Well this is the next in the revisit mission, after Cheese didnt have time to finish this, he sent me what artwork he had and also a larger flyer scan than i had or the repository had, i believe DAD gave him this. Anyway ive decided to start from scratch and use the flyer rather than Cheeses PSD. Cheeses PSD looked a bit dark and couldnt find a layer for any brigtness etc. Here is where im up to with it, its been cleaned up, reels straigtened, coin mech added, and buttons striaghtened. Some off the lamps were lit on the flyer so these had to be unlit.

You can read more about the WIP on my website as it unfolds.

Take Your Pick (Barcrest) WDX 1280 - By Scorpio
---------------------------------------------------------

Information
-------------

Machine Name : Take Your Pick
Manufacturer : Barcrest
Stake : 20p
Jackpot : £10.00 Cash
Percentage : 88%
Release Style : WDX
Layout Size : 1280


Along with my 6th DX is an absolute classic and im sure this one will hold many memorys for a lot of people.

This beauty was done from glass scans which where obtained from Gary & Cheese. The scans needed a lot of work to get them up to the standard of which I really wanted to give this machine. The glasses were in a bad way with paint flaking, faded areas, missing areas as well as the scans being out of allignement which cant be helped when scanning. Once cleaned they were housed in the correct red cabinet with added lower glass perspective. Next was lamping which I think came out OK, but the Nudges lamps and coin lamps were a struggle, I must have done these about 10 times before finally getting the the best way I could. I added the Side art, which keeps with the theme and included visual listing of the shortcut keys, which can be minimized out of the way, for those who don't like it. There were a few lamping errors which I resolved using the test modes, and the reels were not like the originals, the number reel was redrawn to match the original as well as the main reels having the correct reel symbols and correct coloured numbers.

Skinned buttons were added, but ive introduced something new, as some people prefer graphical lamps instead of clickable buttons, ive introduced the option to have one or the other. Firstly the graphical lamp buttons exist underneath the clickable skinned buttons, so all people need to do if they dont like them is delete them and the graphical lamps will be shown. Dont worry about keyboard shortcuts as there on another set of buttons off screen.

I hope you enjoy playing this layout as much I enjoyed creating it.

Sorry its not a layout, but a website, move if appropriate, nothing special, just something to contain my layouts ive done, my current wips, links, a background of me and my intrests and history of fruitys, and a step by step tutorial type thingy, of how i completed layouts from choosing a machine, to completing it. Also a message board for you to slag me off and also a few other sections.

not far off now, spent about a week on it, im currently working on the "How I Do Layouts" step by step section, which is taking longer than i though as im going into quite a bit of detail, im hopefully aiming this section at people wanting to have a go at doing their first layout, and showing them what is involved. (may even scare them off) LOL

Coming soon to a browser near you.
