . May be a reason for that
But if It works would be a fun addition.

Was a test and quite like the reflection of the moon so probably stay as one animation.
Yep theres going to be a few animations with Michael.
Plus a few random effects possibly.

Adjusting the model for the pinball at the moment.
So being bounced back and fwd .

OK pcb is designed and on order.
Finishing off the main body .
Picture below of whats in so far.

rear Hal (resized).PNG

Going to be a few weeks yet.

Ultraman to be next once Halloween finished.

Thats going to be completely different and will be revealed when Im nearly done.

The main board doubles up and caters for Halloween and Ultraman.
Halloween I'm experimenting on the switching side.

Ultraman will be completely different and no displays.

No scenes from film I'm afraid to say due to rights etc
But theres going to be an animation with the main dude and some other titbits.
Will try and make it varied and entertaining.

Ive finished the body and all fits in location.
Also guttering added

All parts and pcb fit in body.
Rear plate with connector done.
Just waiting for pcb to arrive.
Displays on order and should be in next week.
Sensors arrived.
So pcb tests to be done.

I have yet to finish off the video's which will take some time.
Have a bunch to link and sync. Mainly Mikey roaming around.
Plus work on syncing the sensor and pin.
Sensor may work or not. Yet to be determined if it makes a difference.Bit of a oddball idea i had.

frontage (resized).JPG

It fits here.

Update ....
Just have the video sections to do.
I'm going to try and make as many variations as possible .
Waithing for some kit toi arrive for this.

Almost there......

Update.

Bits for video have arrived and shot some scenes which look pretty good.
Just need to complete the compositions of the videos to give a variety.

I think I'm going to use one screen for live and a fixed scene in the other window due to visual limitations.

Will post pictures of the final model when I'm happy with the paint job.

So really close to actual builds.

Getting closer to finishing.
Heres a clip test.

Ok really close to finishing the design.
Ive now cut to one display that covers Mikes room.
The other window is a pre lit with static image. This has three layers to give some feel of depth.

This is a costing and display availability choice.

20 Videos for the room.
Some just effects and fillers but a good range of events to give some life to the house.
Two characters played by Vimtoman , Dr L and Mike.
Yes your going to have my ugly mug on your pin....

You have two options for video control.
1. A set playlist so that you can see the whole list one after another. List is preset and loops.
2. Playlist chosen by the Red,Green,OFF lighting from the game. This is yet to be tested on the pin. Have used footage from youtube.

The color playlist function is experimental and a bit of fun to check out and give you a random feel.
Lighting levels are measured regular to take care of any ambient lighting changes.

I will have options to have random dimming of lighting for left window run it fulltime.
Brightness adjustable.

Cant see much need in changing the brightness but added anyway.

Just one power connector to 12v .

Fitting is still to be sorted.

Any advice on 12V power pickup points welcome. PCB ,PSU just PM me.

Will post when printing starts.

Thanks I'm keeping tabs on your Alien mod.... Will push that pin up a notch

Thanks also for power connection info

Halloween boot sequence.

Still ordering parts.

OK Halloween dev is finished and I'm now making a batch up. Will contact people in a week or so.
I will add an additional mod to the Halloween house which is the Pumkin leaves shown below.
Price will be £185 which will include del and pumkin leaves mod.

Pumpkin leaves are flexible so will take impact from ball etc.

Pumkin leaves printed (resized).JPG

house printed (resized).JPG

OK nearing the completetion of the first batch.

I'm ditching the color sensor section as it really does not bring anything to the mod due to the on off changes of the lighting.
You will still have ability to chose either Mike or Dr L videos only and a mixed selection of videos I have seletced from the two.
The video will seamlessly play one after another with moon and cloud reflection video in between.

The Pumking leaves have been cleaned up and ready to print up.

Your in the first batch

I dont like adding lists to the threads as they just keep on changing all the time.
Ive taken note of all that have commented on here and contacted me direct.
I should be able to cater for all but will be a small gap between for me to catch up.

Heres a video from Julian in the UK

We had a few retakes making the ghost didnt want to trash a sheet so black marker on masking tape for the eyes.... Couldn't see what direction I was pointing so walked everywhere facing the wrong direction .

May post that later

Once the first batch is done I will have a model with no video.

I'm falling behing on it but work is being done. Theres testing of the theory of the model happening and things change daily.
Right now I'm focusing on the Halloween builds and when thats completed will be full steam ahead on the Ultraman mod.

Heres a sneek pic of what I have so far. Rough and will change more likely.

OK first batch is going out this week, Second batch next week. There will be a third but a delay due to stock shortages.

There will be a price increase after the third batch due to prices going up and the shortages of some components
So anyone after this message may have to expect a small rise.

Hope you enjoy the mods.
It's been fun to do and my parody of the Halloween house.

Yep

All added to list. thanks guys

Updated list

Will post some more info later in the month.

Thanks and list updated

PDF attached to tracking email.
Have Pm'd you a link.

Yes its a good idea and I had originally done so but pulled out due to time getting it uniform.

If you do add your touch then try out a coarse sponge.
Be interested in seeing your efforts on the roof etc.

Try going onto the USPS and ask for updates via email. May kick start them.

Yep looks like only Chicago route ,others are getting through ok

Great thanks for showing us the paint job.

It's nice to see everyones ideas.

List updated

Just wanted to make sure you get them

I'm struggling to keep up making these Halloweens.

I have decided on some changes.
So have to do some artwork to do for lazer cutting.

