Pinball Machine

[Jack Sparrow]

Well, the Bismarck model is kicking my butt. I am at the last step but it is giving me a huge headache. I am threading this fine thread through stanchions on the deck. It's craziness. I won't give up so instead I am going to purchase the following non boat related kit. I need a change of scenery for a while, so this should be fun:

Well this is a hard right turn! I agree that sometimes we need to step back from a particularly frustrating part of our build. You are right to do so. If the moderators allow it would be fun to follow a build log of this different and intriguing kit!

just need a little break. i wasn't planning on doing a build log because it's not boat related.

Didn’t know they made pin ball machine kits. Full size or tabletop?

it's a tabletop thing, from what i can tell.

It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun to assemble. I've built a few of the kits from ROKR, but none of them were as complex or detailed as the pinball kit you've acquired. Truly a great find. Congratulations, and looking forward to hearing your experience with building it.

The ROKR Pinball kit is a fun build and a nice diversion. It doesn’t require the same kind of problem solving our ship building seems to, just follow the detailed instructions. If you have grandkids they’ll get a kick out of it! Enjoy!

Such toys are standard in America, but in Europe they are a long prison sentence

really? because some people gamble with them?

Yes. In Poland, possession of this type of slot machines is punishable by a fine of up to pln100.000 ~ $25,000 per machine. Organizing gambling games at home, in addition to the fine, may also result in imprisonment for up to 3 years. In other countries it is a bit better, but also considered illegal. You can have a slot machine, but not for money, but it's not the same fun.

there are some build videos on youtube. I just had a look at one.

Please post a build log, we have an area for planes, motorcycles and other non ship related builds.

my phone camera is not very good, so I will defer this to the youtube videos that I found which show a build log.
Here is one, for example. There are more too
