Introduction: Working Mini Lego Pinball Machine
Learn how to make this working pinball machine completely from Lego.
Step 1: Watch the Video
Step 2:
Start with a 4 x 10 plate and make 2 legs that stick out 2 studs.
Step 3:
Start building upwards, use some headlight bricks so we can add some obstacles later.
Step 4:
Smooth off the edges with some tiles and slopes.
Step 5:
Keep building up and then you'll want leave a flat space on top.
Step 6:
Next we'll need to build this assembly and then hook 2 small rubber bands on the back.
Step 7:
Now place that assembly upside down on the top of our main assembly.
Step 8:
Next we'll need to clamp it down with a plate.
Step 9:
Now attach some pieces with some sort of hook on them and hook the rubber bands on.
Step 10:
Keep building up the sides.
Step 11:
Use a 1 x 4 plate and a gear plate stacked together to make the flipper buttons.
Step 12:
Place the flipper buttons face down on the gears in the gap on top, leaving 2 teeth sticking out.
Step 13:
Place a 1 x 10 plate in the gap above the buttons then keep building up, leaving a spot where the ball can exit.
Step 14:
Add some headlight bricks on the bottom and attach 2 1x1 tiles for legs, then tile off the top.
Step 15:
Build something to catch the ball (I used a Lego soccer ball), add some obstacles, and start playing.

This is outstanding! And with the base completed a whole number of different combinations for the rest of the game can be started! Great work!

Wow! That is one of the coolest builds I have seen. Great use of SNOT (studs not on top) too. Now I get to dig through my collection of bricks to try and build this myself.
