Step 1: The Frame

Ok so this is the frame. It decides how big your pinball machine will be, mine is 9x7 just to let you know. Put blue rods standing straight up on the "3d" parts and connect them all with blue rods.

SonicX 22 in reply to ShadowpomMay 9, 2010. 1:08 PM

Shadowpom says: May 4, 2010. 8:59 PM
I am doing to make 1 with probably a 9 by 18 but i will need to see if i have enough pieces.  Try replacing some of the whites with blues 3ds for maximum size.

Looks like a barren field.  Needs elements.

And if you can help me can you build mine and add elements and post it linked here? I would do it myself but I'm working on a secret project and I don't want to take it apart before posting.
~KGB~ in reply to _kira_Nov 7, 2009. 3:38 PM

_kira_ (author) in reply to ~KGB~Nov 7, 2009. 4:58 PM

~KGB~ in reply to _kira_Nov 8, 2009. 2:17 AM
ill try

Thanks for the credit. I think I said this somewhere before, but it's nice to know someone actually used that pinball machine instructable.

Trom what I can see already, you cut down on the white connecters which is definitly a plus. It looks like this is a less piece heavy build of mine, maybe more people will build it.

When you finish the instructable, please PM me, and I can add a like to this in my instructable.
_kira_ (author) in reply to dsman195276Nov 7, 2009. 3:31 PM
It's DONE! :D
Link it if you please.
