"Space, the final frontier......." and the final step to my ultimate pinball2000 topper.
I cut the 2 sides of my planet Mars poster with the space background and applied double face 3M tape to it, stuck it on a sheet of polycarbote, added a mylar on top, bought some thin styrofoam sheets from Dollarama, bought the 50 watt LED flood light you see in the link and made this for a space lighted background for my 2 pin2000 games (see pictures).

I found it was much too illuminated behind the topper, fixed it.

I hated that I had an beautiful unilluminated plastic on the shooter lane of my DE Star Trek so I installed an LED strip from DRAPL. I love how it looks & it only cost me $5.

Where are people.ordering the dust cover towels? Looks like Collage.com is no longer an option.
Mine is'nt a pinball dust cover, it's a brand new motorcyvle dust cover to protect the game from sunlight because my 2 games are right beside the window with direct sun on them.

I just finished the mod I wanted to do wirh the SWEP1 cabinet art I bought. I was thinking about doing this well before I retired from the hobby 7 years ago, when I had a pinball2000 kit as well (so I've been thinking about this for a very long time before I finally found a solution), but back then I had cabinet "decals" , now , what I bought looks a lot like decals but they are comparable to magnetic art work, they are of the same aspect, I even thought they were magnetic in the begining but they are not, I tested them on a fridge, I don't know why Williams made these, they are not decals and not magnetic, what's the use? anyway, I used them in another way, I bought very strong magnats, these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/285038117214?var=586871486043 on Ebay and put them in stratigic places in the cabinet and head (see pictures) I rivetted some polycarbonate plastics on the cabinet protectors and on the head bolts that hold the head to the cabinet, I bought a sheet of metal 0.29 mm thick,, this one: https://www.canac.ca/fr/tole-unie-galvanisee-3-pi-x-8-pi-3696 ,cut it out slightly smaller than the cabinet artwork, epoxy glued the art to the metal sheets and the results are what you see in the videos.

Wasn't a huge fan of the train station mods for CCr, blocking Bart. etc. so I made these from a $20 kit.

Here's a mod I created for Medusa and presumably Fireball 2 as well.

Since my machine did not come with a proper kickback post, I went down the rabbit hole of thinking it would be fun to fix a regular star post to give a better finished look than the 3D printed options available.

Of course, this led to needing to light it up as well...

Some gameplay with it in action:

Here is a cool custom translite for my Foo Fighters premium. I love the look of the premium translite and decided to have it customized to add pictures of my kids to the audience on the right bottom corner. Think he did a great job!
