Awesome job

I am a purist and usually frown on these types of jobs but you have convinced me.

That PF looks CRISP! Usually WMS of this era are full of crazing and ball swirl.

Awesome job

Looks fantastic!

I could be heading to Noosa in August for a few nights, if so I will definitely be searching out this shop for a game!

As usual, very impressive work Gav. This looks better than the original to me. I bet the customer was stoked when you turned up with this masterpiece.

That is a very slick job all round . . .  $%$
I'm curious to know what technique(s) and materials you employed to produce that way cool backglass/translite?
I'm about to do a custom Addams Family Values one for myself, any advice or pointers would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Max

I have to admit that although I spent 4 days in Noosa 2 weeks ago, the only time I found myself down Hastings St was at night, when Noosa Longboards was closed! However I did see it through the front window, and the neon sign out the front looks great! Next time i'll try harder to have a game!
