well, after seeing that and spending all that time on the playfield, are you gonna give the cabinet a go?
 @@* well done so far ^^^

I did think about it for 5 minutes. Reason I'm not going to repaint the cabinet is because the original art is intact and there's not that much damage or fade. I think it has "character" and I will leave it "as is".

Gee she looks nice... real nice.


Big slap on the back Nino... these last 2 machines youve done have taken you to another level and the results speak for themselves.

That is one tasty playfield!

Cheers mate - thanks for the help with the insert masks and your time answering all my questions regarding the Air Brush etc. Certainly opens MANY new doors for me. Actually, I should thank Timbo as well - but I was going to do that after the game is finished.

But you are right - Playfield restoration is a tedious and time consuming job. There are some aspects that you need to plan - such as the weather (when air brushing), playfield preparation and materials. I think I will invest in a proper Air Brush compressor..
