Ramp: animated flasher effects change colour based on mode and game progression animated effects for: Video Game mode, Disc Wars, Clu Ball, Light Cycle Battle, Zeus multiball, Drain, Orbits, Challenge of the Grid, etc. beacon lights up during cinematics and certain game modes 10 solenoid support for all mechanical devices (flipper, slings, bumpers, etc) shaker motor and blower fan operates for cinematic videos, and many table events gear motor operates with the Recognizer's movement Just a few more passes with the black, then gloss, then final tidbits like light blocking the interior, foam pads, clean up the wire routing.- RGB undercab lighting changes based on characters, multiball, and game modes The other picture shows the masked off area where the actual band will be. It's pretty even and bright with the house lights on. So the one picture below shows the light band crudely roughed out so I can test the lighting. Sometimes it's the simple tricks that get you good results. A slight scuffing with the 600 grit paper does a dang good job.
I've had to abandon the LED diffuser idea because it just wasn't working inside the helmet, so I just use the clear resin as my diffuser. The clear resin didn't give me the clarity I want for good visibility, so i had to scab in a piece of clear plastic. Put simply, it is not what I was expecting, but I'm quite happy with the results thus far. Hey all - I think i'm at a place where it's worth posting progress: I've had to spend some time preping and painting the first cast part. > test VHT NiteShade on the clear resin to see if it sticks. > do another trial run using the vacuum pump. > make mother mold using Smooth-On's Plasti-Paste II. Otherwise, the resin seemed good: short pot life so i don't have to slush it around for too long (7-10 minutes), and it hardened up good overnight. Thankfully, a molding acquaintence will let me borrow his vacuum tank to degas the resin before pouring. As i feared, without any equipment, a lot of little bubbles appeared as it was curing. > Performed a test run using Alumilite's 2-part clear resin. It's odorless, and has enough pot life that i can work with it for a good bit. Either thinning it up for the base layer, or thickening up for the inbetween layers so it doesn't drip, or using as-is for the final smooth coat. 4 layers of Smooth-On's Rebound 25 platinum cure silicon. Greetings, Users! Thanks for the encouragement!
