Re: Allwin replica for an RAF museum
Here are some of the things I have been doing. This is the door itself - the whole machine will be varnished in dark oak.

Re: Allwin replica for an RAF museum
Here is another, with the back board on, just waiting for my glass to be delivered. Then I am going to drill the ball holes, now the win and lose ones. Still trying to figure out how I can get the ball track in as well.

Re: Allwin replica for an RAF museum
Still waiting for some other bits like the ball flip handle. My mate is also making a top sign as well, to make it look something like a machine, but still a way to go yet.

Re: Allwin replica for an RAF museum
Well, I thought I would put this in here coz this is the cabinet itself with the door on. As you can see, there is a shelf in there, so you have probably sussed out what I was using. The shelf is coming out though, so don't panic. The top and bottom will have fancy pieces on them to make it look realistic, so there isn't any more photos until I have varnished it and got the glass in as well as the ball track, but it will be a step by step photo shoot. Well, I'm happy with it anyway.
Oh, and the cabinet was in our bathroom before I dismantled it, and the wife

Thanks for that. What metal is that, by the way? And also, I have signed that petition the other day but I will do it again though.

If you mean the track... it is chrome plated brass. The groove is to keep the ball away from the glass and backflash.classicgambler wrote:What metal is that by the way?

Re: Allwin replica for an RAF museum
Well, I have varnished the cabinet and the door, put the bits back on the door, and now the glass is in. You might not be able to see it, but it is there. It's coming on now - I'm just waiting for the ball track to turn up, maybe Tuesday or Wednesday, before completion.

Re: Allwin replica for an RAF museum
Another update for you guys. What I have done is added the top and bottom fancy panels to the cabinet and varnished that also. I have added the thumb stop and the ball flicker too and attached the door back on and I was a bit like 'Oooo, I wonder what it would look like now?'
So the backflash is done. Like I said, just waiting now for the ball track to turn up. So what do you all think on my first attempt?
