Quoted from Jedi_Gill:

Lior has made a bridge for Godzilla Premium/LE owners. I thought i'd share.
Here is his website link to purchase it.
My honest opinions on it, it looks good but I actually like the color of the original. This sticks out a bit more on the playfield as the game does have a bluish theme to it. Also you can see the crack on the bridge at rest more easily instead of the acrylic glass and that kinda bothers me a bit.
I know my opinion might be of the minority and others will like it so I wanted to share this with all of you.

Now you have mentioned it I can’t unsee it, your 100% correct the colour tone of it is all wrong, more silver/blue tones would have been ideal and made it fit perfectly.

Personally I think the Lior stuff is getting a little too over priced and all this limited edition stuff has put me off a little.

I've always thought his stuff was expensive, BUT when you think about the amount of design and processing time that goes into the majority of his stuff, and how thorough his designs are in general; nothing really comes close

Hello.
Is there somewhere i can find a 3d printer file for a bridge mod for a PRO modell?

Thingiverse. Search train bridge. You’ll find some that people on pinside are selling.

These speaker lights are awesome! Does all of this come in the one kit from Doug or do you have to order the city overlay separately?

You have to order the city acrylics as an add on.. I also added the white mesh diffusers

I also thought the color was off, but I am thinking when you put all the mods he will eventually have for Godzilla, it will blend more... If not, I may paint my bridge...

It's the main reason I installed Sleals ufo and shield mods instead of Liors even after having bought them first, I think they are both fantastic but art is subjective

I think it's the building that's throwing it off and once Liors building comes out I think it may change the color palette

Found this at a toy shop. Didn’t grab it but I’m thinking I might go back and grab it?

Added to two comet spotlights, just to brighten up the middle PF a touch more. Game by no means is dark, just had these on hand!

There's also another company that made a speaker light kit set with a somewhat similar effect... can't remember the company name. (Are they reading, by chance?)

i seem to recall that their controller had more lighting effects options, including a somewhat similar "flaming" option, but because theirs used a single controller the flame effect was identical on both left and right, whereas Doug's is different between left and right (which I certainly preferred, but that's a question of taste.)

Throwing this out to all the mod pros to see if they can make it happen (forgive me if it's been mentioned). Make one of those little tv mods like in bm66 that runs Godzilla clips.

I'll be away on vacation this week, but I'll be working on the video for this when I get back.

The displays I've been using for the last 7+ years became too difficult to get (it's been backordered since August). I switched to a different display, so I had to slightly alter the model to accommodate. I have a waitlist of over 100 for various titles, so if you're interested, I'm hoping to get caught up when I get back.

Thoughts on the Wizard Mod side blades? Not too impressed with the Stern version. Like to get mods in advance of my game showing up one day. Thanks!

#1773 1 year ago

All the inner art looks pretty good. Don't forget about Tiltgraphics inner art. I went with these as I just wanted scenery, not the monsters. Very pleased.

#1774 1 year ago

I went with these.
(Think I got them from Retro Refurbs)
Wanted more blue and “lighter” shades on sides
Also more focus on the Jets, building, trees etc.

Looks like a city.

Not a fan of the look of the monsters either on the other blades.

The wizards are cool blend playfield to sides and up well, the Stern blend the PF like it fades out into the sky ,plus they are zombie yeti art.

My 2c. Both are cool i'm sticking with zombie yetis vision.

Im purchased neo side lights with the uv . Seems like they will block out the art blades over 30%? Is this a mistake ?

Retro refurbs. If I remember correctly.

If it’s a choice between these or sterns, it’s sterns all day and twice on a Sunday for me.

Both have monster design but sterns matches the colours and artwork of the playfield as they are done by ZY, the ones you posted seem to have used various ZY assets and photoshopped them in a collage.

I actually like these. Embrace the destruction!

I was thinking mirror blades, and still might, but I like these too. Would love to see them installed if anyone has them in.

#1784 1 year ago

Just finished adding some highlights and weathering to the mazer Cannon. This piece has some great detail for the size, 1/88th scale, a little smaller than hot wheels. attached a before and a few after pics.Again, if only I had a machine to put it in. I was told August when I ordered in December so hopefully soon.

I like the mud on the tires. Nice touch. What paint did you use? Airbrush or paint brush?
thx

#1786 1 year ago

Maser looks great! Nice paint!
Where did you get it? Only place I can seem to find is eBay at around $80...

Quoted from izzy:

The paint is a mix of testors enamels and Vallejo acrylics. No airbrush just washes to bring out the panel lines and dry brush.

Quoted from mmarino123:

That's the one. Found one on eBay for 60 bucks loose, but it was sold before I could pull the trigger.

Man, that sucks. I've not yet straight cracked that tower in half, but I have knocked a few spicules off its sides. One thing I will say is that material is very responsive to super glue, and I'm sure you have already taken it off and glued and replaced it already, but man, sorry that happened.

Same thing just happened here! My 4 year old had an air ball. Glued it back, and the zips are just for support when curing…hopefully good as new!

Edit:
Removed the zips, and it’s rock solid. Able to wiggle the hell out of it! Super glue is such a great bonding agent for 3D prints/PLA

Tom told me to use CA glue, the stuff is amazing

amazon.com link »

Awesome! I actually have some of this stuff, so I’ll give that a try.

It’s been a trying month to say the least. A few weeks ago I noticed my clear coat was cracking around the magnet area, so much so it was actually peeling up the art work underneath! Used this CA glue to fill the area and press it back down then put a Mylar patch on top. So far it seems to be working perfectly. You can still see the damage if you’re looking straight down on it with a spotlight but overall it was an impressive fix! And yes, Stern is sending me a new playfield but I doubt I’ll use it unless things worsen.

Sorry to see that dude but glad to hear Stern at least sent you a replacement playfield.

Anyone else had any damage around the magnet? First I have seen.

#1800 1 year ago

That's great that you were able to repair yours. Mine took an airball hit a little higher to the thin crossmember areas -- snapped the tower in half. Superglue won't help this area.

I just received the towers three weeks ago.

I love the mod, but can't really recommend it if this is how long they might last. As is, I'm out a fair chunk of money and only have the two remaining towers to show for it.

Mike
