Well, after finishing my first table, Cyclone, I've started to work on the next one.
I'll make Fish Tales. Yes, I know there is another Fish Tales WIP, rdeejay is making a fantastic work and his table will look much better than mine (those renders are awesome) but Fish Tales is a very special pinball for me, so here I go. And I think there's nothing wrong if we have many versions of the same table.
Well, first objects placed on the table:



There is much work to do, but I think I'll enjoy making this.

Well, my Fish Tales is on the List too

I think those Rendered Tables look awesome, but it´s a hell of a work to do this ( my first one was a render table, that scapino and I did ).
And they play very different, and you need much Ram.

So normal VP Tables are the better solution for the most.

BTW

Good Start, go ahead

Melon your screenshot from your new project looks very nice.

I really liked the smooth play of Cyclone, I'm looking forward to this one too! As I said before, I like different versions from different authors, especially when they use very different methods in building the table and creating a playing style. That way everyone can choose the version that best fits their taste and playing preferences, or maybe alternate even between them. Have fun building melon!

Its a great thing to have multiple versions of the same table i think.

Looking amazing!

Looks very nice melon!

[zerbey]

Very nice, looking forward to seeing your progress!

Well, i've added more plastics, and started to work on the boat ramp. The ramp is redrawn with InkScape and GIMP, as I couldn't find a good picture of it. All the graphic stuff is very consuming to me, but slowly I progress.



Now the ramps. Once I finish the plastic redrawing everithing will be much faster.
Hope you like it.

[bolt]

Yes Melon,

your new WIP picture looking great.

[marv75]

Looks great melon!

[melon]

Well, first wire ramp made.



For the transparent plastic, I've used the same technique that I used in Cyclone with the edges. Now I'll make the other ramp and maybe I'll work on the transparent plastic until I see it's OK.

[KEG]

Looking good Melon, Thanks for the update.
