    Quoted from GreenMachine19:

    Love this theme. Love the re-engineering of a lot of the mechanisms. I realize aluminum is much easier to work with than steel. How do you think that aluminum will hold up against the pinball itself? Are there a lot of areas where the ball will be taking shots?

    Interesting point, aluminum is softer than steel. Since parts are at least twice as thick that should more than compensate. That made me think why not machine some pinballs themselves out of aluminum? Of course they wouldn't last as long as steel but with the reduced weight they would fly! They would probably be right between a ceramic powerball and a conventional steel pinball as far as speed goes. It would be a worthy experiment.

    Cudos to SickNate for this amazing project! I wouldn't be surprised to see your new style pop bumper adopted commercially. Brilliant design.

    Quoted from SickNate:

    Got the ramps back from welding awhile ago. I went with 20 gauge and if I could do it over would do 18 or 16.
    I’ll just consider these R&D and if the geometry is good , redo them then.
    Everything is a lot bigger IRL than what I think it will be drawn up in CAD.
    I’m kinda on the fence if I should polish all the metal parts shiny and chrome , or leave them more rugged and apocalypse[quoted image]

    "we will ride shiny and CHROME all the way to the gates of Valhalla!" Was a great line in the movie when they used silver spray paint to paint their mouths. So, a silver powder coat on the ramps might tie into that nicely. Another idea might be to get a printer to print wraps for the ramps simulating the reddish dirt roads in the wasteland maybe even with some of the vehicles printed on them. If the ramps tie into a chase mode in any way that might work. I'm a sucker for chrome but this is such a great theme the options are endless.
