WH2O raft mod


Darksoul

Question

EDIT: If anyone wants one let me know

 

Personally I feel the left side of the WH2O is a little bare, especially when you compare it to all the action and items on the right side (bigfoot cave, bigfoot etc). I thought I'd add a little something to the left side, a rubber raft to go on Insanity Falls.

Raft design had to be in keeping with the machine. My model reasonably matches that as on the stiker on the falls and on the backbox sides. Made with Super Sculpey. This stuff is like clay but bakes nice and hard, easy to sand and remove any imperfections.

I made two. The larger one was just too big and a bit wonky in shape, dominated the left side of the playfield rather than just balancing it against the right side.. The yellow in the smaller model is just resin to build up the base thickness for when I take a mould of it.

Two piece mold was used, also made up the paddles. Resin used was Supercast with a few drops of yellow color added. Cast raft still has the "flashing" on it. Cut and sanded flat.

Raft installed. Paddles painted up. SWEEET

there was an additional mountain piece that was removed for production games that goes around this location(bit further up), is probably why it looks bare VS RHS.

 

someone in the states is making these 'other' mountain pieces...

 

your raft looks good BTW.

 

regards

 

:D

In full production now. For those of you who have placed orders, price has dropped to $15 p+p since they take no time to make.

(mods - I wont post another thread in Pinball for Sale if that is OK. Anyone interested in this add-on knows about it anyways).
