I just wanted you to know that I have started the table and show you a screenshot
I'm still too busy to make it in two weeks but I guess I'll have it ready in a few months, before summer holidays (that's July in Norway )

[TedB]

I actually have a partially updated one to the one I did for Unclewilly where I use a different line technique in Adobe Illustrator. It makes the lines much smoother. I will try to get back at it this week/month in my spare time.


Best Regards,
Todd.

Nice one JP. This one will make a lot of people very happy (not that your others don't) but I whink this table is a little special for many. Thanks for doing it.

I think this also, Thanks

I have the apron ready. I think it looks nice enough
I didn't do much yesterday, only finish the apron and make the Gottlieb rails. I also started with the upper playfield just to find the right height.

That looks very nice JP.

HH has always been a favorite of mine...I'll definitely grab this one when it's done.

Thanks for the new WIP status. I like the table.

[CaptainNeo]

It's too bad I wasn't into VP earlier. I had a nice set of these playfields in house not to long ago. Could have given you full size scans of all 3 and saved you a ton of work. i have a ton of scans in my system, but need someone to stitch them together so I can upload them for you guys.

JP, that looks phenomenal. Great work, can't wait to see the final product.

Thanks for the Update, Really enjoy watching tables come together as much as collecting/playing all these tables. I've just learned how to convert tables and to add a B2S to old EM tables from IR. Hopefully I get good enough and release some when they are good enough and I get permission. Thanks JP for inspiration.

Thanks for the wip jp, looks fantastic!! one of best gottlieb table played many times with volcano and devil's dare

[luvthatapex]

There were full playfield redraws by bodydump if I recall recently, so hopefully JP can use these with his new release.
Great news JP, I am looking forward to seeing this beautiful table get the attention it deserves. Another gem in your crown!

[maceman]

thanx again JP!

I will be away until the 14th, but please continue to send me WIP's and i will still analyze them
This is going so well, you wont need any sort of aesthetics upgrade at all. So glad to see you using the very best looking objects for this one...it really deserves it.

If it is possible to utilize the work of others with your build, that would be great. I know rob046 would be an extreme asset for table testing and you know I am still in along the way....

Anyways, Stay safe and I will talk to guys when i am back from vacation!!

Cheers,
Maceman over and out!

Understood. Let me know if you need it re-worked some more.

And here it is another screenshot. I think I got the right heights for the playfields, so now I can continue working with photoshop on the playfield and plastics (this is making the lights, the GI, adjusting lightness, etc). I'm using bodydump playfields redraw, and they are perfect, but I still need to do a lot of work with them to adjust the lightning and make all those light effects I'll do that next, I guess I'll need a couple of weeks, since I won't have much free time, but I always find at least 30 minutes a day to do something with VP

A little about the table: I'm not using kickers to send to ball to the lower playfields, but I'm using real holes, so I hope that will give a more real feeling to the ball movement.

But I have a question about the flippers: I see in the real table that there are two set of buttons to activate the flippers. Now the question: should I do that in the table too? This is, should I use the normal buttons for the flippers and the magnasave buttons for the lower playfield flippers? If so then, does the left button activate the left flipper of the lower playfield or does it activate the right one? I ask because I can't see that in the videos I have of the table I guess it is easier to use just one set of buttons
