Amazing ability to have the foresight and understanding to recreate this backglass. Bravo! It is an amazing talent that you have between your ability to draw at this level and then to bring in color tones that make the art pop. Simply amazing!!

Thanks for all the words!!
Now I have doubts in my mind! Noooo!! I thought every one was going to say left lol
Will wait for the test print to see how it looks on the machine.
Quoted from hassanchop:Will wait for the test print to see how it looks on the machine.
Translites do look different once printed. Your printer should be able to guide you some on that however.
Quoted from Langless28:How many pins have you done so far?
The main ones I have done are Congo, TWD, DM, BSD and Thunderbirds.
I used a different technique on each one. I like to do various techniques and try new things all the time. On T2 I am using a much more realistic hand drawn technique.
Lamp position test is done. All the gi lights and flashers are on the correct position as I wanted. You can put 2 red leds on the main face's eyes and one on Arnold on the left, on his endoskeleton eye.
As usual the pics don't show the power of this correctly. The pics all look like shit but in person it looks amazing. Tried my best and even changed from strong leds to normal bulbs.
Already know which adjustments to make
With strong cold leds. With red leds on the center eyes and the left: You can't notice much with the pics:

With normal bulbs. (Red leds on the eyes are still in place):

Video that shows the flashers on the correct place hehe. There is one on the center face, right in the middle, that is not working on this machine:
About the blue tones:
Making it baby blue to match the blue tones of the pf totally changes the machine. It looks like another machine and it has nothing to do with the movie. In many machines the pf doesn't match the rest of the game, sometimes even the cabinet decals have nothing to do with the rest. This one has everything to do with the game, but the strong blue needs to be strong to make the translite as powerful as possible.
I might offer the 2 options if the opinions continue to be divided
Added a few reflextions and adjustments here and there. Turned down the presence of those 2 hunter killers in the back a little because they had way too much influence on the art.

This should be done and ready in a few days.
Wow this is really coming together. I can speak for the fact that these Feds designs always look so much better and such high quality in person .
However I do think these pics look great. Excellent job lining up the bulb spaces so the lights have a real impact on the art and the game.
Quoted from pinchamp:However I do think these pics look great.
Yeah they do! What I mean is that compared to what your eyes see they look like shit hahah because it's so much better in person
Changed the title to BIG SURPRISE because I got a big surprise for the fans!: A new totally different version! The LOS ANGELES 2029 A.D. version
The story: For many years I had this idea to make a LA 2029 AD version for the T2 machine because it has so much more to do with the machine and the game. So much more about this part of the movie (after the nuclear war) than the rest. So this idea seemed like a good one but never got the chance to make it.
Before I started this project, the first thing that got into my mind was that this was a good chance to go ahead with this idea but I was never 100% sure of the outcome. Or if it was something worth putting out for everyone to see. So I decided to make it at the same time the main one was being done, but kind of in a secret way lol. Now that both are finished I am totally happy with this version so I decided to show. I hope you guys like it.

Talent like yours is So impressive. My limit is sidewalk chalk. I really like the surprise addition. If offered I may buy one and I don't even Have this game! Just love owning unique talent pieces. Bravo to you!!
Quoted from Mudflaps:Nice!! I may get one as a wall hanger. Still loving the TWD translite.
Agree, this deserves to be lit whether you own the game or not
