Title: Jurassic Park Gates Mod
Post by: swinks on April 30, 2015, 05:41:47 PM
I was recently asked to design the gates by a AP member and we started to get some info together and then yesterday I saw that a US guy announced that he was doing this mod and already made some good progress. So I have stepped aside but thought to post a link and video for anyone that wants to buy his mod as it does look good with 8 flickering lights and has operational doors that open and close.

Note: not my mod

he has finished the mod and simply contact him if you want to get one off him.

Here is the latest version including stepped columns, Jurassic Park text, working gate that comes on with Bone Busting Mode/Victory Lap Mode.
Also includes the surprise I was talking about!
Jungle/Jeep backdrop (final design still needs to be refined) and white LED to light up backdrop when gate opens (you'll notice it go off when the gate is getting ready to close). Watch the video at the bottom!

Cool mod - big improvement on the original. Shame he beat you to this one Swinsky, but then again from now you'll be too busy at work & playing your Kiss Pro  *%*

Yeah a AP member asked me and then next week I saw this in development. I wrote to him checking and he said he was going to be selling so I just stepped back but gave him a few ideas.

Yes if the new job is good I will be doing mods just for fun and good chance of a Kiss pro.  ^^^
