Amazing Transformation! - How to Make the Ultimate Virtual Pinball Machine Part 2

Time to paint the cabinet and apply the decals! Some extra holes also need to be drilled, so in this episode, some scary steps are taken. The end result is amazing though!

Sometimes this looks so intimidating but I love when people can make it seem as accessible as you have here. You've put me back in the spirit of a project I'd put down for a while. Thanks for the great content friend.

[@overtinker.projects]

That's so nice to hear! Keep on making man 😁

[@Bonestcg]

[@overtinker.projects]

Thanks for the compliment! I try to keep the quality high 😁

[@loopedchris2231]

This is fantastic! I was confused when your Dad come to help as it looked like there were two of you haha! Can't wait for part 3!

[@overtinker.projects]

Haha that would have been a funny edit, just me helping myself 😂

i winced when i saw him spray painting with the bicycle in the background😂

[@overtinker.projects]

To my knowledge the bike is just fine 😁

[@EwokMatt]

Looking great. The decals made a big difference.

[@overtinker.projects]

I think so too! That's really what makes it look professional

[@kdj29]

fish tales is in my top 6 favorite pins. i own Whitewater, as well as a virtual pin called an Ultra VP built by Recroom World in Grove City, Ohio, USA.

[@overtinker.projects]

Nice! I also love white water. Definitely want to own it some day

[@rodecm]

AMAZING!

[@overtinker.projects]

Thanks!

[@MotownBatman]

This is Looking Awesome Sir!! Hurry Up with the Next Video; The Suspense is... Ok I Guess lol

[@overtinker.projects]

I'm hard at work! And yes, it's quite the cliffhanger, but I'll try to post an episode every 2 weeks

[@EsbenH]

Great series, thanks for making it and congratulations on completing the project! I'm wondering about the placement of the TV - I would have thought it should be as close to the glass as possible, but yours is quite recessed. Is this standard practice for virtual pinball cabinets?

[@overtinker.projects]

Thanks for the compliment! I recessed the TV because I think it looks more like reals pinballs where the playfield is also recessed a bit. But some people also like to put it as close to the glass as possible. It's a preference and choice you make :)

[@EsbenH]

@@overtinker.projects that makes a lot of sense 😀

[@yvindlindahl1222]

Great job. Actually. Pinball decals are wet applied. And the whole cabinet is painted for that reason.

[@overtinker.projects]

Really? I've seen videos from the Stern factory where they seem to apply then dry. Also, I read somewhere that in the 90s decals were stuck onto bare wood. I can be mistaken of course. In the end I don't think it matters much what method is used

[@yvindlindahl1222]

@@overtinker.projects Stern puts the decals on wet. First video I found kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXKWZ6imh615Y9Usi=zsFeQzhfrYjf_7ws You clearly see wet application

[@overtinker.projects]

@@yvindlindahl1222 You're right, I stand corrected. I knew they use a primer under the decals, but I must have not remembered correctly that they do wet application

[@jedimarcus]

Great Job! Where did you order the decals?

[@overtinker.projects]

Thank you! I ordered them from a local print shop called Drukzo, here in Belgium. I had to email them though to get this specific kind of vinyl stickers. I'm guessing most other print shops will have a similar product.

[@soma_rc]

Veel beter dan al die shorts 👍🏻

[@overtinker.projects]

Dit is wel een pak informatiever natuurlijk :)

[@Dronetothetop]

why keep us waiting no point in that. let me see the rest of the video

[@overtinker.projects]

I wanted to build suspense. I'm also still working on the next videos and am trying to make 10 minute videos in order to not make them too long. But don't worry, you won't have to wait long :)
