Bit different this one.
Planning on restoring my ToTAN - one side of the cab is very faded, and the other side is fading.
As Planetary Pinball no longer stock the official cabset, and seem uncommital on restocking them, I've bought and been very dissapointed with several sets of cab decals for this machine. Both colour match and print quality have been miles off - even I can notice it, and I'm colour blind!
So I've taken to Photoshop (which is an amazong piece of software by the way), with some pretty sketchy graphics and cleaned them up and colour matched with the least faded part of my cab. So far I've invested well over 100 hours into this - and driving my family mad (e.g. asking "can you tell me if that colour matches that??!" about 15,000 time this last week!)
Question is - for those that have a great quality original cab (or lucky enough to get your hands on a set of official decals) - could you let me know if the colours and images are close to what they should be? I'm worried that the least faded side is already miles off.
Here is the least faded side of my cabinet:
This is what I've managed to create so far with Photoshop:
This is the back box art I've managed to produce:
Front art I have:
Again - anyone with original kosher art able to compare what I've produced? Ideally share a colour sample (close up pic in bright natural light) of any colour that is off, so I can create a better match. Also - I'm keen not to over restore the images - and keep the colouring techniques used on original cabinets. If you think I'm missing that - please give some feedback/reference images.
Thanks
Mike
