very cool work there guys

with the fireplace, my theory was as the playfield leans 6.5 degrees the grill should lean forward (but I probably underestimated - sorry if I did) and then when hit swings back against a switch. When not hit, the grill mounting points should rest against the unseen plastic verticals, alternative you could install a switch inside the fireplace for the grill to push on - hope it works

awesome work once again guys especially the insert routing and apologies about a couple minor fitting and design issues as never print tested just design straight to iMaterialise

have a good and safe week

as for things breaking, Good Fridays have never been good for me - with the worst about 8 years ago and the timing belt suddenly snapped and split second later the engine died, result conrods went through the engine and ended up with one stuffed subaru boxer motor - cost $5k AUD for a new motor.

The good luck was I got a $4.5k bonus from work the day before Good Friday.

hey guys, just woke up and joined the group, awesome work once again, the side rails look cool, love the picture frame idea and great work on the router

sideblades look awesome with then some stick on pictures will look sweet

make sure to add a picture of a dutch windmill and classic dutch scenery pictures as well

the guys do have large metal side rails - post #10713 but agree a small 25x25mm aluminum angle about 200-300mm long would strengthen the area up a bit more but avoid any screws along the weakness line as this will weaken the playfield

totally agree, the Dutch crew have brought us alot of creativity, originality and brought us into their world - always a great thread to join each week.

the side blades are tall and hide the cabinet sides

hey guys, good to see you again

nice work on the backboard and thanks for the support on the shirts Beard and guys

- bit of history I registered the business Swinks in 2000 and use to make surf furniture and loved woodie wagons so outlined an american woody and then shaped my nickname (business name) into the woodie in the wheel shapes and the surfboard. The orange logo was selected a few years ago as I am proud of my Dutch background with a bit of Dutch Orange

have a great night

the backboard looks super cool

hey guys, good to see you can chill a bit tonight the art will look cool, I like the touches where you look and find some small detail.

for some inspiration on another very cool custom planked monsterbash done by a dutchman as well

have a good night

nice shirt - I like the lime green

as for the trivia - I had to cheat and search and came up with Transformers 2 ?

screen-capture-26 (resized).png

haha - now that is cooler than the 2nd gen and makes total sense with the lime green

have a good night

spoke to Beard last weekend and no updates last week as they were waiting on art so might be the case this week.

Have fun "Amigos" what ever you are doing..

at least everyone is well, have fun guys

hey guys, welcome back and great update.

looking forward to all the pieces of the puzzle coming together

looking awesome guys, keep it up

Hey guys, looking awesome

so damn sweet, nice work guys - definitely has the haunted ghostly feel

hey guys, the game is looking great - doing really well

I still have a gameboy stashed away, and actually bought it in Holland 25 years ago when backpacking around Europe

yes I remember the Commodore 64 days at school, my dad cheapened out and got a Texas Instruments so he could self learn as he was going to teach it at school,, the funny thing was the kids taught him but that then made him a cool high school teacher...

hey guys I do these plunger plates and yesterday did a set for FunHouse and since your game has the talking heads I could do a custom one for your game.

It could maybe be Lord Grim plunger plate, maybe his face could be grey or white and whites of eyes grey and the background could be brown ??? let me know if you want to use this design but customised.

screen-capture-17 (resized).png

do you have a regular Bally / Williams housing and happy to create a plunger plate for you guys just to add a bit more creepy. I will mock up something over the weekend and send via pm for your approval.

hey guys, great to see you all here and at it - the game is looking great and love the small details "where am I". Love the VW shirt, Dick's jumper is cool but creepy and noticed the Commodore 64 tshirt - retro cool..

hey guys, looking forward to tonight's update, have fun

looking good guys, have a good week

hey guys, looks so nice with the protector over the art

well done guys

hey guys, already getting cool stuff done, have a top night

awesome work tonight guys and now am relieved that the fireplace is working - always get a little worried until I know things like this is functional - you made it even better with the spring - now just needs a cool fire glow when hit or game talking to you.

