Led Zeppelin Homebrew Pinball
Led Zeppelin was the first custom, built-from-scratch pinball machine that I made. It took four years from concept to completion. Some people complete their machine in a year or two, others might work on theirs for 5-10 years. The joy is in the journey! Although there's nothing better than watching other people having fun playing your game once it's ready.
