Wow... looks great guy;s.
I see you have change the right loop so you can shoot it now with the left flipper.
Its almost time to make a playwood version of it.
Next dpo expo is 2017 so you have plenty of time to compleet it.

can;t wait to play.

Bitmap fonts work very well on something like a dmd, that has a very small pixel grid:

20 pages in and this thread continues to impress. the team's energy level is literally through the roof. hat's off to the synergy the three of you seem to have

have you considered using a color dmd solution instead of the standard gas plasma? if so, I would be more than glad to lend my services in helping you create and color some animation sequences (I couldn't bear to see lapnip steal all of the thunder in assisting

Yeah,that was too narrow, but it will be perfect in the end Wil.
We are also going to shorten the shooter lane too make more space.

We decided to use a computer lcd in our next build, we like the old school look on the minion machine.
We know there is hilarious material from the movie at hand,we will be asking you for help on the next build though!!

I gave you a thumbs down because you are obviously a cheap-ass and should have chosen a better shipping method

respect the project!!!

So far so good, but will it work?

Ive been following the project since your first post and it just keeps getting better and better, the attention to detail guys on the house alone is out of this world!

But I must have missed the idea in this update while in hospital. That ball return from the sub playfield via the VUK is awesome

Well luckely you made it out of the hospital too!
Thanks, we were pretty happy with the magnet ball lock and apron vuk, the last one being a first in pinball we believe.

#970 7 years ago

So tonight mic's attemt to make a clay mold we need to vacuum form the front clip of gru's stainless vehicle.
We want to add a garage in gru's house.
It needs to be a plastic mold, we want to airbrush the vehicle and put rivets and such on it.

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#971 7 years ago

We bought 10kg , that will do

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#972 7 years ago

Mic's freehanded template!

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#973 7 years ago

And off he goes( it all depends on mic's skills here, dick and i, we clay like 5 year olds)

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#974 7 years ago

We also decided to change this situation, the purple hole had the wrong vibr and we did not like the droptargets too..a bit lame..
So now we have serious holes in our prototype field

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#975 7 years ago

Made some inserts and glued them in

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#976 7 years ago

There should be something right here!

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#977 7 years ago

That is the correct location, feels right.

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#978 7 years ago

Quite an assembly to relocate

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#979 7 years ago

Meanwhile...Mic is still claying..

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#980 7 years ago

Bending some stainless..

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#981 7 years ago

We will be putting in another switch over here, we need more!

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#982 7 years ago

Yep,way better

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#983 7 years ago

Just checked, mic is still claying!

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#984 7 years ago

I will solder about in the meantime, can't have a switch without wires..

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#985 7 years ago

A rubberband and posts for the gi light

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#986 7 years ago

Yes mic has got the clay touch

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#987 7 years ago

man you guys have some crazy skills, love how you casually say just bending some stainless yet it's ended up looking perfect

Do you have much of an idea when you may have the game complete? You seem to be progressing pretty quick for such a complex project.

#988 7 years ago

We will have it done quicker than we could imagine, but remember that we have to take out the entire playfield again and re install everything on the final field.
That is something we don't look forward to...that is going to eat some time, along with adding the artwork.
So the finishing touch will probably eat up half a year.

#989 7 years ago

Trying to squeeze in a socket for our new yellow target (blue)insert, crowded area!

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#990 7 years ago

Meanwhile ... Mic is claying

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#991 7 years ago

Mic in hyperfocus

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#992 7 years ago

We have this amazing tool made by the bosch company, it is an electric stainless cutter, it goes through stainless like a scissor through paper.

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#993 7 years ago

So after adding some length here with the welder

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#994 7 years ago

We make a template,

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#995 7 years ago

And cut the real thing

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#996 7 years ago

Meanwhile mic got distracted, and made a clay snake

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#997 7 years ago

Gross labour

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#998 7 years ago

We decided to leave the center grill out, otherwise we cannot get a vacuum there, we will make a steel grill anyways

image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg

#999 7 years ago

nice progress guys, found this and probably 2 late but might be of use

That switch will never fit through the playfield from the bottom!
