So far, looks good, gonna glue the bottom piece on tonight once I get home from work then test out the fit. I did it in two parts for a few reason. The biggest is the amount of filament it saves, the second is time it takes to print.

I love the look of the silver station, but it's a little dark during game play. But I also like that too cause it gives it an eerie feel to the game. It does show better then what the camera picks up. And green mode looks bad a$$. I think I would add a spot light to it maybe off one of the ramp post to make it shine more.

Yes a Pinballbulbs double spotlight would light it up really good

Am I remembering correctly that once upon a time you were considering color options and some mod alternative? Or did I dream that up from somewhere else?

I'd love to have some different color options but the truth is I'm not a very good air brush painter. LOL The only successful color variance I did was a silver one. But I can sell a clear one and maybe someone like Modfather could paint it up for ya. I would also love to do a different, more modern looking ship but between my job and my 3 year old I haven't had much time for pinball mods.
I'll repost the silver one, I have it on my machine and love the look.

I like the silver one. Have you tried putting a couple American flag water slide decals on the inside then painting it?

That sounds like it might be pretty cool

I will stop in my local hobby shop this week and pick up some decals to try. Request on where you might like to see the decals?

Wherever you think, just remember to get them to some kind of scale. That station is supposed to be big so don't get the flags and/or USA to big. Make sure you test it out on a piece of that plastic first, no telling what the paint will do to it, heck it may disolve the decal.
