Allwin replica for an RAF museum

[classicgambler]

Well guys, here is the finished product - an allwin 1938-1940s style machine. I am very chuffed to bits on this one, as I have never done anything like this before. I will have to tweek it up a bit though with the right colors on the Cresta Run sign and the ball is a bit on the small side, but all in all everything is finished, so would you think this will pass as a museum piece ???

Well done classicgambler.

Nothing wrong with that Make sure we get a photo of it when it's in the museum set...

[classicgambler]

I sure will. At the moment the area is getting some maintenance done ready for Easter but, as soon as it goes up on the wall, I will take photos of it in its place

[classicgambler]

Well guys, I presented the replica to the museum owners and I can tell you that they REALLY loved it and they even thought that it was a real one too. They have given me the responsibility to place it anywhere I like in the mock up pub, so I have placed it on the wall near the bar with a mannequin of a WWII RAF pilot in uniform playing it. I will take some photos very soon so you can all see for yourselves

Well done that man!

Does the RAF still do things by numbers classicgambler, if so how will you fix it on the wall
will it be 'UP - two - three, HOLD - two - three, FIX - two - three, DOWN - two - three'

(apologies to those who have never encountered service life as this may be too esoteric)

The sad thing is this mock-up actually looks a lot better then a number of real machines I've seen over the years that have been re-built or "restored". Great job. Now imagine the accomplishment if you build a working version!?

[classicgambler]

Thank you very much for the compliment! Yes, I have got my head into the workings of them at the moment, figuring out how I can do this but with great folks on here and past posts and projects I will be able to have a go at them, but for now I am going to build some more of them, then at least I have a few to have a go at.
