Pics of the finished glass!!

pic 1 &2, with and without camera flash respectively

And finally a pic of the glass backlit, just with a clip on desk lamp clamped to the jig.

Same as most of the BGs i've worked on there are a couple of bits i havent done, only very minor flaws, that either are not that noticeable or just too hard to try to repair. Anything i havent touched up, has been sealed with TT if its backlit. the rest is sealed with the silver paint.
I think there comes a point where you have to draw the line as to how far you can go with doing this kind of thing, as well as a limit to how much i can charge for doing this work. Suffice to say, a LOT of hours went into this backglass  :D

Anyway i'm confident Andy will be happy with the work i've done, if it was one of my BGs i'd be quite happy to have it how it currently is  *%* *%*

Well done, I think its a major improvement and would be very happy with the result. I wish you were closer to me I have an embryon bg that needs some attention down the bottom. I should take a photo to get your opinion and advise
Still loving my Metallica Premium

I'm stoked...simple as that.

I'll let Mitch at the playfield next and then I'll start on the easier polishing and bogging up. Cabinet design is geometric for the most part so I'll give it a go down the track. This is a dirty battered old thing...not as bad as a lot of the outright back from the tip stuff Ive seen here but still a lot of work.

P.S. This is a great bit of Gordon Morrison artwork....heaps going on, weird electro-gizmos everywhere, a funky rocketship, mum and dad from Lost in Space and the coolest looking tilt light in pinball. Find a big pic and check out all the action.
