nice work Rob, and you do awesome work for an amateur, keep it up
and congrats on another bub on the way
Robs work is better than 90 percent of the so called professionals.
The funny thing realistically in the pinball industry is that 99 percent of people are self taught cause it's not like its a profession backed by Tafe or the Govt etc.
I think in this industry, a persons skills are usually matched and measured by their passion.
In this case, Robs as good as they come. His previous Resto jobs were stunning to say the least.
I know what you meant Jady by saying amateur but it just sounded weird although technically correct cause Rob doesn't do pins for his whole income. You know what I mean anyway.
But if Rob did do it fulltime, he would be very very successful.
It is 100% self taught. Some components are part of trades. 100% correct on the passion - and you can see how good Rob's work is and attention to detail. Not only the application of the decals in the photos, but the fact he is using genuine licensed artwork. Often critisized for being "back yarders", these restorers do a far better job that the so called "professionals".
Rob would be hugely successful if he took it on as a professional job.
