I actually have been thinking of turning that surf board into a flipper!
But of course my skills are not good enough to make it look great.
The top of the surf board would be the top of flipper.
 
Should I upload the Easter logo tonight at midnight my time? Or should I wait for tomorrow night?
Next Sunday is Easter.
 
Well either is fine, whatever suits you best, it is 10:36am Sunday morning here.
 
I will put it up tonight.
I have no room on my computer, as I have downloaded MAME rom collection, and SNES MSU collection, and a No-Intro romset. (Over 800 GB's!)
So I need to copy these over to portable hard drive, and restore my computer to factory settings afterwards.
I will start the copying after I log off tonight. (about 3 or 4am my time)
Should be done by the time I wake up.
Then I will restore computer to factory settings.
If all goes well, I should be back online tomorrow night.

Just a thought and not a lot of time to fool around, though maybe a classic style '21' pop bumper and/or something similar?
 
A pop bumper like the one shiva made?

I was thinking more along the lines of a screenshot of a custom-made oversized bumper rendered via VP, well that's how I made high resolution scorecards way back then...

Great idea!
That also may be the way to get a great looking flipper to replace that surf board!
I will get started as soon as I get back online. (Shouldn't take more than 12 hours to copy 800GB's over.)

Yes, that should be possible, does VP still do decal images? :mrgreen:

Another great idea!
I am restored to factory and back online, and beginning the process of installing all my programs.
I can make a template for each lady.
2 of them in link you posted are named Betty on file name! lol
The one on the right in blue looks like her outfit will kind of match the blue in PINBALL NIRVANA words.
I will also try the lady in white.
I also found a few other ladies I want to try.

EDIT:
It also looks like everyone loves the new Easter logo!

I was thinking blue Bettie, mainly due to her keep it secret pose.
 
You want her on both sides since it will be her debut?
I say aye.
 
We could put her both sides it would double the secrecy.
 
Here are some other ladies I found before I went offline last night.
But it doesn't look like the same artist except for the red head.

Not sure how usable the first four will be because like Harley they are not exactly striking the pose. :boobies:

Yeah the last one looks more usable than the others, as she is not on her knees.
 
So do we want her legs facing in, or out?
By the way, are we going to use old bumpers instead of the pinballs?
I suggest you take the screenshot of VP bumper, as I still haven't installed VP yet, but also because your screenshots are way higher resolution than mine?

Here with legs facing outward...

And inward facing legs...

I like the innies better, but probably because the rest have been innies. lol

Nor have I actually have to give it another go, was having screen rendering issues I have to figure out, whenever I tried to click on the DMD and adjust it, it would vanish. I do have a second screen which is part of the PC case, though I just have that displaying another wallpaper, though I can drag the cursor and other stuff over there, though no idea where that DMD is going. I did installation using the all-in-one and set it to single display, maybe that is it, or it's just Windows 11 being a bitch...

Yes I think legs in, it gives room to move her over if needs be, and I was thinking to keep the pinball and use the bumper image with a custom cap in the middle or either side, and we can perhaps incorporate some other pinball objects like targets or such.

Have you tried clicking on the PinMAME window down in your taskbar to bring it back up on screen?
Then click on it with mouse and wiggle it a bit, and it should stay up. (hopefully!)

I have a jester hat I could try out on her, but it may not look good.
I also have pointed Birthday hat that may look ok.
I am going to add a party streamer across the top of logo and see how it looks.
 
Looks a bit trashy... 🚮
 
Tried adding party hat, but also looks "trashy".
(I tried adding it to left side of her head, but looked worse than it does right now!)

I finally have VP installed.
So I will try to find a table with an old looking bumper, and take snapshot.

EDIT:
Actually that party hat doesn't look that bad!

We can post this link in forum maybe a couple days before Easter, to give hint about cow?

Edit:
By the way, brilliant idea about adding the cow to Easter logo @StevOz !
