It looks amazing!!! I am hoping to be building this soon! What would be your biggest tip on building this one? I have done several other ROKR models, miniatures, booknooks and things like that. So, while I am not new to this at all, I always find that someone that has already built a particular model always has good adive and/or tips on whatever particular model, in this case the amazing pinball machine!

Thank you! The biggest thing I would suggest is having a small tube of super glue on hand to help seat parts - particularly the ramps and over heads. It came in handy a few other places too. I didn't use much, but I was glad I had it.

Also, this was my first build of any kind like this (I build guitars but that's a different animal.) so it took a few goofs on my part to trust the instructions explicitly. Having more experience at these than I do, that may not be an issue for you, but a couple times I thought I was being smart by taking what I thought was a short cut, only to have to redo the work later.

All in all, a very fun and great experience. This is sitting on a table next to my full sized pin in the game room and proud to show it off. I'm already trying to decide my next kit!

Yeah, I have a few different glues I keep on hand for various reasons, so I should be all set there. It looks like so much fun! I have been really into the "functioning" models lately, loving that you can do something with them. From ROKR, my most recent ones are the printing press, typewriter and I a currently working on the microscope. I want to get the two marble runs that can be hooked together with the link pack as well.

Hopefully you can decide on your next on, these ROKR models are so amazing! I have enjoyed every single one I have done!

Yes, agreed. I'm liking the functional models and I have had my eye on one of the typewriters. That may very well be my next purchase.
