Nice looking game, no idea if it's that valuable though.

Wonder which game he covered up in the photo and why that one??

Me too, should have asked him.
I sent him a message asking him about the spider effect paint and he said that he bought the last can from a craft shop about 3 years ago.

I did a quick Google and found this:
http://www.montana-cans.com/products/cans/spider200ml/montana-spider-200ml#more157

I have since sent them an enquiry to find out if the have an Oz distributor.
If its the same stuff it would be worth getting hold of.

Hi All,

Answers to your questions.....

Yeah, It's a Sweet Hearts machine. Only covered it to get the World Fair in frame. Hate to be selling, but I am out of room. Love the game.

No it didn't sell so I'll need to put it in storage.

The spider web effect is great. I'll try to find who I purchased the web paint from and post the address. It gives a really original look.

Cheers
