Hi guys

I'm obviously rather new to this forum, been lurking for some time and only recently registered after my recent (and first) pinball purchase.
There aren't any virtual pinball build logs on this website and given i've been working on mine for several months now, i figure i'll contribute - there seems to be increasing interest in these things, so......

* Own cabinet design, based on Williams Widebody dimensions
* New black powder coated legs, adjusters and feet
* New Williams side rails
* 2Pack primed and painted cabinet
* Custom Vinyl artwork - much thanks and respect to Stuzza
* 2Pack cleared cabinet (inside and out) and over artwork
* Corsair 4.1 sound system
* Real coin door and service buttons
* New Williams side rails
Screens

* 46" Full-HD LED LCD Playfield
* 32" Full-HD LED LCD BackBox
* XPin DMD & PinDMD2
Electronics

* Intel Quad Code i5

The machine is still very much a work in progress with about a month or so of work - mainly installations and wiring before this thing comes to life.
In the meantime, enjoy the progress pics....but firstly, some up to date snaps :)

Build Log to follow in subsequent posts...

Sinbad79:
The machine was designed by myself in Solidworks based on dimensions i found on the net and verified against real machines.
Here we have a few images of the laid out parts on the CNC, ready to be lifted, sanded and put together dry (without wood glue at this stage - that comes later)

Mock-up assembly - the ease end beauty of CNC technology!

Hi Sinbad
Great post      Stuzzas artwork is impresive   Im building one and also have gone for a  46 screen and a 32 back box which  should be good .

I have to ask how do you think you will go setting  it up   it can be quite complex   We have had our fair share of problems 

We have found PinballX to be more user friend  than hyperpin       I wish you good luck with the project and will watch with intrest     Howzat

swinks:
cool artwork and will be watching with interest, thanks for sharing
