Just here to join the choir of praise. Amazing work! Getting that update in after a few years of the plywood must feel incredible. Also - Looking forward to seeing how you did your flashers!
That is a pretty, pretty etching on the underside of that upper playfield. And it'll look DYNAMITE when lit up, too. My only concern: hopefully the drop targets won't be visible... and they're not... but that's the beauty of etched acrylic and lighting - great work!
That turned out fantastic Steve. You are really killing it now. Still think you need the lighting truss going up both sides, and across the front with about 4 comet spots on it facing the stage to give it that real stage look. However, regardless, that is a beautiful piece, and really set it off. Nicely done.
Hey Steve, been following you for a good while and while I started building my own pinball machine from scratch before ever discovering your videos, I did get quite some new and very good ideas from you. So big thanks for that! As far as the new upper playfield, it looks very slick! I did a similar thing for the outside sign of my wife's barbershop. Thick acrylic, engraved pretty deep (for more effect, especially in daylight) and RGB LEDs from the bottom and sides. However, what I feared all along is really starting to show after it being in use for a while: The front (top, in your case) will get scratched and buffed (in my case due to weather conditions and in your case due to balls moving and skipping over and on it). That, after a while, really has a negative influence on the effect that a lit-up engraving has. Have you thought about that and perhaps have something in mind to minimize or manage that? Thanks and keep up the absolutely amazing and inspiring work!!

the upper playfield is FREAKING FANTASTIC. Best thing you could do for that spot..
Wow, this looks stunning, but now you also need some lights on the stairs, I think.
That upper playfield looks amazing Steve! A long journey but man does it all look GREAT! Cheers from Canada!

That etching is pretty sweet. Nice work.
Love the new upper, looks perfect
Great stuff, Steve! I can see this looking truly spectacular, when you reach the finish line. Your dedication is so inspiring!
The amount of work that goes into a pinball machine is incredible. Great job!
That came out amazing, well done Steve!
Impressive! Now you can mess around with ideas for underneath it. Maybe other light shows 🤷♂️
I could use your new upper playfield as a topper on Led Zep! Looks Awesome!
Good stuff! This game is turning out amazing
that's insane. love it
Great work as always!
Magnificent ! 😍
I wish mandalorian didn't have that dumb exposed white wood on its tilt upper playfield... like why? Your attention to detail is great.
Too cool

Yes, I've got some very thin sheets of acrylic that I can put on top as a disposable protective top layer
Super cool
heck yeah!
Can you make the upper playfield lights react to the games music? 🤔
Not sure about that, I'm sure there's a way, but I'm not a coder so... Prolly not going to attempt that, haha
