Quoted from markmon:I put mine in a fish takes dome and printed a background onto that. Really seemed to finish it up.
I like that. Might have to play with it. Good job.
Hmmm... A $10 toy sword, about $15 in colored domes/bulbs/wires, maybe $5-$15 for a stand or display box. And people are selling these for $150-$200???? No wonder this hobby has become truly ridiculous.
Oh yeah... how PRETTY!!!

You missed labor and shipping 
Looks great I have always liked the look of this topper/mod.
Quoted from Slate:Are those wired up to each tale and they light up per tale?
Yes, they match the tale lights on the playfield.

Very nice.
Quoted from markmon:are you the original designer of this? I got it from pinball decals a while back. Such a nice job

I like this idea. Nice work. Got a better picture of your background you used? I may do something similar to mine.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:I like this idea. Nice work. Got a better picture of your background you used? I may do something similar to mine.
PM me your email address and I'll send you the picture I used. You can use it, modify it, toss it, whatever

I used a block of wood and a router, some paint and photoshop.
I went and built a few more of these toppers for kicks and to maybe raise some money for X-mas. If anyone needs one PM me.
