Been working on my S&B pin ( what's new ) and finally made the Herculean effort to grab a camera and snap off some pics.
The grey looking thing in the first pic is supposed to be the roof of the beer depot. You will see mismatched targets etc, but it's all still under construction.
Top left corner (pic 2 ) you may notice that I rejigged the lanes so that after the 3 drop targets are down, you can get the ball up to the top 3 lanes. It used to do a U-turn into the saucer.
In the 3rd or 4th pic, you will undoubtedly notice a large truck with a ramp leading into it sitting where a stand up target used to be. The standup ( for letter T ) is located in the truck. To the left of the truck, I have replaced the other standup target ( Letter I ) with a captive ball...the captive ball is presently missing ( oops ).
I installed a gate on the ball launch lane. Later on I will put a decal on it that says something like "bridge out" or whatever.
For the inlanes, I replaced the really long wire form with acrylic ( a la Eight Ball Deluxe ) mainly because I hated the cheap look and sound of the wire form, but it also gives me a place to put some more artwork and I have installed ( on the right side ) a couple of playfield lights underneath. The pic of Bandit laying in a hammock is just to get an idea.
I replaced the 3rd flipper with a smaller one. The regular 3" flipper was a little overkill I think. The shorter flipper also makes the game more challenging.
In the last pic you may notice something missing ( besides the sound board, that is ). Rather than refurb the nasty looking foil, I just ran ground braid from bracket to bracket and to the other metal pieces. Still have a bit more to do.
There are a few other things I have tweaked, but I can talk about those later.
Enjoy !

I've got to get some willpower and put this thing on temporary hold so that I can get cracking on that Frontier.
