"THE CRATE" £130 + P&P

Just finished a mod for TWD.
Pictures and video below.
Slides onto the hump section of the left ramp and is triggered by the pinball rolling underneath.
Easy install.
Zombie inside will raise the lid and try and break the chains.
Its pretty fast so you only get a glimpse of him

He's painted and has reflective opaque eyes...
His hand grasping through the hole of the lid.
Has a hook on the playfield side for added movement.
Chains all round crate.
Clear ball activated lever underneath so can be lit from under the clear ramp.
Detailed by hand. All painting and decals done myself.
Each one will be slightly different.
Limited numbers being made so contact me to be placed on a list should you want one.
Being made bespoke for each person.

PM me for contact details.

Beautiful work! Saw the pic of the zombie on pinside too, looks great. 🤘🏻

Was thinking some kind of slow release/close on the lid would be good to see a bit more of the zombie when the ball run through, but not quite sure what could be used to do it.
 
Looked into it but was getting too complex.
Probably would slow the ball down too much also.
 
Sometimes when you get a lot of momentum on the ball and hit the Arena ramp which returns to your left flipper the ball can fly off the ramp. I guess this would eliminate that as it is over the hump/dip which is where it can fly off? Have you found that the mod could help remedy this problem?

The lid would be too light for any kind of soft close mech to work, also the game is so fast you would never have time to look anyway😂
 
Yep its pretty light and weighting it would dampen the flow of the ball
The only way would be to design a clockwork mech I guess which I did look into when designing the zombie.
But gave up as was getting too complex.
The ball does shoots through that section and its a pretty fast flip.
I only designed it originally to shake the chains but added the zombie in for a bit of fun and to practice on blender.

Ive played for quite a while and no airballs yet.
will slam a few down maually to see
 
Update on my Crate mod.

Crate has now random behaviour controlled by servo and activated by through ball.
So far 7 versions of behaviours.
These will trigger randomly and you will also have a couple for in game tease etc.

Adjustable colour lighting.
You can select a colour from White to Red in rainbow colors.
There will be a brightness control also.


There will be two choice of wood colour

Top work dude it's looking great, loving the servo of the crate open. 👌
 
Yeah I think it's such a great feature, it's a bit criminal not to see more of it and really show it off.
 
Thanks guys :D

Problem is I keep on cutting myself with the scapel trimming .....
