Ghostbusters - Custom Pinball

[pinsanity]

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:

I saw this on pinside the other day, beautiful work. Do you know how he has done the playfield graphics?

[Homepin]

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

Is that a hearse in the background?

Can you then clear over the vinyl print?

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.

Very nice. I like the theme and artwork on this one. Great player as well.

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.

Stunning artwork & graphics.
Truly inspiring stuff.

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.

Yeah nice one, great theme! Is that a hearse or a ghostbusters mobile in the making?
