So that was it. Done. Finished.<\/p>\n

And now I have a nice new looking AFM to admire and, above all, to play.<\/p>\n

It’s not perfect, but I tried. And in so doing, I’ve learned my limitations. I won’t be getting upset at the bits that didn’t go well, such as the soft clearcoat on the playfield, the laminated decals and the bent bracket (which I didn’t report on as it was just too embarassing). I’m just going to enjoy it. And anyway all the things I did achieve far outweight the things I didn’t!<\/p>\n

Here’s some pictures of the finished item (with the siderail protection still on):
