Ghostbusters - Custom Pinball
« on: March 24, 2012, 10:34:28 PM »
Whilst we are on the topic of custom pins, here is another from the US that is nearing completion.

This is a one off private machine built from a converted Flash Gordon (the FG was completely trashed).

From playfield concepts to finished product:

Modern wide format printers and excellent programs like Corel Draw make things like this a doodle....looks good.

I helped out on the playfield overlay. The first one was oversized & a second one was done. It is cold laminated over clear color film. You apply it wet, & cut out targets, lanes, etc. You prep the playfield by sanding, cleaning, varethane coats, maskining for white, applying white base paint, layers of varethane sanded smooth before applying.

The first pictures are the overlay on my light table here in Halifax. Overlays don't need any clear coating, color on clear film, & then cold laminated on top! I hope to do a few custom pins myself, & help others looking for overlays.

If anyone is interested in doing a custom pin with a playfield overlay. It's about $150 which gets you the overlay & masking for white, + shipping.
