New family member!!!

Let's see... I've driven about 1.200km,... I have some hernia symptoms,... and my neighbours think I'm stupid (maybe they just KNOW that)... but the fact is: I OWN A PINBALL MACHINE!!!

I wanted this model so bad. I'm aware it is not a top-rated machine but I LOVE the theme!!!

Altough it is plenty of dirt, it works great... as soon as I can I'll clean and wax the playfield and replace the rubbers and the light bulbs.

Columns (arcade) World Record.

I've just received an e-mail from Steve Boyer (TwinGalaxies referee) telling me that my Columns World Record has been verified!!! (www.twingalaxies.com)

Garbage Pail Kids self-portrait.

ZBrush+Photoshop... it's been a long time since the last render :(

(By the way, at the moment I work as a high school teacher).

No Sign of Life (vector).

Same illustration as yesterday. 
This time experimented with a more child-like vector style.

Strike-3, finally restored.

My Strike-3 is restored at last!!! It is a 21'' generic cabinet, model: IngeVideo by IngeMatic S.A. (Here in Spain dedicated cabinets are hard to find. Local manufacturers built their own generic cabinets in order to import just the game PCB... yes, it makes sense, but as a collector I can assure you it sucks).

The restoration consisted in...
- Full new wiring and power supply.
- Replaced old buttons and switches, added also new ones (drilling new holes in the control panel): 1-player 4th button (in order to play some NeoGeo games), and hidden test and service buttons.
- Replaced the monitor chassis (old one didn't show red on screen).
- Old paint was removed from all metal parts, and these were sanded and repainted (matte black).
- Replaced the speaker and the marquee lamp.
- Decorated the bezel with some adhesive vinyl.
- Used U-molding in order to hide damaged borders.
...and of course, it was fully cleaned.
