APRON SKINS!! Check them out!

I took a small break on making custom instruction cards (will be back at it tomorrow) and started to make custom apron skins. Most I am sure probably don't want to change their stock apron but my Gorgar was looking beat up and ugly so I thought why not. I got it scanned, designed and printed right now. Also made flame strips to go along the inner sides. So now I just have to find a new backglass and get my boards fixed so that game actually plays agian. I did print 3 more sets if anyone wants one. $35 shipped and Ill throw in the inner side flame strips as well. Ill post pictures when its done and installed tonight.

Test fitting template

Well I got the skin installed onto the apron. Looks even better than I thought it would! Now time to head home to install it on the machine. And yes it says "Hells Pit" on it. LOL

Very nice - I like that a lot. I can't wait to see the strips installed along playfield, too!
 
I use photoshop for pretty much everything. Even making vectors with pen tool and then exporting them into illustrator. I use illustrator for my cutlines needed for the large printer.

What do u use mostly? Photoshop. Illustrator, indesign? I am a graphic designer. These are great.
 
Here is everything installed. Next up is to restore playfield, sideart, and get a new backglass. oh, and get the game working correctly. :)

bad ass idea bro. keep working on new ways to spice up the hobby like this & you'll make a lil business out this. I really like the gorgar stuff and the side rail clings really make a difference. dont let anyone steal your ideas! Good luck... I'll be purchasing some sets of gorgar and others in the near future...elektra, time warp, any other awesome late 70's/early 80's pins where the skirts just suck. btw your custom cards are so much better than the ones on pinballrebel.com, i'm guessing your a decade or 2 younger than the person who made the others! awesome job!
 
Very cool, I love your style. Ordering cards soon and thinking about the Apron.
 
Not sure how old the pinballrebel guys are who designed those, but I am 35 (act more like I am 25).. lol Also my metal fabrication guy is making me some custom side rails I designed to match the new side graphics. I was going to stencil the new side graphics but I figured I would rather go vinyl and if I ever want to remove it and bring my sides back to normal I can.

Here is a picture of what the new side rails will look like. The design will be laser cut out to match the graphics instead of the standard straight bar.
This is just a quick photoshop mock up.

I am in on the Apron set if you still have one. PM me then you can just send the Alien Poker cards with it. Thanks, I have an extra Williams apron so this will be cool to try.
 
Oh Good Lord those are nice.

Gorgar was nice, but PinBot is AWESOME!!!!

Must follow this. Must resist spending all all my money.


Damn nice work!

Thanks guys! Apron skin/decal is $35 shipped to U.S. (comes with score cards of course), so just PM me. I just got done scanning sideart, parts of playfields, and backglasses for Demolition man, Bride of Pinbot, Junkyard, Fish tales, and Whirlwind. So those will be next for aprons with scorecards. But first I am going to finish the list of scorecards I have.. 12 pins for those on the list.
