Quoted from SkyKing2301:

I'm working on a scene/mod over here. This orange/pink plastic is weird and I disliked it right out of the box. Cars belong on roads.
It's an interesting mech design, which complicates the design a little bit, but I'll be able to work around it. So far I have the plastic replacement modeled, printed, and fit-checked -- so with that baselined I can now start working on the rest.
Here are three views of the OEM plastic, for reference:

Here is one version of the replacement plastic temp-installed, to help decide which to use for the roadway. The sparkly black is the same one used in my Red Barchetta mod, which looks like fresh dark asphalt -- but with all the black in this area of Bond, I'm not so sure, it kinda gets lost among the blackness. Plus I'll need to make an additional piece to cover the metal, because it contrasts with the dark pavement. (Might make a cover regardless of final color.)

So here's a different one -- this is "stone", a warm gray with dark flake that looks pretty good. I'm not sold on it though, so I have a few other filaments on order to help me find just the right one. In the meantime, I buttoned the game back up for the night with this one installed. I swapped out the red post with a gray one for now, to blend in better.

Honestly, this configuration already looks a lot better than the orange/pink plastic setup, so this could be a bare bones / "entry-level" variation of the mod if there is demand.
Stay tuned for more updates, and we'll see how close it comes to what I envision.

Quoted from Flyboybuster:

I’ve had the screw for this post back out on me twice in the three weeks I’ve had the machine. So I did as any amateur machinist would do, over engineered the problem and made a bracket for it. I know that post takes a beating and has no support. Seems it was bound to happen.

Quoted from Dewback9:

Finally got the game to where I want it. Shooter knob turned out but I still need to add the netting on top of the Vulcan. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from stumblor:

Looks awesome Had. The idea of doing the leather gaiter like that is genius!

Quoted from Desmodromic:

This is really cool, well done! Did you use an actual shifter knob? Looks like it? The shift boot is a really cool touch.

Quoted from NunoDirector:

You kill it with the lights! Looks awesome! how you do it?

Quoted from Allmoney:

Finally finished up a shooter for the thunder ball theme. [quoted image]

Quoted from NunoDirector:

Loved the lights on your DB5 man! Nice idea! Was it hard to drill the holes for the led lights? And did you wire it with the flashers? Super cool!

Quoted from Viggin900:

I 3D printed a Walther PPK with silencer and placed it on top of the combo ramp. I love how it looks and makes the game feel very spy-ish! The red light flashes below the trigger and the barrel highlights the inlane just right. It makes the game shots feel more risky.

I added grips to mine to match the Bond version. My wife liked the feel and size of this so much she is going to get the real one![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from gumnut01:

The pops are easy to get without coming out of the left eject. MB are not modes. They don’t build towards wizards except for bjb. I’ve had about 20 pinsiders reach out and ask for this mod before it has gone on sale.
You’ve already stated in the forum that this mod isn’t for you. Thanks for your opinion here as well. I understand and respect that people will want to keep their game as stock, and this mod isn’t for them.
For people who are sick of:
continuous rebounds back in to the eject,
unfair SDTM,
Too much time having ball away from the flippers,
unearned bonuses and mode completions, playfield wear
and constant flipper passing from right to left
then this mod may be for them. It is completely reversible takes 15 minutes to install or reverse out.

Quoted from gumnut01:

Already posted in the 007 thread, just reposting to be in the correct spot.
Love the game but not so much the left eject. Either just bounces back in off a post as it ejects, completes dragon targets for me or goes SDTM.
Thought a vertical kicker into a wireform to mimic the db5 on the other side would be cool.
Improves the flow without affecting the game.
Doesn’t hit any switches or score any points just returns to the left flipper cleanly and consistently.
Had this idea, has become a reality by Ypaddave
Dave has worked tirelessly with my input to produce a worthy addition to the game that looks like it was always meant to be there. It sits between the Connery full length picture on the playfield and the extra ball inserts, it doesn’t cover up anything. The current decal is the famous rifle barrel design and we are working on that to make it more special.

Have put on 20 games with it, much more enjoyable, less stop and go and less chaos.
Does not make the game easier!
Lastly, the stock standard eject is causing playfield wear, this will reduce the risk of playfield damage in years to come.
[quoted image]
VUK power can be turned down to cause no stress to existing wireform.
Mod is totally reversible.
Just a sizzle of the prototype. Final will be chromed and matches the db5 ramp. More to follow.

Here’s a clip of me playing badly with it. Hopefully you get the idea.
