The Addams Family - BLACK Conversion

[Pinprick]

Hi John

I got the Blank format from "Balls of Steel" sadly, WMS made him shut that site down.
If you like, I can email you the image if you PM me with your addy. It's 322 Kb in JPEG.
I normally open it in Photoshop & type in the details.

That's actually quite funny (if ya don't have white hair  )
Thanks for the compliment young fella.

Now the fiddly part or perhaps piddly fart? Has begun with hand brushed black (see pics)
More fun to come because the mortar lines will be tuck pointed white.
P.S. The red arrowed & circled bit is to remind me to touch up the cracking.

Wow, I didn't realise how serious this conversion was! Great work to date, I am now intrigued as to the final outcome.

[Caveoftreasures]

yeh, its starting to look real good. 

perhaps buy a set of addams family gold decals from that phoenix guy in the USA and this machine will go right off for sure. Its going to be amazing from what u have done to date. maybe some blacklight lights (like on viper night drive) with some black n silver spiral balls and the whole thing will look the goods for sure. either way, i think u have started a black addams family trend.

Finished tuck pointing masonry with white paint (pic)

Now it's time to effect all the very fine touch ups on the P/F, especially the Mansion.
Luckily said Mansion is in great nick and doesn't need insert decals or an overlay.
After all that, I reckon I'll down tools and have a f**king coffee break.

Hope to add more pics later when the P/F comes back from my mate Marco the wizard clearcoater.

Thanks very much Mark
The whole thing was inspired by what you guys did . . .
So it's all your fault!

Man this is amazing ive never even considereded adding an addams to the collection but id seriously conside it if one came up.   Not that i would have the patience to make it look like yours 

[carnut]

wow, incredible.
nicely done.

Minutiae:

(1) Coin eject custom insert
(2) This label overlays that awful P/F barcode
(3) Custom plaque nailed on below shooter housing
(4) Low pass filter inductor coil (value calculated thanks to Dzeidzik's site)

[HOW]

Wow! Incredible dedication to detail.
Great stuff.

P/F ready to go for clear coating.

Snuggled in an adjustable box - one size fits all?
This protects the under P/F goodies and keeps overspray out of the works too.

Now I just have to wait for it to come back, which is generally the hardest part
