Magic Rabbit Set for Theatre of Magic Pinball

Sonntag, Februar 20th, 2011

After the candlelight mod for the Magic Trunk it seems to insert some new pets into Theatre of Magic Pinball. As there a many rabbits on the playfield I decide to take two and make replaces the eyes with 3mm power Leds in red, because there are dangerous rabbits on the playfield.
This time it was tricky to make the holes for it because this rabbit is tiny around 5cm long.

I done the holes like a Y 3mm for the eyes and from the back to the head around 3-5mm

It works good if you use a 1,5mm at the eyes to get a fix for the bigger hole

So up some plastics to connect the Rabbits to the slingshots.

For this I have used clear plastics and put them over the originals to prevent damage and to make the mod removeable without a trace

some times ago I orderd a LEGO R2D2 keychain and found a little usb-stick fits into the r2d2.

Some cutting, some drilling and wires

I done some little modifications on the archer.

The first version of the arrowhead was red, now I used some silver paint.
