There's still a lot to be done...
A new location, a new concept, a new design
☆ ☆ ☆ Watch out! ☆ ☆ ☆ SPOILER! ☆ ☆ ☆ Watch out! ☆ ☆ ☆
The lanes are actually just set up for this one shot.
Currently i'm working on the subfloor (if you look closer you will see that there are no carriers, ball returns), consequently i have to clear the boards again.
I just set up the lanes for my fans to present the current status.
8 lanes are prepared to get installed, but before that happens, i have to install the underground system, electronic stuff, side walls, ceiling,...
Here are some facts about my new project:
What about the design, the colors?
Actually i'm rebuilding my favorite bowling alley, the Sky Line bowling alley!
I have uploaded many vids of myself playing there... that means beige-colored walls, the masking unit will be "NewCity1" by Brunswick, black ceiling, led lighting, yellow led spots. I'm not going to install that freaky led flash light system for disco and cosmic bowling which i have used at Andys BOWL! I prefere the chillout style!
If you believe it or not, the design of Andys BOWL was also a remake of a bowling alley in germany!
What about the pinsetters? Are they working?
Well, i will use the same Brunswick GSX technique i have used at Andys BOWL before, my pinsetters are operated by hands!
But, I am working on a construction concept including the sweep wagon, the setting table, distributor,... will be like the real GS pinsetters. A box which is set on the kickbacks including all functions.
Generally I'm not interested in building real working mini pinsetters, the most important point in my eyes is the realistic modelmaking. I want my bowling lanes to look realistic and you have to look twice on it to notice that it is a model and not a full size bowling lane!
There are some really great guys out there building real working mini pinsetters, please keep up that great work! But for my part I'm more interested in designing stuff, not the technique.
If you have any ideas, suggestions, leave a comments, thumbs up (or down)
anyway
Best Regards
Andy
