Hi everyone,
I would like to share with you my latest work of restoring the playfield.
The playfield was in very bad shape and after scanning it, our graphic designers spent many hours recreating the artwork, focusing especially on the constellation design. Another challenge was to match the original shade of blue, as the playing field had blue colour variations from the game's aging and wear.
After consulting various online sources and images, we believe we have successfully identified the original blue background. The rest of the process followed our typical workflow:
- removal of the old artwork
- conduct multiple tests to ensure correct alignment of the holes
- simulate the colours on the bare wood of the playing field until obtaining a faithful representation of the original design.
The end result of the project appears to be very successful. Our customer requested a glossy clear coat for this playing field, although our preferred option for future releases would involve a semi-gloss finish.
Your comments and observations are appreciated.
