This is one of the best threads on this site. Sorry to hear the ramp didn't work out. I'm sure we all know that feeling of working hard on something and it not working out. But keep up the great work! Can't wait to see all the future updates.

Yeah,well,failure is part of the process..
Gonna make a better one!!
Quoted from pinballrockstar:But a lot of work wasted,i thought the curve would make it look nice, but it shoulds like shit
After looking at other pins,i realised ramps are straight in the first part and later on they bend.
Stupid...but hey, we"ll make a new one
Dick says it is shit so it is going
The ramp is to wide for the curve so it bounces the bal to the left i think, and if it makes the shot the bal is going to lift from the ramp afther the highest point.
Make a roof at the ramp after the highest point so the bal gets forced down.
I hope you can make it work because i like the disign of the ramp.
Look at got pro it has also a high lo point.
Keep going i want to play this mother fucker pin.
Hey pinballwill! How are u doing sir
You know what actually happens?
If you shoot the ball into the ramp, the ball hits the left rail and slows down,then hits the right rail and stops before it gets way up.
I am determined to make a good shooting one.
But it has to go straight for like 8 inches, so it goes up full force,then bends to the left where the angle of the ramp gets lower and then rolls down on gravital force.
I was just stupid,if i had looked at the pins i have in my collection..i could have seen that.
I think i learned through this failure though.
Think for you start making such an important piece.
Bug the fingers are always itching and they overrule my brain every now and then
While i am tooling on the upper playfield code a bit tonight ...we need to add the 4 yellow targets up there to the code in a way that if they are lit altogether,the targets lights should give a light show(to confirm you hit em all) and the rollercoaster tunnel light should activate so you can shoot the extra ball over there.
Then mic sends a whatsapp,he turned his c-class into a decepticon!
Quoted from Fairground:Every boutique builder should have a broom in his toolbox!
I keep breaking mine
Yeah those australian brooms are bad quality
It's friday!
We are looking at my kids monopoly game
Quite inspiring,the inside has gru's laboratory printed.
So we might just make the subway ball lock area some laboratory artwork?
We'll come back to this later..

Don't forget shovel handles, etc. ... gotta have all the different sizes for various uses
(I recently used a broom handle to hold cable spindles while I ran wire).
This continues to be my favorite thread on Pinside. Your creativity, camaraderie, and joy is really inspiring! Keep it up!
