Yuk!
Put chrome on it mate, like stern should be doing in the first place.

that's a bit harsh   %.%, a few weeks ago you were interested in a hulk LE...

That aside I do like chrome but since the cabinet has alot of silver, I don't think it will have the same contrasting impact and a full chrome package will cost a heap.

Wasn't menat to be harsh just my opinion..it looks well...Yuk but if you like it fill ya boots mate and go hard.

NEVER been keen on hulk le, I was going to grab the blue avengers pin ( very glad I didn't) and  if you recall correctly I hated that it was all about hulk when it was a avengers machine but hey whatever works for you. #@#

I am over all this powdercoating nonsense.

Please do NOT chrome this game
I saw some pics posted somewhere of someone who has done it already, just does not work IMHO

Is it wrong that i want to buy an Avengers just so i can put THAT card on it! Stunning!
and she is also on the sides of the backbox on Ironman :D

.....dont like the green at all sorry Jady, but u never know when u have the machine infront of you ?........

Since I have the Avengers Pro translite already, I will say that the only colour that will work with the PRO in my mind would be red, or
candy apple red, or a very similar, or same blue as the LE.

The gun metal grey they have chosen for the Pro works perfectly if u want to leave it stock. Black would have looked awful, so gun metal grey was smart. personally I like to keep my machines Stock and true to the designers orig thoughts, but bling doesnt hurt at all as long as it can be reversed.
Looking forward to the other colours just for comparison.

Also, all those cards u have done look excellent.  ^^^

thanks for the thoughts guys, hence doing it on a computer to get a idea before spending the dollars.

I would not agree with keeping it the way a designer made it - the Pro is a operators game so it has the industrial black hammer tone bumpy powder coat as per below. It may look grey but it is a flat black as per below image. Yes the contrast looks good on this one with the Stern stock black finish but still prefer the a metallic finish as it adds more depth and makes it look a little more classy and hot rodded. I will definitely do a red / apple finish and a blue finish in graphics to see and help others. I personally won't go another red / apple metallic as my Ironman has that finish.

This is why a chrome finish would not look good as it would get lost in the silver cabinet.

Hey, that bright purple they have used on the Pro factory flyer around the whole machine as a outline might look excellent.....

Do one with that if u could Swinksy.....purple might just work really well, and be very unique ?  !@#

Here is one last card set with a difference, with the team graphic and rules spread across 2 cards.

This way I could use a cool graphic showing the whole team including villain Loki.

You will notice a white line in the centre - trim here to divide in half to have a dedicated lhs and rhs matching set of cards. Sorry Capt American is halved, just the way it balanced out with the graphic that I found.

Let me know thoughts, changes to fonts if any

here is the red mock up, the premium is supposed to have a red apron so red trim kit probably would be cool and the premium also is supposed to have the pro decals

here is the chrome look, my apologies still learning illustrator - gives you a idea though.

To me the chrome may get lost in the silver decals

the red would have to be alot darker to look better i think.......

my choice still leans towards stock/gun metal grey or maybe a dark blue..........I will have to wait til i see the machine in person to really decide....

good work on the apron cards and the different colour side armour Swinksy.