I was super nervous when I did this Get Smart Cone of Silence housing earlier this year that will eventually be clear plastic whic has solenoids in the top, the challenge was linear actuating the lift with the 90degree turn to lift the balls (max and chief) between the wireforms and then releasing onto the wireforms.

hey guys, great progress already, have fun

hey guys, the game is coming together sweeeet....

have fun

awesome work and nights progress guys

have a great week

Friday night soon here in Oz, we are all waiting for you

hey guys, what a bummer but you are all over it - end of the day still pinball and mateship

nice work, yes you don't want a floating boob in your game

yes I do too, but I suppose for the guys game imagine a saggy granny boob - there's a image you don't want to see lol...

great work guys

hey guys, we have unusually cold weather - trade you

have a great one and smashing it out of the park already, looking great

awesome work, have fun play testing

looks fantastic, don't forget the flickering fireplace lighting

hey guys, lots to catch up on
- like the avatar pic beard
- cool lamps as well, pinterest is very cool. Daughter is into art and hooked on checking it out and playing on the new wacom
- can't wait to see the fireplace
- wish I had a place to store pins, I have to sell, down to one now

game is looking great guys, getting close

here you go beard, daughter is 10 and did this last night - I was pretty impressed

called "Koiy the Fish"

koiy the fish (resized).png

awesome work guys, looks like alot of fun with huge potential - awesome package with the talking heads, best backbox designs and like the fireplace lighting and awesome glossy playfield

have a great weekend

hey guys, awesome work as usual and I totally agree with Art every Saturday morning Aussie time first thing I do is tune in to see what you guys are up to.

one of the best threads on pinside,

keep it up guys, have a good night and the pin is really coming together

A HUGE congrats on the Crazy Mansion pinball guys

It is an amazing creation and thanks for involving us in the journey - have fun

must say it is habit to check every week, but the guys deserve a break and just hang out, but hope they start a new build soon

what a classic, gave me a laugh, have a great one next week.

also loved the FAST and SLOW shirts - nice touch

Lots of Mr Orange's

Looking forward to seeing more videos, have fun

I get it though as orange is The Netherlands national sports colour - gave me a laugh - nice cool little video and great to see the full amigo crew in there...

watched the doco on the big screen last night and cool show and good to see the Amigo's there

would of love to see a quick museum look around - maybe suggest it - will get their one day but Aus is talking no international travel until 2022.

make sure to put up The Crazy Mansion for the Twipy's

https://www.thisweekinpinball.com/twipy-pinball-awards-pre-voting-open-now-2/

Merry Christmas Pinball Amigo's, am missing the updates - have a good as possible Christmas and stay safe

The Crazy Mansion is in the selection for Homebrew Pinball

yes sorry, TWIPY Homebrew - congrats for making the cut guys

Happy New Year to you to transprtr4u

here is the twipy list options

twipy list.png

my wife and I voted for the Crazy Mansion

cheers man, forgot that part - I voted because it was homw I started every Saturday morning by catching up to your build live while it was night for you.

also for the mod section I had to vote "move your snackbar" mod as the lighting kit goes into my snackbar kit, sadly I missed pout every year for the snackbar mod

fingers crossed

no, not super cheesy rather some acknowledgement of a cool project and pinball so others can discover in the future.

totally agree, twippy's are very select and homebrew should be a totally finished game, like last year jack dangers game wasn't even finished and fully playable no art yet won.

then Stern won the best mod ???? haha - it was just a later released withheld feature

love the Tiki Bar guys, looks awesome - well done and enjoy

the back drop wall looks great as well - what a awesome space

all the best to Beard and his family - get well mate

as for the Dart setup, looks good and the room is coming together nicely - a real transformation

signed into my youtube account and couldn't open as well

awesome guys, great to see everyone back and healthy and now even better with a well deserved award for your game

have fun guys

that would be very cool

I keep thinking of this song at the end of the week

Hey guys, good to see an update and hope all is well.
Games room looks cool, love the tiki stuff

please do, looks cool

cool video and cool headquarters - thanks for sharing

Or do a Pinball Amigo's pinball

3 Stooges crossed with Cheech & Chong, would be a laugh - need it more than ever these days
