nice progress guys, looking forward to the next instalment

where will the dmd go or will it be placed inside the playfield?

looks great, nice original idea.

probably a silly question to ask but rather ask now than later does the apron vuk fit under the glass?

homepin is doing a similar version pop bumper as well

looking awesome guys

looks great guys, nice work

was playing the apple tv minions game with the kids yesterday, is the pinball going to have a collect bananas feature like Congo collecting diamonds?

nice first attempt and good to know, thanks for sharing

could you not apply some vaseline / oil to the letters for a easy release not stick solution ?

would agree with the talc, I know in various industries they use release agents in steel work and concreting so figured maybe something like a smear of light colouress grease or maybe even a silicon spray

looks great, very nice

looks great

great work and enjoying the development process - coming to together really nice.

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

top work on Gru's car and the volcano, looking like a awesome package, well done.

looking sweet guys, always look forward to Saturday's to read what you did the night before.

nice clean up job on the baywatch and great that you found a cnc guy

nice work guys...

I like the grey sub playfield, ball might disappear in the black. Maybe a dark purple on the light grey ?

also interested to see how those inserts will sit level as not alot of edge for the insert to sit on, is this just testing insert size?

nice work, will the new pf have art or just a whitewood assembly to check and fine tune remaining parts

looking great

I did notice the new pf is missing the groove for the ball launch, ball trough mech, flippers etc, assuming they will be worked out on the game...

good point re the holes

maybe with the plunger lane that you can carefully file it out with sandpaper around a piece of dowel / broomstick and get the shape before going to far - nice way to expose the grain.

keep up the good work, inspiring...

but I got the idea off you so it was your idea wasn't it.

yes sad that has happened, maybe next time get a local pinhead to get the parts and ship to you.

as for the shooter lane, nice work, you made short work of it - and was only trying to be helpful - which I am sure you saw it from that angle.

look forward to the next fun update and really looking forward to seeing the art.

well it's friday late afternoon here, looking forward to the art reveal......

a cousin who lives in Zevenbergen just sent me a pic of the conditions there - hopefully this doesn't slow you up tonight your time

man that is bad..... then we have the opposite of estimate 40 deg C today

very cool

that is looking great, great nights work.

looking awesome and I too am a little jealous that I don't have a crew of local mates to do a build, must be rewarding but also great motivation.

also one minor concern for the shooter lane (you must think him and his shooter lane) that the scallop won't have any protection so you might see accelerated wear here.

are you guys then going to put water slide word art on the inserts?

cool and currently attending shooterlane-o-fobe anonymous

I knew it would come off wrong lol

love the ideas

coming together beautifully......

looking good, great progress

here is something funny until next weeks update

coming together great

lookin great guys, always look forward to Saturday morning (here in Aus) updates.

It's Friday here, waiting...............

yeah I had a good laugh as well

this game looks so good, congrats and well done

curious if this game will rotate around the 3 amigo houses?

awesome work Mic and thanks for sharing what you all do

bummer, make sure not to throw it away and make a spare for keepsake as well.

nice work on the strip down.

after copying as a template,I would be even tempted to draw up in cad or send to your cnc buddy to draw up and have on file for future reproductions - alot of valuable information there.

Your playfield looks awesome, great work Amigo's

the backbox looks incredible, lots of great ideas.

looks great,

who's holding the game up.

yeah I know

your shooter rod needs some modding now

decal something like this for the plunger plate

index (resized).jpg

and a custom shooter rod knob which could be the minion one eyed glass with a eyeball decal in the centre. Happy to design the custom metal shooter knob for you guys and then made by Shapeways and epoxy in a shooter rod.

let me know, free shipping this weekend.

they are not my art designs, just net screen grabs but can design the custom glass shooter knob.

I will design the custom shooter knob this weekend for you, chat soon, but you will have to get Mick to work his magic for the eyeball decal.

if basic metal version, my shout towards the project.

here is a start, then place a decal inside the recess of the eyeball - outer diameter is 37mm

CAD is not the best for a decal concept but can do the shooter knob in metal and you guys do a decal

eyeball 2 (resized).png

I did some tweaking and ready to order one and send it your way.

render is on a black stern shooter, with a minion plunger plate and shooter knob.

thoughts before I order the knob.....

hey j_m, 27.3mm id

don't worry I have cringed a few times as run a maintenance trades team for a hospital including all the WH&S system .... but often the WH&S system is over the top

keep up the great work..

that last pic of Jpop looked almost like Chevy Chase with long hair

hey guys,

shooter update - currently in the packing phase, hopefully gets to you by next Friday

the lockdown looks great, is the material fairly durable?

looks awesome, still super impressed with the blending of the subway playfield into Gru's back

you probably have found these but if not might help

http://www.soundboard.com/sb/minions

that looks sweet and the apron came out real nice - well done guys

looking good, nice work as always

top idea and very effective

yeah it finally arrived, hopefully it meets your hopes and expectations,

nice work tonight guys and like I have said before very inspiring thread and build

look forward to next weeks reveal

hope you guys had a good Kingsday, Friday night here already

just woke up and keen to see the shooter rod - looks great with the decal

- when gluing the new rod in, use the 2 part araldite or equivalent that sets in 5 minutes
- the small hole in the back is to let air out so it doesn't become a shock absorber with the rod wanting to spring back out
- and make sure to take note of the distance between the end of the rod and rear face of the shooter knob where the spring rests against is the same from the old to the new - sorry if you know all this

cheers jady

looks great guys and just seems like Stuart's eye pops out of the game

love the details and look forward to a game play video/s and the a new big reveal.....

the coin door is great, especially that decal.... sweet

that even looks better, great work guys

congrats guys and sounds like a cool theme

also the video doesn't work...

lol,

looking forward to game play vids as well as your new thread (maybe put a link in here as well when it is ready).

and if you need a hand, just yell out or if you want to adopt any ideas go for it.

cheers

I was stoked to be mentioned, had a laugh of how I was mentioned but in the end I didn't do much. Nice work to the Amigos and all that contributed

nicely said, look forward to the next game

thanks for the Saturday morning fun and reading that you guys have been providing for a while. You collective efforts on this game has been incredible and just looks fantastic. Gonna watch the videos now and look forward to the next game / thread.

recognition is awesome - now you just need to add some data

have fun at the show guys.. look forward to some show photos

do they still have the UFO (Evoluon) at Eindhoven? I think it was Philips in the 80's when I went there.

really the pinball show is there at the Evoluon, cool

thanks for sharing and the Evuluon is how I remembered it, cool place for a pinball show and awesome that you are getting so much interest.

any signs of the dutch built Timeshock game?

Thanks for sharing the show guys, such a cool location and awesome amount of machines, would love to go one year when they have it there again.

very cool video - I am coming to the next one in the Evoluon

have fun guys and look forward to lots of pics

am late this week, but great work guys

awesome, 2 threads back and running, have fun
