"THE LORD OF THE RINGS PINBALL - CUSTOM APRONS " (STERN) in develop. Modding project
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction: I´m Mikonos and I´m 19 year old in arcade and pinball hobby. I´m the webmaster of a fansite called "Zona Arcade. Construye, Restaura y Decora tu Máquina Arcade y Pinball" (14 years old) too. I always had same nickname. I´m a fan and a huge collector of arcade and pinball cabinets, and other items related. Some year ago I realized that I like so much to restore and customized artwork, it is my main entertainment. I think I´m good at working with design programs. You can check my skills in this pinside thread in which I´m compiling my artworks about pinballs.

I´m not a shop and I´m not working in a printshop! Sorry for it! I´m only a fan. I learned all about design and print materials by myself, I´m always looking for volunteers for testing of my new mods and ideas, I look for new restoration challenges and more. If you have a good idea about a mod for your pinball, tell me and I will try to make it a reality. I work designing and restoring for free because it is fun for me!

"THE LORD OF THE RINGS PINBALL - CUSTOM APRONS " (STERN) in develop. Modding project

I started with a project of customizing 3 main aprons of "The Lord of the Rings Pinball". I had this idea: I have a complete scan of original apron piece and I will add a good background fo every apron and gold details in die cut vinyl.

Opinion and improvement suggestions about this project are welcome! All users are invited!

Please, it is important an useful appraisal, both positive or negative. Be constructive with your criticism, in special with downvote!

Thanks for comment!

Hi jbovenzi!

Yes, these artworks are for one of my users, he requested me something custom for his pinball and I thought some special thing for him. He wanted some specific themes for every apron, but I will customize my own themes for these same aprons ahead.

I will print all of them in 2 week! Results will be epic!

Thanks for your support!

Regards

Hi StrangeSubset1!

Well, I never make selling post because I like to design new things and get new results, but I have not problem to take your request and order a copy for you, if you like print results, even if you want your own customization.

I´m designing alternative versions, but I like to show print results of this original version first.

Thanks for your comments!

Hi pinsiders!

Hi Gotman!

Thanks for your comment!

Yes, no problem! ...but with a condition: I like to design new aprons. Choose between creatures, characters, themes, scenes or like you want about "The Lord of the Rings" for every apron. After that, tell me them and I will do a money estimation for your own, unique, exclusive and customized aprons.

Example: I like to see Balrog in righ apron. - I like to see Nazgûl horse riders in centre apron, etc.

Note: You don´t need to look for images, I will do it; you only have to say me what do you want to see.

Regards

Hi jbovenzi !

Thanks for your comment!

I think is a great opportunity to get something customized special for you. There are a lot of beautiful themes for "The lord of the Rings", even I would break with the classical shape of aprons. I have a lot of ideas, like design "Khazad-Dûm´s Door" with silver "die cut" vinyl for one of the aprons.

Limit is imagination!

I will show new designings for Shooter Apron in a short of time. Are beautiful!

Regards

Look, this is another shooter apron option:

Hi Yelobird !

Thanks for your comment about my skills!

I will explain it for you and others users: It is not enough to know that my work is good in opinion of other users, I need to have fun with my work. This is reason because I don´t want to open a selling thread. I know it will be a very successful thread, but I don´t want to print the same again and again, and become myself in a slave.

I enjoy challenging myself with hard restoration and new customizations in special!

I don´t want to sell, I want to enjoy with it! This is a hobby for me, we keep it like a hobby!

Regards

Good, Yelobird!

Can I customized this set for you? You think that results will be better that you knew in this thread for now. For example, I worked in a Left Apron for LOTR with a balrog theme.

Regards

Hi Jimmyapple!

Thanks for comment!

I have some incredible pictures with One Ring for Centre Apron. Pictures I saw with a Balrog battle are beautiful printings. I thought that I could design a set with painting images.

A long of the day I will show a Left Apron with Balrog picture. Tell me your opinion.

I explained it in previous post for one user that made me a request, but I will told about it again: I could order copies for users interested in explore new results. No problem!

The main thing or this thread is go further with new ideas and concepts for LOTR Arpons. For example: at start of this thread my concept was to mix die cut gold vinyl with printed vinyl, but we can imagine new results.

pipes, if want to make a request, you can make it here or in my mail: [email protected]

I will not publish a selling post for it.

Following with quality drawings, I designed this Centre Apron:
