Clearcoated yesterday. 4-8 for curing and polishing then. Its been a long journey. Slowed down due to few personal and health problems but officially finished

Wonderful work, the transformation is incredible

Outstanding you have skills sir!

Wow, I still keep getting surprised by the ability of people here

That is truly impressive work, I doubt there many people who could do this even with the specialist tools available.

It would 100 % be a labour of love, I would guess the tiny amount of people who might be able to do it wouldn't due to the time it would take

At the end of this you must have the most expensive Mario in history in terms of labour costs

May I ask why mario? The challenge?
Personally I never thought the game was particularly good and I love the mario games but one man's pinball pleasure is anothers pain.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words.

This resto is for one of the members here but I must admit, i quite like the theme too and it will be bit hard to let it go now after the time spent together

Finally polished and holes re-drilled. Back sanded and hard-oiled
