Another big improvement there Nino  ^^^ .. think I would fail before I even started tho as you said one of the required tools is a steady hand  %.%

Absolutely - it is still a big learning curve for me. I dreaded attempting this section as I had not airbrushed an area this large, and I had struggled to match the color previously. Luckily, my wife is good at color matching, so it came fairly close. Close enough for me to be very happy.


Looking sweet, Nino.  The "serious" hours continue .... you must be getting close to this one being finished.


Only the Blue area and the white lettering to go, then a clearcout for the lower section. In hindsight, I should have clearcoated the entire playfield, but that's ok - I'm happy to have learnt what I have - so far ! I'm really keen on playing a game when it is finished, but to be honest, the artwork and the condition of the playfield is something to just "look at". There's something about 60's Ballys that intrigues me.

Thanks for the comments guys - this restore has dragged on a bit !
