Flash
Williams, 1979I just wanted to share my custom pinball work. I know I had a few dozen questions when going about re-making the playfield and backglass. So I wrote up a one page web page to share my experiences. I hope you like it . Thanks. CW Here's the link:
Wow! Fantastic job! I may even like it more than the original. I always though the artwork on the playfield was a bit busy.
Amazing work, thanks for the link to the website.
I have thought about doing this for many years, you make it look easy.

Update: I just found the name of the font used on the Flash playfield and backglass. It's called Neon Lights. I've been looking all over for it. Would see it pop up on 8-Tracks, old T-Shirts, and even a sub sandwich wrapper. If I only had it a year ago. I ended up vectorizing some of the letters and numbers one dot at a time in photoshop. Took a really long time. This site is blocking my upload, I can send the font thru e-mail if anyone needs it. Here's a pic:
Quoted from cwg29:Thanks again, took it to the Zapcon pinball show here in Phoenix back in April. A little nervous (pinball crowds can be tough) but I got good feedback.
I think I'm the tough audience you're talking about! I like things to be original, all incandescent, toy and mod free. That's just my taste, not knocking anyone else's preferences. Also Flash was my first game, so I'd be especially prickled by a re-theme.
SCREW IT YOUR FLASH WAS AWESOMMMMMMEEEEEEE; I played it like 75 times. Look forward to seeing it again, just so interesting! My precious Flash is garbage compared to yours, haha.

Oooh rad find on this font, too! I (lazily) always wondered where I could find it.

Careful, your inflating my EGO! Look it's so big I was caught playing my own machine at ZAPCON. (I do not know the person who took this photo)
