I'm starting to put these out into the wild now after being tied up with some other mod work for a while. See attached video for a little footage in the machine. As mentioned previously, I've aimed for a translucent finish that allows the light through the resin to give a bigger light impact than I've seen in other saucer mods. These are hand finished, but there will be imperfections as you'll see in the pictures and video, but I feel that these are acceptable from a players distance. This 'should' fit Davey's Lollipop light rings too - hopefully he'll be able to share more on that in weeks to come. These are £40 plus postage if you're interested. At the moment I'll just take orders for me to start work on the batch, and payment will be once I'm committed to print.
Cheers!

It’s been nerfed since the first score but it’s no simple mode to get. Expect it will get nerfed again.

In the last few days I've been testing the Spike2 compatibility of my Lollypops board in my Godzilla Premium.

3 x LED/Sensor combinations:

1. Lolly LED Ring in @Jazzbouche 's amazing UFO mod, triggered by the pop switch
2. Single Lolly post light in left sling, triggered by sling switch
3. Single Lolly post light in right sling, triggered by sling switch

This leaves one port free - probably to implement sirlonzelots's awesome backbox lighting.

SWEET!! That looks wicked!! Awesome stuff.
 
so do I have to order some bits from you and something from JB?

also now that you've finished the proto do you still need the GZ premium ? :D :D :D

No idea actually... we are playing it fast and loose at the moment!!

I still need to work out the installation method, since at the moment it requires cutting the LED ring cables and reattaching at the other end, since the wire holes are already packed tight due to the 2 cables from the RGB insert.

These might work for that purpose, and not too bulky:

I'll order some, and will chat with @Jazzbouche about what he wants to do.

GZ - best game I've ever played. it won't be leaving in a hurry!

Could certainly be linked in yep - it's just a question of whether those saucers have space in them for an LED ring?

Yeah, sorry matey, was thinking 3 x @Jazzbouche UFOs with your lollipops.
If it was doable, then trying to figure how to Mount the other two UFOs in the PF positions.
I think with your Lolipop lighting it would look fantastic.

Oh right well that's defo doable then, just like you say, working out how to mount them would be the biggest hurdle. JBs ufo is designed to be fixed to a pop body, so if you could find locations on the playfield to fix those, screws for example, that would be your best best, since the pop body would act as a bit of a plinth (and hold it all together). Clear bodies would work nicely.

After that, you'd just need to have a think about which PF switches triggered them.

Okay after having a chat with all the relevant parties, we're going to move forward with providing a kit. This will include:

1 x Lollypops controller board (runs the LEDs and the sensors)
1 x Jazzbouche UFO mod with RGB LED ring lighting
2 x Lolly RGB starpost lights (both slings)
1 x RGB LED strip and channel for the backbox (atomic breath)
1 x backbox bracket to mount the LED strip lighting.
All the necessary extenders, sensor cables etc

In a nutshell this would give you an interactive lit UFO, interactive sling postlights, and an interactive godzilla atomic breath effect in the backbox. By 'interactive' I mean that the patterns are triggered by in game switches. You could tie the backbox atomic breath pattern to whichever switch you wanted - I've been using the bridge newton ball which works well, but you could also use the 'atomic breath' button in the lockbar. The Lollypops has a 'fire' pattern which I'm guessing is the same algo used by the CIRI and by the DugFreez flamin' speaker lights (its an open source algo) which is the one that will be used for the pattern in the backbox.

The intention is to make the backbox bracket compatible with all versions, pro/prem/le (ie, whichever direction the atomic breath is pointing).

I'm in the process of working out the backbox bracket system, LED strip channels etc but when I have all the details I'll post photos of the kit + video demos. Reply or PM to get on the list.
