Toppers
« on: May 08, 2009, 09:34:36 PM »
I know a few collectors who have some cool custom toppers on their pins.
Just wondering who else is into adding toppers? Has this been done on our forum before?
Anyway, here are some pics of my attempts so far . . . . . . I'm still working on others.
I'd love to see pics of any that you guys have done.
Cheers
Max

I love Robby the Robot !  Did you know he was designed by the same person who designed the robot for Lost in Space.. Robby the Robot also appeared on an episode of Lost in SPace.

Nice Toppers

Thanks for the kind remarks guys.
Daniel et al: yeah, please post some piccies (obviously not the porn or we'll get slung off APA)
Photos would be fantastic, even descriptions are great . . . . . I'm looking for inspiration as well as being genuinely interested.

Hi Dean, interesting factoid about our metal mate. So he matched it with B9 on lost in space - missed that episode - damn.
Of course Robby was the best actor in the classic "Forbidden Planet" from 1956. I was 4 years old then and except for him the movie scared me sh*tless. Now I watch the DVD with nostalgia.

Hey Daniel, love your pics. Those Coke stands are pretty neat. The drag mag looks good too. The stick books don't do a lot - or do they? Does your plasma ball work? I had a skull one sitting on SS but it generated RF and made it buzz.

Yeah the plasma ball works but its never on.  The car in the mag is a hotrod me and the old man built and as for the mags they have been there that long i dont even know what they are might not even be porn lol.    And the coke stands are cool i had a heap more of them but those people who really like to bump the pins broke em on me lol

I haven't put it on the machine yet but this guy will be going onto my Tales of the Arabin Nights.




I wanted something to match this DMD image.

Not a custom, not a reproduction - this is an original Gottlieb header from the early 1960s. This was the one that Pinball Rescue used to copy to make their reproductions  *%*
