Waterworld
Gottlieb, 1995Almost done with the PF swap. Certainly the most complicated one I've done. Bought a NOS PF from PBR and had it clearcoated. New ramp, decals and wave. Added a few mods, Dennis Hopper figure with a spotlight on him, spotlights on lower PF, a spotlight on the Dryland plastic behind wave and led's. Installed and lit up photos to come.
Need assistance installing, still recovering from back surgery. I was able to work on it on my rotisserie.

I am doing the same thing. Mine has wear in the exact same spot as yours. I bought the NOS playfield from PBR and it looked great. I already clear coated it and it is ready to swap. Haven't started yet but I am looking forward to it. I have done several full restores but I have never done a playfield swap. I think it's a fun game that gets panned because nobody liked the movie. But hey, I liked the movie too. 
People dismiss it right away because it is a Gottlieb and also because of theme but it is a really fun players game. You also don't see many of them so people who have never even touched one jump on the it sucks wagon. You can't beat $225 for a new pf and nice job getting it all back together.

Looks great. I would love to get some time on Waterworld one day. I know I am in the minority, but I loved the movie.
