I changed my mind from mdf to a material in black.

It needs more accuracy in wood preparation like diagonal cutting

The advantage of new material is no need to paint :-)

I am currently building the body of the pinball.

Fist I have to cut down the sides so it looks like an pinball.

I screwed both together and make one cut, so both sides are identical
