Hello all together,

since a longer time my hobby is in special pinball modding. Perhaps many of you have seen my projects in the web or on other locations For future i´m looking for contacts and guys which can help me (perhaps) for my new projects for next year so i decided to show more about my work in this forum.

This year my project TAF - Widebody will go now to his final and for next year i will built up a complete new Indy pinball machine. Also i´m thinking about a rebuilt of a Gottlieb Krull machine but for this project i´m looking for good pictures; better pictures as i can find in the web. Perhaps there are guys here at this place which can help me in this way.......

For more informations about my work with many pictures please look at my web-site; all about my work is without commercial interest and it´s only my hobby!

If there is much interest here at this forum it is possible to show more about my work in the project board.....

Thanks very much and i hope you enjoy my work..... and sorry about my bad english.....

Hello guys,

thanks very much for your really nice replies!!!!!!!

Yes i will keep you updated about my work and project as soon as it´s possible and i find time for write about it here at this place. If there is more time i will look more about our postings and work here at this forum. Also i will posting about my new project which will start at 3.January 2009 here in this forum under the section "projects"

I think the TAF will be ready before Christmas - perhaps beginning of December. Now there is much work to place all parts to it´s correct place.... and it´s not so simple like with an original playfield. In this way you have the original holes for the screws but now i must look for the right place so that at end all will work correctly.

But now i will speak a litte bit about my work from the last days.......

Pic 1: There must be a modification with the inserts lightning of Cousin It. The original electronic plate was to small because now the inserts have more wider distance at my playfield; and for first i decided to place single lamps; but at end i parted it in two sections.....

Pic 2: and so the same happened with the Jackpot Inserts lightnings.....

Pic 3: The underground Lane in her old dirty condition......

Pic 4: and then after good cleaning with wax..... for this i prefer and like most the american "Rallye Cream Wax" not very many german people know about this perfect product.....

Pic 5: For first the "Thing" was cleaned completly and then i give Thing a dirty appereance, i want to have a more dirty hand ) and so i give to it some of brown silk screenprint colour.

Pic 6: Now it´s time to remove the brown sreen print colour with screen print thinner; and so it will be only colour at places it must be..... and the finger nails get some red colour )  you know the Addams sometimes little crazy in her head and perhaps Fester makes Thing nice fingernails ))

Pic 7: The bookcase in it´s original condition; very damaged and much dirt........ so i put it first into all parts and cleaned this parts complete. There will be a complete new set of plastics for this bookcase and the bookcase will be changed in some details.... but more about this in next time.

Pic 8: The bookcase is cleaned and i placed it into the playfield; much work because it must be placed correctly in the middle of the hole......

Pic 9: and for the last now one picture from the underplayfield´s condition: It is now for 90% ready; now i´m waiting for replacement parts so it will go on in some days with the rest of it and then the really work ON the playfield begins.......

If you have any questions about my work or other feel free to ask me ......

Story will be continued in next time,

much greetings from George

This is truely awsome !

Thanks for sharing your great work with us, your work is something we dont see very often. You are really into your hobby and it shows, two thumbs up my friend, the result is amazing !

Cant wait for the videos of the game in action

Hello again!

Sorry that there was so long time no message from my project and work but one reason was my old webbrowser ) i work since today with the old Netscape and so it was not possible for me to look back into this forum. But today i changed to the Firefox......

My TAF goes into the final round and all what happened in last time you can see on my homepage. The homepage is also changed in a new outfit so that it´s more easier to find all about my projects. Also you find there my guestbook and if you write some comments in this guestbook it would be nice.....

The TAF will be ready for play i hope in time around christmas and a video will be shown on YouTube (perhaps beginnig of 2009)

The next projects will be start under the sections "projects" with a new thread.

Much greetings from PinGeorge!

Hello guys,

what happens in the last time? Not so much because i´m working in so many other areas and in last there was not so much free time for the final work on my TAF. I think it will need until spring 2009 that he will work and play for first ....And there is another reason because my head is full with many new ideas which i will realizing in next time.But in the last three weeks i made some new mods and i will show you now here at this place what happened:

Take a look to the pictures and you will see what happened. ALL plastics were made completley new with new designs and i like mostly the plastics from the slingshots. There is only one plastic which is the original at the vault; all others must be new because they have different dimensions like the originals and i want that it will get a complete uniform design to the playfield and the rest of all.

crazy, man.. it looks great!!  How did you make the plastics?  Did you silkscreen them yourself?  Or are they labels?

Hello all together,

i stop my thread now here at this location because i can´t work at all places. In this moment i work more for my new homepage which is available in german and english! It will be a homepage with many backgrounds and informations about pinball restoration and about my special pinball work. Feel free at every time to take a look to my homepage which is at the following location:

http://www.specialpinball.de
http://www.specialpinball.com

And if there are questions you can ask me at every time.....

All you see at my projects is produced in silk screen technology...... and in short time my new self constructed cnc milling machine will make the new playfields for my next projects.

Thanks very much and i will visit your forum in next time because there are many! interesting projects and work from the other members!

Greetings

PinGeorge
