Looks wonderful. I'm sure the new owner will be more than pleased.

Looks like you missed a few spots in the bottom of the backbox with your nifti :)

When it does arrive I have a set of mirror blades that I will install. Wasn't much point in spending postage sending it down to Nino given the baldes are a 10 min job to install.

For this one I wanted the look of an updated STTNG that was close to a high end restore without going way over the top.

Nino has spent many hours on this and has done a fantastic job.

Hopefully the next pin will be a Paragon (which didn't make Nino's last shipment), but want that as close to original with new replacement parts as possible but no additional bling. But that will be next year.

The ColorDMD adds so much to the game. Almost Mandatory for this title !

Nino,

It is gorgeous, I am just so excited that it turned out so good.

This will be one of my most treasured pins!! 2 things will be added when delivered, mirror blades and domes for the cannons. I will post a couple shots when done.

Thanks again Nino for your dedication and time to the project.

One of my colleagues has pointed out I've made a boo-boo. Literally as I was about to pack it. Wonder if anyone else can see the obvious error  :D

I'll be in the garage reverting it back to the way it should have been  !@)

Ah the cannon ramps are around the wrong way, and cannons should face each ramp more to the left and right instead of straight.

I love the Colour DMD.
What makes the colour happen? or is it all ready programmed into the ROM?

Sometimes it takes a fresh set of eyes to point out obvious mistakes, often when they are right under your nose.  

Looks very nice. Congrats on making it look new again.

ColorDMD only supply their products for games they have written code for. There is a final step where the installer has to update the ColorDMD with the most recent code for that game via USB. The display itself is a color display that is almost twice as big as the original DMD Display. The code is what produces the changes in color with the game software. It is a very "smart" system.
