Hi pinball lovers, .... the pics I put up represent where I'm up to. The head is finished (theoretically). The repro glass looks good to me. There's a close-up of the balls..To refresh your memory, #s 2,4,6,10, and 15 I made up as they were missing. It was hard to paint the white spot and do the circle and number in black. I also added stripes to #10, and 15. The playfield is at an interesting point. I've worked on the green on the pool table, the cream of the arrows, the yellow at lower playfield and the blue on the guy's shirt, as well as the pop bumper circles. ... I'm not sure where to stop. I could do the whole of the yellow, but would that not destroy the 'life' of the machine? Same argument for doing all the pool table green. All opinions considered and appreciated, as I'm really not sure how far I should go. The rest of the yellow is reasonable, with some crasing, and minor chips and blemishes...but overall, fair enough. Hence my hesitation at what to do??? I still have to work on the 'Gottlieb' sign at lower playfield, as well as redo the lines I took out with the respray. If anyone has a couple of tips about using the air-brush, that may also help. This machine is my first experience using the air-brush. Mostly it goes ok, although the cream for the arrows kind of 'clung' to the sides of the stencil in a way that the green never behaved??? Was it too thick? too thin? Some help would be great. Anyway, I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. Happy trails, Mark
