A surprise from my wife

Today my wife came home and she had gotten me a gift. A dyi build pinball machine. I have had this brand before and the quality wasn’t great. Hope this one will be better. Seeing a its blank wood i might try to paint this one. But the cheap kit i got for my colleague also arrived. That one will consist of lots of paper cutting wire bending and glueing. So coming months i will be working on my lesser skills haha.

Wow it looks very similar to the Rokr design but a different theme :astonished_face: I was confused a little when I saw it! Let’s hope this one have a better quality than the other you did but it still be a very cute gift of her :face_holding_back_tears:

Wishing you the best of luck on both. That pinball machine looks pretty cool. Who makes that one? It might be a good entry for the fair next year since it is a western theme

That’s such a thoughtful gift! The pinball machine sounds like a really fun project — painting it will definitely give it a nice personal touch. And hey, those “lesser skills” are just waiting for some practice to shine. You’ve got plenty of creative challenges ahead!

I definitely do haha, i dont know it i have enough patience for the painting so i might do bits between other builds or get my wife and daughter involved for the painting if they like.

Based on experience with both brands your will definitely be better and stronger. From thin brand everything i have tried ended up in the trash because of the low quality wood. Things kept breaking. So i it will be interesting to see how this one goes.

I’m really curious to hear what you think of the pinball machine. I once built one from this brand, but it ended up in the trash because it fell apart. :sweat_smile: Did your wife buy the pinball machine at Action? I haven’t seen it before. Have fun with these builds!
