Complete Monster Bash - Full Works

I like to use the lift bar in the mid position when working on pins. This puts localised strain on the PF so I have added an additional right angle section to spread the load as follows:

Cab decals done now.

Note I sprayed the front corners and lower sections of the cab in matching Blue enamel so that when the decals are trimmed the exposed cab edges match.

I have a thing about creases around the legs and will go to great lengths in avoiding them. I normally fit the steel leg protectors but am not always happy about the standard positioning and fixing.

Thus I have cut sections out of the rear ones so they can be mounted higher and also added two extra fixings per protector.

The rears normally sit lower and can catch. The standard fixing screw is also too low in my opinion so with my mod sits higher.

Looks like you're doing a great job. I don't mean to nit-pick, but in the picture showing the reinforcement you've added, one of the jet bumpers is visible - there's a washer visible under the 5/16" nut securing the linkages to the bumper ring. Is that the washer that should be fitted above the linkages?. I appreciate that it may have come to you like that, but factory fitment had thin washers between the shafts and the metal linkage, with the elastic stopnut tightened straight onto the fibre linkage.

Very nice.
Please don't get Elvira and Bride of Frankenstein mixed up. I do like you're custom paint jobs on the figures though, well done.
 
That looks amazing!!!! The lighting is exactly what I'm after with mine just to bring it to life a bit. What did you use for your GI, are they superbrights?

Actually I can see the one under the slings isn't a superbright looks a bit like one of those premium 2s

I use a mix that includes Superbright Flexis #555 Wedge and Premium 2's Non-Ghosting #44 Bayonet.

I get mine from David (Pinball Led UK). He is on this forum and gives a discount to members. I don't use stock kits/layouts and instead spend a couple of weeks fine tuning bespoke setups. Hence I generally order many more than I need and David is great at refunding what you don't use.

When reproducing the serial number decals, I couldn't find the correct font for the Ilinois address and finished off reproducing the font dot for dot (!) . Did you find the actual font and if so, which one was it?

Also, when reproducing the fuse list decal for the backbox, did you correct the mistakes, or reproduce them also?

Finally, why are you so sensitive with the serial numbers? Am I missing something here?

Thanks!

Another quick point, it would appear that Frank's arms need adjusting. As far as I'm aware, when he's "lying down" his arms should be flat with table.

Good job though!

Cheers,

Goz
