Namkwah Hawkman Coelho

Intro by Carlos Guizzo:
Release – Namkwah (Inverted Hawkman)
The Namkwah is a real machine born from a unique concept in the Brazilian pinball scene. Created by Ricardo Coelho, from Racers Pinball Clube @racerspinballclube (Mauá, São Paulo – Brazil), it was his first mod, arising from the desire to have a mirrored machine alongside his original Hawkman, creating a unique visual effect. The project used Hawkman from Taito do Brasil (1983), based on Fathom (Bally, 1981), as its foundation, maintaining all original mechanics and electronics while completely inverting the visual experience.
The concept was a natural idea from Coelho, who always sought distinctive elements for his club. The proposal was simple yet revolutionary: create the perfect mirror of the original Hawkman, where every visual element would be horizontally inverted, creating visual symmetry when positioned side by side. The result would be something never seen before in the pinball world.
Mechanically, the machine preserved all characteristics of the original Hawkman. Challenges arose during assembly, where hardware had to be adapted to function on the opposite side. Drop target banks and other mechanisms were reconfigured to operate in mirrored position, making assembly more challenging than expected.
Visually, the project came to life through the meticulous work of DanielZ @danielzpinball, who faced unique technical challenges. Using a scanned playfield from the original Hawkman, he inverted all artwork digitally but had to manually recreate each legend to ensure readability. The process required extensive digital painting work, adjusting elements that overlapped after inversion.
The biggest challenge was the backglass, which demanded almost complete recreation. DanielZ inverted the base image but had to digitally remake several sections, adjusting positioning through advanced digital painting. Even the machine's name on the backglass was inverted, creating a striking visual effect that reinforces the mirrored concept. Each plastic was redesigned to function in inverted position, maintaining visual coherence.
The Namkwah represents more than a technical curiosity: it's a creative exploration of pinball design limits, where Brazilian engineering meets artistic experimentation, creating something genuinely unique in the homebrew pinball scene.
Release – Namkwah (Hawkman Invertida)
A Namkwah é uma máquina real que nasce de um conceito inédito no cenário brasileiro de pinball. Criada por Ricardo Coelho, do Racers Pinball Clube @racerspinballclube (Mauá, São Paulo – Brasil), foi seu primeiro mod, surgindo do desejo de ter uma máquina espelhada ao lado de sua Hawkman original, criando um efeito visual único. O projeto utilizou como base a própria Hawkman da Taito do Brasil (1983), baseada na Fathom (Bally, 1981), mantendo toda a mecânica e eletrônica originais, mas invertendo completamente a experiência visual.
A concepção foi uma ideia natural de Coelho, que sempre buscou elementos diferenciados para seu clube. A proposta era simples mas revolucionária: criar o espelho perfeito da Hawkman original, onde cada elemento visual seria invertido horizontalmente, criando simetria visual quando posicionadas lado a lado. O resultado seria algo nunca visto no mundo do pinball.
Mecanicamente, a máquina preservou todas as características da Hawkman original. Os desafios surgiram na montagem, onde ferragens precisaram ser adaptadas para funcionarem no lado oposto. Banks de drop targets e outros mecanismos foram reconfigurados para operarem em posição espelhada, tornando a montagem mais desafiadora que o esperado.
Visualmente, o projeto ganhou vida através de DanielZ @danielzpinball, que enfrentou desafios técnicos únicos. Utilizando um playfield escaneado da Hawkman original, inverteu toda a arte digitalmente, mas precisou recriar manualmente cada legenda para garantir legibilidade. O processo exigiu extenso trabalho de pintura digital, ajustando elementos que se sobrepunham após a inversão.
O maior desafio foi o backglass, que demandou recriação quase completa. DanielZ inverteu a imagem base mas teve que refazer digitalmente várias seções, ajustando posicionamentos através de pintura digital avançada. Até o nome da máquina no backglass foi invertido, criando um efeito visual marcante. Cada plástico foi redesenhado para funcionar na posição invertida, mantendo a coerência visual.
A Namkwah representa mais que uma curiosidade técnica: é uma exploração criativa dos limites do design de pinball, onde a engenharia brasileira se encontra com a experimentação artística, criando algo genuinamente único no cenário de pinball homebrew.
