Here is an update of where I am at as of 20/3/2013.
Have sanded back all the flipper wear, the  ball chute and ball arch to the best it will get ( for now any way )
Started painting the play field with acrylics and found this to be very relaxing and therapeutic ( fully recommend giving it a go ) PINPRICK gave me the confidence to give it a whirl.
My christmas wish list is a airbrush/spray paint kit as brushing by hand SUCKS  @.@
Although it is not the greatest of finishes I am very happy to this point. I still have the reds to touch up and apply the fine black boarders with an oil based marker pen ( correct me if I am wrong )
Some minor bits have to be attended to so like the rays of white/blue heading to the GOTTLIEB  sign in the front centre.
Then a nice clear coat mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Also had some FANTASTIC news last night with Lee from Pinball Rescue confirming my NEW plastic set are nearly here  $#$
It is coming together nicely and hope to be finished this year ha ha  %.%
If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.
