Putting in pinball work
Tomorrow I’ll go through Funhouse and that’ll mean I’ve got 8 machines nicely dialed in.

Shadow Bling
Switched all the star posts to purple and put purple post lights under the slings. Also replaced the old spotlight sockets with matrix since they were so ugly after repairing the solders. It was nice because the matrix posts lights and the spot light all tie in together now. Finally got around to installing the…

Rearranged the line-up
Making room to work on Taxi and set up some art studio space so I can make paintings again. Will end up bringing big guns to the office but need to finish up some work on it. Planning to repaint the space mission cab this summer, then maybe that gets sold. I think the garage…

Almost almost almost (Shadow)
Everything is done except putting back the brass wire forms. This thing is like a freaking puzzle. It’s probably going to take me another 2-3 hours but I should be playing by the end of the weekend! Did the rest of the plastics, the battlefield apron, slingshots, installed diverters, plugged all the wiring back in,…

More Shadow progress
Got more done on Shadow tonight. Tomorrow the left diverter will go in and I’ll start putting the wireforms back on. Can’t believe I’m getting so close!
