Quick Update

I can't believe it's been a month and a half since my last post - which means it's been that long since I've done any real work on the Zizzle. I guess that's about right, but I'm going to have to do something about that - I want to be able to play!

Some little stuff has happened in the intervening weeks, so I'll run that down to bring things up to speed, and I can get back to regular postings.

I ordered seven standard rollover switches, which I'll use to replace the button-style Zizzle rollovers for the inlanes, outlanes, skillshots, and the shooter lane.

I also found some legends class Starscream figures from the Transformers: Cybertron line, as well as a G1 painted version of Starscream from the Classic line. I'll repaint the legends class figures in jet mode, which resembles the original Cybertronian forms from the original cartoon, into Starscreams' seeker brothers: Skywarp, Thundercracker, Thrust, Dirge, and Ramjet. The Classic's Starscream will stay the way it is, though I'm not sure if I'll transform him into robot mode yet - it all depends on how much height I'll have.

I think the only things I have left to procure are some wood for the playfield / whitewoods, a few standard targets, and the particleboard to build the new cabinet. I guess I also need to get some paint - I know what I need for the figures, but I think I need to think about what the side art will be, and what the playfield artwork will be. I'm not sure if I want to go with the printed vinyl route or stenciled artwork for either of those things.

I guess I have a lot to do - I just need to keep working at it.

Until the next time!