Did the instruction info not come through? PDF's can be blocked. Ive since changed to a Google drive link.

Looks better at a distance .
Maybe look for a model railway version as they probably come in various scales.

Paintjob looks great. Thanks for showing us.
Nice to see all adding their personal touch.

Think leaving it the way I did worked out Ok

list updated

No storm windows mentioned?

Ive mentioned to all that asked for a "no LCD version" that its not being made for quite a while.
Thats a lit window version with translites on both side.

I'm not really keen on doing it though.

Definitely not making a shell only version.

I cant cover everyones wants so how the mod comes out is my choice.

The Ultraman mod is next then once that is done I may work on it.

Just for some info. Changes made to the roof detail . Final version No4

Roof versions (resized).JPG

Have resent emails. let me know if arrived

Yep your on the list

FYI Have had a problems sourcing CPU's and let down by one company so there's a delay in production.
Big shortage world wide.
Good news I have managed to source a load so will be continuing shortly.

Yep your on the next batch

List updated

Updated list.
Ultraman is ongoing but dribs due to catching up with Halloween due to moving house and setting up again.

Have a batch on the go.

DSC_0266 (resized).JPG

Your on the the batch after the next. So about two weeks away

List updated and thanks all

Have Pm'd

Large batch nearing completion so a bunch of people will be contacted this weekend.

Another batch close by so I think all on the list will have been contacted in next week or two.

List updated.

Thanks updated list and will be contacting everyone on Friday as they will be shipping next week.
So expect a PM or email if I have it.

Its Friday and Im contacting all the remainder on the list as Halloween Mods are ready to be shipped.

Nope they will be on going as are all my mods

Yep restarting this week. Dabbling in a couple of ideas.

Changed thread title to Spooky Halloween mod.

Thanks guys for your posts. The car looks great.

I may have another mod for the halloween coming. Just need to see how it looks before revealing it.

Only one pin here in UK but should be more on the way.

Nope

Thanks. I think Mike always wanted his sisters room Is his room now.

Wow Sandy's signed your pin , nice.

House painting looks great.

Thanks really appretiate the feedback.

Yep I have a flexible blood drip mod just finailising.
Have sent a few to friends to evaluate and test.
You can cut ,bend onto the smoked clear.
May help in protection of led strip.
Picture in situ is an older version.

These will be printed as shown in the lower image.
So a matt look but the adventurous can use a hotair gun to make it crystal clear.
Will send details of how to do that later when these are tested.
blood drip (resized).PNGstrip (resized).PNG

Thanks horrorpin62 really appretiate your feedback.

Thanks

Had to double take that

Shift it further to the left plus angle left side away from back slightly.

Thanks for the post nice to get feedback.
Picture looks great by the way

Thanks for your post Chuck and glad you like it.
Really impressed with your photos too.
Think I need to update my phone

Thanks Jake for posting and adding pictures. They look great.
It's nice to get to see everyones setup and how they want the mod to look like.
The leaves do look good and an option for all to check out.

Overall theres 21 seperate animations but some are duplicates with slighlty different effects.
I decided to show all animations with an option to choose all animations ,Mike or Dr Loomis.
They are played seemless from one to another.

Should be an acrylic paint. Model type.
Color Jake can advise.

Thanks Robert for posting and again these pictures are great.
Love the small pumpkins they really do fit the scene.

I'm biased and think the clean green pumkins look good but got to say Jakers version did look good too.

Thanks David for your post and the photographs, really happy you like the mod.

Thanks Dave .
You need to stop playing it and finish your Future Spa

Looks good. Thanks for the pictures and post BeRad

delivered in 10 days roughly.

Thanks for the post and pictures Chad.

Yep going to have black,green,orange and red versions

Yep will do. Just printing a bunch up.
No probs on the forwarding the del for the paint job.
painting skills look great. Like the brown on the roof.

Its a slip on flexible wedge.
Has padded section on scoop and angled edges.

Works really well and can now hit scoop with ease on both flippers.

Had a frustrating time with the scoop when I first recieved the pin so was the first to tackle.

Just printing up a batch

Have three colors and black for the scoop mod pictured below.
PM me if you would like one or some.
They will be £10 UK GBP + P&P

Bloody good shooting mate.

The scoop mod will help but it's not going to put the ball down for you

Pm'd

You should have an email from me with a Google drive link for PDF instructions.

Thanks for posting.
Yep its pretty tight there so yes you can remove or lift the pumpkin light socket.
All the scoop but black are clear colors and will light up

Thanks, taken a long time to design and finalalise a version of the print.

Had a laugh making the ghost scene as couldnt see through the sheets.
May post the outakes one day.

Thanks for all that purchased the Halloween mods.
Hope you all had a good holiday break and great new year.

Heres an out-take for the ghost scene.
Had gaffer tape on the eyes so couldnt see where I was going
Made about 6 of these...

Thanks to Ann Marie for shooting it all with patience xx

Have a full range of transparent colors plus clear and black scoops.

scoop all colors (resized).JPG

Yep sorry for delay but out of my hands.
All have been sent.
I have a few that were sent at the same time as yours, That have tracking and they are stuck in USA Chicago Customs . Last dated note was 2nd Jan.
Sorry but there seems to be an issue of all items sent around the week yours went out.
I will email you the post label which does have a reference but cannot be used for tracking.

Big thanks to all that voted for the Halloween House mod in the 2022 Twipys.

They must have a Halloween Pin in Cardiff post depot

Thanks Samuel pictures look great
