Information

      Ive been playing pinball and servicing pinball machines most of my adult life, so i decided to make a scale model based on a system 11 Williams Pinball Machine from the 80's, but in a fathers day theme! This project is packed with details, and theme to the point that I wish it was a functional real machine! Very impressive looking project but quite easy and gratifying to build. Guaranteed to put a grin on Dad's face or become the new center piece of your growing Atomm Arcade Collection!

Load file and a sheet of processing size quality engraving birch, basswood or other 1/8th plywood. Process according to file specs (ive got these pretty dialed in), then lay parts out and familliarize yourself with assembly.

I had parts of the playfield such as ramps, the truck, the bbq, etc cut out of the playfield directly to add depth. Glue their blank counter parts back into their place, so that we can glue on top of them later.
