Around as terrifying as I imagined.
Good job!

Thanks for sharing

Got a chance to play this at ReplayFX. i actually liked it, but a standout is the art--awesome job! Really looks great. If it drops in price a little, I may buy one (hard to drop $5000 when a Stern Pro is almost the same price).

Nicely done and fits the feeling of the show well. You're very talented!

My favorite part of the show was catching a glimpse of the poorely hidden strings, or noticing some of the buttons and knobs in their cockpits were really just knobs from a stove or other home appliances. Or the landing sequences of the thunderbirds were just the launch sequences played backwards because all the smoke would get sucked back into the jets.

Thanks for sharing your work with us! You definitely captured the essence of puppets in your art.

I liked the puppets when they were smoking cigarettes and shooting guns. And that one time when the hood buried that dude with just his head sticking out.

the art is the best part of the game - like how it is very vibrant, and good on you for sharing that you did the art - compared to everything else that is secret squirrel

Yes very cool. Can you share any words from the process, did you have free reign, much restrictions, any direction given from Mike?

Again great job. Always liked the show as a kid.

Your art is fantastic. Congratulations!

I thought Mikes' son was doing the art at one stage? Are you Mikes' son?

Awesome.

The art looks fantastic. I really like the vibrant colours and all the little details you were able to get in there.
Nice work.

Love your work! Looks great, thanks.

Creepy marionettes

Adds up now because there was mention in the past of artwork input from Europe.

in reference to the secrets, I mean the playfield design, programming, music as he claims people want to remain anonymous

And years ago Mike did say his son did art for Disney and he was going to do it

You may as well edit the game details to what you did

I think the narrative changes for Homepin depending upon who his audience is.

Originally touting it as true blue 100% Australian designed machine using family members on a parochial forum like AussieArcade would have been used as a selling point to gain preorder money and since the membership over there simply accept everything they are fed at face value from the higher ups it would never have been thought/dared to be questioned.

Lots of time and details in this. The side art is my fav. Excellent work.

Excellent work. I love the bright colours, the caricatures of the International Rescue team and the ships are fantastic.

Nice work that is representative of the original series. Thunderbirds Are Go!

Cool, looks great!

And I learned something from this thread: THIS exists!

are you mental? The artwork is shocking. What does Scott Tracy look like on the play field? Scott Tracy that ate all the pies! The artwork is seriously disappointing.

Those who ignore history are condemned to relive it.

2015: Preorders who paid in 2013 will receive their machines first. This is a screengrab from the local forum Aussiepinball in March 2015 as a response to one of the faithful when the machines were only "weeks away" from completion.

2018: Now shipping the first off the line to Canada. Obviously in need of a fresh cash injection to keep the lights on.

No doubt there are a few Aussies who are now reaping the whirlwind for their unquestioning blind faith from years past despite being shown and told repeatedly by sceptics about the warning signs.

Hope they shipped a ton of parts with them

"We will make replacements parts available for the lifetime of the machine" was one of the express terms in the original preorder contract from memory.

But then again so was the contractual representation that machines will ship by June 2015 so take them both for what it is worth.

Time to get the blue pencil out again. LOL.

I think you guys have the wrong thread.

Not at all. The recent information posted in this thread has clearly been read here by an Aussie preorder purchaser and subsequently copied over to the main thread this morning to validate his grievance.

Fortunately I archived the original Homepin threads in their entirety quite some time ago from the local Aussie forums before they got deleted/hidden from public view.

As long as the info gets disseminated to aid preorder buyers the method is irrelevant.

It will be interesting to see how the rest of the artwork gets scrutinised in the flesh now that the originally advertised electroluminescent headbox artwork panels have been removed from all machines.

I love the artwork . It is amazing . Cabinet side beautiful .
Very good job in my opinion

I own one and love the artwork. I like the game look overall, that part he got right.

Our condolences.
